Hi all,

My C5, Year 2007 has this problem of foggy windscreen. I never had such problem with my ex-cars of various brands. I’m wondering whether I’m not used to the way Citroen build its aircon system so I wanted to ask the experts here.

Our weather here is hot and humid, around 31~33c. The foggy situation usually happened during a rain day when...

I agree with what Mandrake (Simon) says. It is a very good idea to make sure the glass is spotless inside and out, as any dirt is a condensation seed point. I also use Rain-X on the windscreen to help keep it clear when it is raining.

Hi All,

Just recently my gearshift has become very stiff,there is no problem engaging the gears and it engages all gears and runs fine.
Is there a problem with the gear linkages.

Dear guys,

on my Mk2 Xantia Break the roof vibrates in a specific RPM range. The roof is probably glued to a carrier leading between the B-columns and the bonding does not hold any more. When a rear passenger supports the roof, the vibrations are gone.

Is it a typical illness of Mk2 Xantias?
As the interior lining on the roof is glued as well,...

Hi guys,
yesterday I was able to squeeze some 4 mm thin sponge sheet (5 x 10 cm) in between the transverse frame and the roof. To do that, I removed the rear-passenger handles and cautiously pulled away but not un-bonded the roof lining. Then I moved the sponges towards the middle of the roof by just a couple of centimeters. Now the vibrations are...

Mike,

Use a large bladed screwdriver and gently lever it out. It's not the usual brittle plastic that's used all over the car. It may help slightly if you push down in the centre of the cover while working the screwdriver blade around the edge.

If you have strong finger nails you don't even need a screwdriver :)

These parts are rarer to find here from the new design xantias. Can i replace all these parts from a mark 1 xantia more easily and cheaply availble from the scrapyard?

It'll fit fine. You must use the slam panel though as the front end is of different design.

Can you please clarify if the existing radiator for the hdi can fit into the slam panel of the older version xantia? The shop were doubtful it will.

Hi,

2002 Picasso. Randomly, the left rear wheel's brake doesn't release after braking.

It has drum brakes on the rear. To get it to release, it is necessary to pull over and open the bleed nipple briefly to relieve the pressure.

As it has ABS, there is no load compensator valve for the rear brakes.

Replaced (to no avail):

- ABS unit.
- Drum...

my first thought would be flexi hose has collapsed internally as it happens after braking and not after using the hand brake,

... The anti-sink sphere is the only rear sphere that won't affect the ride quality if faulty.
But it will mean no emergency braking (if pump pressure is lost) at the rear.
Correct, however I've sometimes wondered how effective rear brakes entirely on their own would be in stopping from any sort of speed - probably not that effective at all.
