Early Xantia Speedo Cable

by citroenxm » 19 Dec 2011, 22:22

First post

Heres a good one for SOME of us..

Im being prepared and cautious, just had a message through.. The Xantia Sinker, I have on my list, has broken her speedo. Im not sure if the clock its self is at fault or the upper or lower cable has broken. It could be either till I get there to look. I have had reports though of a Slow milometer recorder in the...

Last post

iirc (2 years ago) the cable comes out in a plastic trumpet, i 'removed' that trumpet and then from there you can take the cable into the cavity and drop down behind the centre console. You'll need to leave some of the trumpet behind for the cable to sit in so it doesnt fall out. once you get behind the plastic liner on the back of the clocks its...

Recommended life for a tyre is said to be 6 years .. you dont want to be buying a tyre much older than that, certainly not over 10 as you don't know its history, where it has been stored and how, or how it has been used. It might just start to break up.

Any one on here ever rebuilt a Xantia pressure regulator

I thought I'd get hold of a spare (same part number as some BXs) and have a play.

yep, the main problem is they loose accuracy pressure output, you will need to test the valve on the car with a cheap pressure guage off of E-bay that reads up to at least 200bar as the cut in pressure should be 145bar and cut out 170bar. You will also need a bit of pipe made up to connect it to the valves output port.

Not wanting to add to your gloom, but I think ESP warning lights are covered by the MOT from January. So, even if there is nothing wrong with the car the fact that there is a warning light misbehaving might cause a fail.

Hi. Looking for either a video that or illustrative guide on changing spheres in Xantia HID. I was told it's not that complicated.

Last post

A good rule of thumb when the anti-sink sphere is dead; The car stays in correct height over the night. At the moment you start the engine the rear-end will sink to low and then raise again.

Oh goody. Mine does that so sounds like a new anti sink sphere will be needed too. That's going to have to wait until after christmas.

clutch helper spring

by jamielindsay1988 » 11 Dec 2011, 16:16

First post

couple of months back my clutch helper spring came off and my clutch pedal depressed slightly but could still operate

but the problem now is that last nyt my clutch hit the floor with no resistance and i could not engage the clutch

so today I have removed clutch cable but it is still intact with the nylon clip in the foot well still attached...

Last post

Another reason can be failure of the nylon bushings on the clutch release shaft in the gearbox bellhousing. I had this happen on my old Sinker and it caused the clutch to be so bad it would only just release and take up was very jerky...

If it's just the top bush then it can be done in-situ, just. The bottom bush can only be done after removing...

Xantia heater control slider

by froggy » 11 Dec 2011, 18:02

First post

Hi, my Xantia 1.9T.D. The slder switch that controls the fresh air or recycled air , seems to hit against something when trying to slide it to the left. could something have jammed ? anybody got any thoughts Terry.

Last post

This is a very common problem Terry and it's caused by a kink in the bowden cable that operates the recirculation flap(s) above the blower and air intake. You'll find the kink on the inner of the cable at the slider end.

Sadly, cable replacement is the only completely effective way to fix it although some have succeeded in turning the cable at...

A petition to re-instate the rolling exemption for vehicles over 25 years old has been started:

It wwould be a while before even early Xantias would qualify, but some of the more knowledgeable and active forum members have cars that would (soon) qualify.

sunroof problems xantia 97

by wornelly » 10 Dec 2011, 23:24

First post

hi, can anybody help me here, i can open the sunroof on my xantia, but it dont close so well, hv to hold what looks like a relay near the sunroof motor for it too close any ideas thanks in advance :)

Last post

As it opens OK, but won't close on the switch/relay, I'd suspect the switch. Had the same problem with my driver's side window - one-shot down every time, but umpteen tries to get it to close. Temporary solution was to swap with the rear door switch. Subsequently replaced with a good spare.

c5 reverse switch fault or not?

by adel » 05 Apr 2011, 14:45

First post

hi,
I have a 2002 C5, recently when I step into reverse, I can not hear the usual beep. I checked and found that the reverse lights do not light up, and the parking sensors were not working.
A few days later the beep went back to work, and with it the lights and sensors. I mean, it comes and goes.
What problem do you think? Is it a touch loose in...

Last post

Hi, remove switch, remove sealing washer and throw away, put switch back using sealing tape or past.

Worked for me! Dave.

Hello everyone,
It's been a lomg time since I have posted on here so I hope you don't mind offering me some advice...

My 2002 HDi Picasso has a couple of faults. Firstly, the dreaded in-tank pump is on the way out. 5 or 6 times now over the last few months, it has failed to start only to restart after a hefty clump on the unserside of the tank....

First post

Hi all any help would be appreciated before I pull out what little i have left of my hair.

My wifes xantia S2 has been our repairers for about 9 weeks with fluid leaks from the rear of the car.

SO far we have replaced the rear pressure regulator 2 rear cylinders the rear height corrector, the anti sink sphere and the reg sphere, now we have a...

Last post

If the pressure ever got to the point of bursting anything the car would be at maximum height and rock hard or would have to have another car in the boot.

Not sure what is meant by pressure regulator though, there is only one under the bonnet, nothing to regulate pressure at the back, just seems a bit of a faf, do you know where the current leak...

A 19 mm socket fits over it a treat and with an extension bar so you could work out of the boot aperture - it came off in a jiffy

Would that be a hexagon socket or a bi-hex or doesn't it make any difference?

Hi Guys, been a while (lost my password when site redesigned).

Here's the thing, my Xantia estate has been sitting, doing nothing all summer and autumn, and I thought I'd better put it in the garage for the winter.
Of course, the battery was well flat, so I put it on charge, but it was too far gone and will need renewing.
Just to move the car, I...

Can anyone tell me the difference between a Beru 909MJ and a Beru GN909?

The reason I ask is because I fitted a new set of NGK plugs to the Xant a while ago and I have the following issue:-

On cold start, it has become smoky again and frequently stalls with the recent decrease in temperature. Battery has been replaced with a Bosch...

The two cases I refer to involved my XM estate and my sons P100 pick up. The XM suddenly lost all glow plugs when I was working on it, I removed the relay and found one lead had broken off, I crimped on a new tag but couldn't get the nut undone as it had been 'cooking' for quite a while. I eventually got the nuts off and fitted new tags but having...
