When driving up a hill at 25mph or so have noticed a sort of vibration. Car is in D3.
This evening the car was in D2 and up a slight hill the car kangarooed like a manual does when you let the clutch out too fast.
Also today, at 30mph on the flat the car was in D5, which is surely too high for 30, since usually on a flat its maybe in fourth and...

Saturday before last was auxiliary belt tensioner replacement day for Scarlet and a mates 1.9 TD Xantia. As I was crawling under the car to undo the bolts for the wheel arch liner, I froze and went into a state of shock. There was an intact undertray!

Hi, anybody know how much would a new caliper cost, for my 1995 ZX? Cheers Terry . :?: front caliper.

Hi all,

Now, my C5 (Year 2007) speedometer needle is no longer working.

Can someone advise me whether this is the correct part to replace?

Is the price reasonable or I can get a better deal else where?

Thank you very much.

Apologies if its been asked a thousand times, but what should the RPM be on tickover... ? My newly acquired beauty is ticking over at approx 1050 rpm ... It sounds like its 'racing' to me.

Hi
Is it possible to test a rear parking sensor with a multimeter, if so what readings should I get?
Thanks

I think the rear springs have gone on my Synergie, as the slightest load and the exhaust bangs on the trailing arm and even unloaded, other drivers think my lights are on full beam when they are not. I can't see a break in the springs, but they are very rusty and all the plastic coating has peeled away with quite a bit of metal.

I've bought new...

hi all, my friends 206 1.1 petrol 1999ish - has failed on CO at idle and revs..

quick thoughts? Partially burnt fuel I am guessing.. plugs, AF .. I guess there could be a few other things that could cause it..?

thanks,
John

oops.. sorry thought I was puttting this in Peugeot! :twisted:

Posting here as:

(1) Its the same as a 106
(2) This area is frequented a bit more often.

I'm trying to track down a knock / ping / crack type noise I have. Its certainly the shock tower area. It will 'ping' if you go to full lock either way a couple of times, it will do it more often than not. For example when I have to turn around in the road...

My car wont start unless the gas is stepped. Unconnected stepper motor before to test on high idle problem. Now it wont just start. What should i look first?

Well I have my new Xantia

1977 2.0I Auto VSX in Emerald Green with Beige leather, aircon and cruise control. Very, very nice condition, needs a couple of bits of paint and of course there are a couple of small jobs to do, but it rides extremely well, and looks new inside. I'm well impressed.

One question

It has Michelins all round, in...

Hello all,
I'm looking to buy a late C5 estate-around 08-09 model year. It will be the 140bhp automatic diesel. I will be using it to tow my caravan which is around 1300kg. Has anyone towed with one of these or had any issues.

Many thanks

Steve

I have bought a C5 2.2 Auto estate as a project for the winter as my wife is struggling with the hand brake on hill starts on her manual one due to arthritis in her hands so hoping to refurb it over the next couple of months as this is my slack time of year for work.

Hi All

If anyone is considering a purchase I bought this one onclick= window.open(this.href);return false;
and I can report that it works perfectly on my 2001 C5.

Xantia 1.8i 2000 Mk2:
Heater blower has no power on red cable at brown connector into motor. I've replaced the resistor, brushes, and relay. The fan/blower works when powered separately.
I have power on fuse 5 but no power on fuse 21.
There is power on Block B in the engine fuse box.

I don't know how to proceed to figure out how to trace the...

Hi, At Lunch time at work today the back end of my xantia failed to rise :? if anything it had sunk, so I put it up on high to see if it was anything obvious (was fine on the way to work) I noticed that the small plastic bar with a socket (dogbone?) on the end had come un-cliped from the ball to which it seemed it should be attached to, with it...

Just out of interest I have been told that driving a C5 with a blocked particle filter can blow the turbo is this correct?

Had this problem on my Xantia for 2 months if not mistaken , changed a recond throtle body with a full set of sensors and even swap the ecu with my friend's just to check for the cause. It won't be easy for me to hook it onto computer for fault checking as my car need 21 pins instead of 16 and its hard as hell to get that here. So my last bet...

i currently have a 2005 citroen dispatch van with the 1.9 non turbo engine and was wondering if the engine out of my 1.9 turbo diesel zx will fit in the van. if so will i need to swap the gearbox as well. hopefully it will be a straight swap.

thanks in advance

Hi

Hi,

About a month ago we purchased a C-15 van for my son and did a lot of repairs that needed doing to get it road worthy.

front springs and shocks were replaced amongst other bits and bobs like the rear lights. we didnt replace anthing electrical other than a couple of bulbs.

Up until now the engine has been very relaible.

Is it bodywork, and if so what and where....as engines are (as far as i could see) the same ie both 2.0 and 110's

Hi all,

I bought a used year 2007 C5 and it came with an aftermarket air-intake system. Please refer to the attachment.

I'm wondering whether I should try to find the original airbox to replace it?
Is there a downside of keeping it and I have this feeling that this air-intake system is contributing to the noise.

Since I don’t have the chance...

Hi All,

1995 ZX 1.9D with Lucas pump.

When first starting after a cold night, it seems a bit down on power until I've gone about a mile or so then you can feel it pick up; it's almost as if one injector isn't working although it idles OK after starting. It will only do this after the first start of the day and the rest of the time it's fine....

As the title suggests, which era Xantia do you prefer and why, pre '98 or the series 2 model ?

im going to change the oil next weekend. ive ordered the oil total quartz 9000 5w 40 and gearbox oil might aswell do that aswell total bv 75w 80 what id like to know is there any differance in oil filters ie main dealer as opposed to say a halfords one or should i just go for the best priced one. or does anyone have a preferance.

Hi

I know this has been discussed endless times before but I just wonder if this one has been checked before

Hi, my 1995 ZX. just noticed grinding from front near side brakes. checked the front brake pads near side to find, the pad nearest the caliper is on the metal! the other pad good as new. Iam guessing the caliper is stuck. what are my options, is it best to buy a new caliper or is it worth trying to free it ? if so, how? many thanks Terry . #-o

Dear All

After 16 years of relatively unexpected trouble free motoring my ‘94 built (registered ’95 on M) Xantia 2.0 16v VSX 155 BHP needs it’s rear main suspension arm bearings replacing. Not sure if I’m going to have time to do the work so have placed my details on the For Sale forum.

Should I push on and take her off the road to do the work,...

Has anyone actually managed to de activate the ant pinch mechanism on a C5? It says it can be done but it is a bit pigeon English!

According to the maintenance instructions in lexia to deactivate it the procedure is.

I am assuming that this means within 5 seconds of...

Hi
Just gone up the road in my newly acquired C5 2.0 hdi 138 and the EMl has come on, along with the message 'depollution fault'? My generic code reader beings up p1351 and p1352? Aren't these heater circuit fault codes?

Hi gents a ladies, I have a 2003 picasso 2.0 hdi (gave £160 for it on ebay a few months back lol) it has 215000 miles 10k of which i have done so it has really paid for itself already, but strangely considering i am a total petrol head, this is my 2nd picasso and i love them, nice to drive, cheap to run etc

Evening,

Hoping one of you kind people can help me out. In trying to get this C5 V6 to go again, I have a suspicion that there's a battery connection missing off the positive terminal, hence the car being in economy mode and not even trying to start. It just hit me today after remembering how one of the Mégane's wouldn't start after the summer of...

Aren't new starter motors brilliant :-D
Had my new one fitted yesterday and its like starting a new car again, didn't realise how bad it had got.

Thanks to Duxford Motor Group for fitting and Bank Top group for supplying the new starter! =D> =D> =D>

New positive battery lead as well starting to all look good under the bonnet.

Just a quicky, those that have the new shape c5, does the air recirculation light up on both sides of the controls? Mine only does on drivers side.

Hi all, new to this forum and was wondering if anyone has experienced a frozen sat nav, on my C5 it has the colour display, for example if I was in Hastings on the South East coast; the display will inform me that I am in Seaford, if I go to Bexhill it will tell me I am in Polegate, bit confused help please

I feel sad today, having just sold the C5. It,s the first time I have been sad on selling a car. Watched it driving away, the guy pulled off in 3rd and stalled it and I nearly jumped in and took the keys back! I feel a wee bit cheated cos I swapped it for a fiesta for my son, the cars were booking at within £50 of each other and the C5 was on sorn...
