Hi, Iam about to change the front three spheres on my series1 Xantia. My question is, would there be any benefit fitting spheres from a citroen dealer or from my local G.S.F. Are the Citroen spheres better? They are sure to be more exspensive. cheers Terry .

Yep, as Xac says, GSF Amtex ones are good. I have a NOS one here that's a good ten years old and it's lost just 4 bars in all that time...

Good point on the rear accumulator too... So often forgotten as they are both a bit tricky and appear to have no function...

There are only 3 Mk2 racks: V6; HDi 110 / 2.1TD / 2.0 CT; everything else. The later mk1 use the same rack for the 'lesser' variants (part number 4000Z1) so you should be OK.

EW10J4 Water Pump Failure

A new one for me, at least on PSA motors.

Its shaft bearings collapsed, lunching the pressed metal impeller. The now-canted pump sprocket threw its timing belt, bending all sixteen valves in the Xsara which held it. I saw this on Thursday at a mate's workshop; they were asking me about replacement valves.

A good reason to change the water pump...

Last post

Don't knw about exhaust manifolds but for pretty well everything else I use ordinary silicone sealant. If you apply it to one surface the night before you want to reassemble, it forms a nice soft rubber gasket that doesn't accidentally scrape off.

Do you have an older C5? is it pristine? are you planning on keeping it for a while?
Then if you have never done it take the plastic sills covers off (it's an easy job) and be prepared to be amazed / surprised / horrified.

Tip before starting this ensure you have a can of waxoil or similar ready.

last year I had to have my year 2001 607 welded. I was really shocked and disappointed.
The floor had split away from the sill near a front jacking point which was folded flat by some previous owner's abuse.
The car is fine and the welding is in a place that isn't visible, but obviously it's not galvanised any more.

2.2 HDi part identification.

by SaabC5 » 11 Sep 2011, 09:41

First post

Was checking the fluid levels yesterday when i came across a broken actuator rod in the engine bay. Its to the right hand side of the engine in the centre of the picture below. The actuator is very thin and goes deep into the engine bay, it connects via a ball socket at the top where its broken. Whats the name/function of this little beasty please?

Last post

Mine was the same when I got my 2.2 but only took 5 mins as I took the plastic end of the new one and put on the old rod.

Ah yes! but in all probability the rubber diaphragm has holes in it :-) and you are only a little way from getting the dreaded Anti Polution fault because the Turbo has overboosted due to lack of vacuum.
You will have to...

seat-covers for a C5 mk.1 ?

by Norlander » 07 Oct 2011, 03:56

First post

Does anyone know of a decent set of off-the-shelf seat covers -- under say £60, not tailored ones at £200 or so -- to fit a C5 mk.1?

Had figured that any front arm-rest problem could be sorted with some cut and stitch customisation, and quite a number of makes/sets claim to make provision for airbags, but wonder if universal covers might prove...

Last post

I had a some from Morrisons which fitted the front seats lovely as they had an airbag slot in both of the side uprights , they were quite heavy duty but a good price . They still sell them as individual seat covers for about £8 each or so

98 dispatch fuse box

by wotwot » 05 Oct 2011, 09:17

First post

I have had a look around but cant find the glovebox fuse board layout.
There are a couple of fuses missing (or not needed) and would like to know what all the fuses are.
Got the van as a non runner,after taking the head off it has a broken valve which has made mincemeat of the head and piston so I Just transplanted an engine into it.
Any pointers...

No problem , hope you get your van sorted

Xantia interior light

by froggy » 06 Oct 2011, 11:50

First post

Hi, the bulb has blown on the interior light on my series 1 Xantia. Probably silly question, but, how do I acess the bulb without breaking the plastic cover? many thanks in advance Terry.

Last post

To get the unit out you must prise it out from the top as there are a couple of tags at the bottom. Its quite common for the bulb holder to have a poor connection so do the wiggle test before changing the bulb.

Leaking Doseur valve?

Is that what it looks like?

If so..... :cry:

What's the best way to go about sorting that, a refurbished unit? It looks very crammed in by turbo piping and AC pipes. Cack!

Last post

Changed the seal with the help of a friend yesterday, only took us about 3 or 4 hours :lol:

Removing all the intercooler piping and shifting the AC pipes out of the way takes a while!!

Is the seal meant to not look too bad? Certainly not with a big hole in it or anything? I didn't get chance to see if the leak has gone when I got to work this...

Citroen Xantia 2.0L HDI SX brake pads

by stevestix8 » 03 Oct 2011, 22:56

First post

Hi all,

Am thinking about buying new pads for my Xantia. Have looked around for different prices and makes. Have narrowed it down to either Pagid or Mintex, the mintex were more expensive and the pagid works up to higher temp levels.

Can anyone give me some advice on the best pads for my HDi it is the 110bhp engine with the 283mm discs.

Thaks...

Last post

Ok thanks for responses.

We decided to order the Pagid pads and we managed to get them for £35.00 thanks to 25% discount europarts are doing at moment.

Good quality pads at the cheaper pads price. The Pagid pads are more likely to do 50k than the Apec ones.

Cheers

Steve

Yet another radio coding problem

This is the Citroen branded 4030RDS model.
I've stupidly inputed the wrong code and my radio is now locked out & we're now at the 4 dashes stage.I recently left radio on for an hour which brought up the code display.Inputed code, back to 4 bars.
Some of the LED bars have gone missing lately, so I can't see some numbers in their entirety. When I...

Thanks for the reply Jim.In the event,I managed to scroll through & put the right code in,was getting worried though.

HPi and IDE. The same disaster?

First post

Something just clicked, and I'd like to confirm it.

The Citroen HPi engine fitted to the C5 suffers from fuel injections issues, particularly with the fuel pump. So does the IDE engine fitted to Renaults of the same period.

I've heard nothing but negative comments on them both, and it's common knowledge to avoid the Laguna IDE like the plague......

Last post

It's done 20k miles every two years, and had a service at each milestone. So, right on the time deadline, but 2k miles past the mileage deadline :oops:

A casual oil and filter change ain't a bad idea. I've done that on plenty of cars, although the Espace V6 did almost put me off for life. Now that we're approaching the 100k mark, I fully intend...
