Forum server settings changed

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

First post

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).

There may...

I have been keeping an eye on the server performance, and the every 5 minutes same addresses would flood the forum with requests for a few seconds before getting blocked again.

In the last hour they seem to have got bored and gone away.

Last post

No worries - best of luck. When there's no gas, you have no suspension apart from the air in the tyres. The LDS fluid is not compressible, so if there is no nitrogen gas inside the sphere membranes (which is compressible), the LDS fluid has nothing to push up against except the cylinder casing, giving no springing and the rock hard effect.

Oil smell and occasion smoke from ac (Citroen DS3)

by Arcann » Yesterday, 08:57

First post

Hi Everyone,

Got an oil smell coming from ac as well as some smoke from the ac earlier today, that only happens when stationary. Small oil leak came up on my MOT a couple months ago and last 2 months been having to top up engine oil every 3 weeks but been told they tend to burn oil anyway.

Was wondering if anyone knew what this smell could be,...

Last post

More details are needed. What year is your car and which engine does it have ? Can you see exactly where the smoke is coming from ? Where abouts is the oil leak ?

Citroen C3 Picasso 1.6hdi 110

Hello All 👋

I’m hoping that the forum could help with ongoing issues I have with my C3 Picasso.

It is a 2011 1.6hdi 110 manual (8v engine) exclusive it’s done 52k miles. We got it when it had done 28k miles and previously we had all four injectors replaced at 35k miles when it started to cough on long journeys that would put it into limp mode,...

Sounds like it needs another injector... failure is not uncommon on this engine.

PART # FOR XANTIA LHM RESERVOIR / TANK

I need to replace my warped LHM reservoir tank.
What is the part number ?
Any suggestions what vendor may have it in stock?

Thank you

Not sure if I posted this previously. I fixed a sagging Xantia tank using a short length of 110mm plumbing waste pipe. With the tank empty, measure and work out the height required. Cut pipe to this length, then also cut it through along the length. It can now be squeezed down to go inside tank, then opened out a bit to seat on the base, and round...

Random knocking noise like something is banging on the bottom of the car

Hi!
I Have a C4 II 2018 and in the last few months I've been hearing a strange knocking noise coming from under the car though I can't pinpoint it well. It usually doesn't happen in the morning when I start the car, but it will come up after 10-15 min of driving. I couldn't tie it to any specific behaviour, though it seems to happen less when...

Clunky Steering

by Dustysweeper » 12 May 2024, 20:36

First post

I'm being told that instead of it being a worn inner tire rod on the left hand side, it is the full rack needing repaired/replaced.

When the steering gets to almost full lock left there's a heavy clunk you can feel on the drivers floor and it's creaking lock to lock. The clunk is definitely coming from the left side though. I'm inclined to just...

Last post

Generally speaking there is usually a plastic bush inboard of the inner track rod, often replaceable in situ, if you could replace that too while you were in there you will have covered all eventualities.

They don't need 'configuring' as such as far as I'm aware, but the pump will need priming and the de-Nox system resetting I suspect.

Intermittent power steering fault

Hi,
Bought my c5 exclusive 2lt hdi manual from a garage in Edinburgh, it was a trade in, good condition throughout low miles of 76,000 no warranty as mileage could not be verified, salesman said it had intermittent power steering fault, loss of power, bought the car anyway cause I liked it drove about 4 miles and steering went stiff, straight road...

Well who would believe it, went out for a 40 mile jaunt and everything is working great, my hunch is the brains in the car have somehow reset with fitting new battery and voltage going up, thanks for help it’s much appreciated, this car has been a little frustrating but I love driving it.

Could also be separate faults. Turbo electrovlve is a pretty common issue on ye olde 1.6 HDI 16V.
It sits on the back right corner of the engine

Hi.

So it's time for a new research to keep me busy with my C5X7 tourer....

It happens on my X7 occasionally and has done for the 8 years I've had the car. I just operate the wiper manually while I grin and bear it.

I'm looking at purchasing a 2010 dispatch van but the mileage history is a bit odd - the seller says that the garage has taken the wrong number to fill in the total mileage. Can the bottom number only display total mileage or can it scroll through different info?
Thanks

Last post

Be aware that after removing the battery it can change to kms instead of miles. It can be changed back in the display settings. Mu Dispatch gad a weird MOT mileage for one year. It was showing kms.

This is very helpful, cheers!

Have you checked if the immobiliser is recognising the ignition key ? Leave the key in the ignition and open the driver's door, most cars give a warning about the key if recognised.
