Forum server settings changed

by xantia_v6 » 07 May 2024, 19:01 » in Forum News, Announcements and Issues

First post

Due to excessive server loading caused by some badly behaved 'bots' (automated content collectors), I have changed the anti-ddos settings on the site to be much more aggressive.

This has had the desired effect of reducing the server loading from 100% to about 10% (the other 90% was coming from just 8 IP addresses located in China).

Not sure if it will work for you because it will depend on the host amongst other things.

You might want to try to get a glue meant to fit in this type of problem. It will give a grip to the screw driver and the screw itself. I bought it sometimes ago at one hardware shop (I forgot where) but neve use before so I'm not sure whether it is effective. Spray some WD40 first on the screw.

From memory (which is poor, as I last did this job in 1992!), you have to remove the glovebox assembly. At the back of it, you will find the timer unit. If you are lucky, the multiblock may have fallen off it, if not, you will need to replace the unit.

central locking

by Tel » 29 Jun 2001, 02:35

First post

Hi M8, don’t know if it’s the same on a BX but on my ZX there is a black globe built into the console beside the rear view mirror. The globe is the receiver for the remote control. If you remove the console there is normally a sticker around the globe area with a code on it. I believe this is the code of the transmitter, I am assuming this, as the...

Xantia Accu Sphere Diagnosis

by Stephen » 04 Jul 2001, 03:29

First post

Sounds very much like a problem I had, and it was the accumulator. Changing this was fairly simple after looking at the advice from this forum. See Xantia suspension and brakes. I used the jubilee clib method to remove the sphere from the start and had no problems. Happy sphere changing.

Last post

I have recently purchased a 93 Xantia all the spheres have been changed except the accumulator, when I apply the brakes the regulator cuts in and out rapidly.
the pump normally cycles about every 20 secounds, is the accumulator due for replacement?

Xantia ABS Problem

by andy hannett » 20 Jun 2001, 04:02

Well at last I have solved my Xantia ABS problem reported since months ago!
The computer at the dealer said it was an electrovalve fault, but they had no idea, surprise, suprise!
So I bit the bullet and bought a reconditioned controller and, hey presto, no further problems. The best deal I found was company called Black Box who can supply the...

Xantia wheels

by JohnD » 20 Jun 2001, 00:57

First post

I drive a 1998 Xantia 2.1TD SX which is fitted with 205/60x15's. As far as I can see the steel rims are the same size as the 1.9 versions. The only draw back is that you don't get such a wide range of budget tyres in 205 size. But replacement Michelins do give a lovely ride!

Last post

Is it possible to fit 205/60/15 tyres to the standard wheels on a Xantia 1.9TD Estate? - They fit this tyre size to the alloy wheeled versions and I have seen steel wheeled 2.1s in france with 205s - Going from 165 standard to 195s on our BX ( with GTI wheels ) completely tranformed the handling and braking ability

Xantia Alarm

This might be a last resort, but try disconnecting the battery for a few minutes. Sometimes car electronics get their Knickers in a twist!

Last post

A few months back the alarm on my 1.9TD Estate packed in - it went off - then when I rearmed it the hazard lights stayed on - after this the alarm just wont set. I'm assuming there may be some sort of reset, but I cant find the alarm module. If not any ideas?

Well sounds almosst certainly like teh head again. Sometimes there are minute cracks around the valve ports which even with skimming will cause problems.
Best to get these checked before spending money on the head. Soem palces use X-Rays to spot these failings.

Xantia LHM tank

by Stephen » 18 Jun 2001, 14:45

First post

This not an answer, more of an additional question. It's just that I am about to clean out and replace LHM. I noticed that one of the four hoses that clip to the side of the tank does not go connect to anything. Is it just a breather ?

Last post

Not exactly a new topic as still applicable to suspension, brakes, p/steering.
Can anyone tell me exactly where the small (Biro sized) black plastic tube fits within the LHM tank?
I found mine at the bottom of the tank (courtesy of a previous owner) whilst cleaning tank out etc. I think it should be fitted to one of the holes within the filter...

ZX Rattling power steering pump?

by Jon » 14 Jun 2001, 18:16

First post

Tel, if you have replaced both the belt and the pump, then the only thing that can be causing this is the belt roller tensioner. They send to get noisy as they get older. I have replaced this part on my last 2 ZX's.

Hi all,
I have a ZX Aura T.D. I have an annoying rattling noise /clattering noise coming from the power steering pump area. At first I thought the drive belt must have been slipping so I checked the tension and found it to be ok. I decided to replace the belt to see if that was the cause (the old belt was in good condition) the new belt done the...

xantia power +

Try vanaaken developments at www.vanaaken.com
They offer various performance upgrades for the 19td engine, I had work done on a ZX 19TD by them a few years ago, which took power to about 105hp from 92, and the difference was really noticable.

DIRAVI Steering Racks

Hi,
As far as I know racks are the same. I think the different front track was handled by using different length rack end joints.

Hi all....
Just quick question:-
Is there any difference between the pre-1981 (narrow front track) CX DIRAVI steering rack and the post-1981 (wide front track) ones?
Cheers.

The oil filter is on the front of the engine, look behind the radiator, and you should see it, slightly towards the drivers side of the car.
Andyspares sell this part, our reference is N12048, the price is £3.50 (Citroen boxed)

Xantia Brakes and Suspension

by andy hannett » 07 Jun 2001, 00:25

First post

Stephen,
Firstly, if the car clicks a lot ie more than once every minute or so then the accumulator sphere is knackered and needs replacement. The LHM should be changed every 60,000 miles or thereabouts. I would always recommend using hydraflush at this point to give the whole system a clean, this should be run in the car for around 1000 miles and...

Last post

I have been reading these pages and think they are brilliant. My brake and suspension problem could be related. The brakes have been feeling a little spongy recently on first use, but is ok after i'm off the drive. The car always sinks when first started, and I think that it clicks a lot. From your pages I am assuming that the accumulator shere...

Brake judder

by Dave Burns » 31 May 2001, 23:44

First post

Hi Chris
Your brake judder sounds like disc run out to me, you should measure disc run out with a dial test indicator, the maximum run out as specified in the Haines manual is 0.05mm that's about 2 thou, however if you have checked this on the outer face and it was ok, go and check the inner face, there could be a differing thicknes on the...

Last post

Hi all,
Have recently changed all disks and pads ('96 Xantia 1.9TD) and have been getting judder from the front ever since. It only starts once the new stuff is bedded in and is the front - as pulling on the handbrake while driving also produces the judder.
It's ok when braking (really) hard, but is most noticable braking normally for corners...

drive shaft for AX11

by Jon » 30 May 2001, 17:31

First post

The change on AX shafts in 1991 was the length, the 91> shafts are slightly longer. The reason for this was that Citroen increased the track (width) of the AX in 91 to give better roadholding. It also meant that the entire front suspension and driveshafts could be shared with the then new Peugeot 106 models.
Hope that helps.
Jon Wood
IT...

Last post

I was looking for my new drive shaft and wondering what's the difference between the pre 91 and after 91 model. Can both of them fix to the same engine. Previously when I change a reconded one, I found that it was slimer in diameter compared to my old driveshaft. Can someone help me? Thank you.
