Parts for Classic / Older Citroen, Peugeot Renault Vehicles

This may be of interest to Members with older vehicles where getting parts is a struggle and for those not already aware of the site.

PSA are embarking on a project to provide some supplies of original and re manufactured parts for older vehicles and classics, and have made it a...

I've used them a couple of times, most recently for a pair of XM rear ram gaiters.
Not cheap, but the only source found for new ones.

The Search box will accept original part numbers, so no need to go ploughing through the long, illustrated lists. Some good stuff there, genuine and new!

Xantia wiring woes

Hi, after doing the serpentine belt I've had a few electric problems with my 1996 Xantia 1.9d - as she is the home hack I’ve just bypassed the main problem which were the erratic electric windows with a new feed. I did this by sourcing a feed from a large juicy pink wire in the foot well under the fuse box which was a constant live - ok the...

Late S2 Xantia Wireless Removal?

by CitroJim » 04 Dec 2011, 17:23

First post

Go on, I give up...

How do you remove the wireless from a very late S2 Xantia with the flip-up cover?

I see four holes around the edge of the wireless so I guess I need some form of special tool for this... Poking various round things down the holes does not produce the desired result...

Thanks!

Xantia heater control problems

by i3 » 07 Dec 2011, 00:13

First post

Hey there,
got an annoying little fault with the xantia: the lighting for the radiator speed/temp controls have died. they were dead on the last xantia too, and it's an annoying fault!
i did once on have the unit out on the old xant to change with a replacement unit. couldnt see bulbs or anything though...
any help appreciated.
thanks

Last post

Two small bulbs in the heater controls. You have to unclip and remove the black cover on the top to get at them. A bit fiddly but it isn't too difficult. I found that you had to move the heater controls into a certain position to get them out.

Mine weren't working for months until I got round to doing it!

After quite a few weeks of playing up and going all the way over to the right a couple of times a day, my tacho has now decided to stop working all together. My car is a Synergie with the semi auto injection pump. Should I replace the TDC sensor, and if so where can I find it?

Could also be a duff sensor for the rev counter. The old type of cars had the rev counter hooked up to the coil for a signal.

My 1.9D does run at about 80 on the gauge in colder weather but takes a long time to get there. I have replaced the thermostat in the past year which seemed to make little difference. Does it never get up to 80?

Coolant temperature gauge. Xantia.

by Stepto1 » 03 Dec 2011, 20:20

First post

Ooops. Spoke to soon. On the way back from Plymouth the temperature gauge went mad. Started at midpoint where it should be, then flicked to max, dropped a bit, then normal, then max where it has remained since. I'm guessing it's going to be the sender. My question is, on a 1.8 16v, where is it? Can't see it on the rad or hoses.

Last post

Ooops. Confession time. Negative lead wasn't that tight so I think that may have been the problem. It reads 12.5v at rest and over 14v when running so think alternator and battery are ok. Cleaned terminals and clamps so fingers crossed for the winter. Good spot though, I'd have never have checked.

Early 306TD's (old shape pre 97) are Bosch in 90% of cases. After that (new shape) 90% are Lucas if that helps as there should be a fair few of those floating around. The N/A models are Lucas old shape and Bosch new shape but neither of those pumps are suitable as you know.

C4 1.6 petrol turbo - power fluctuation / loss

by C4Turbo » 30 Nov 2011, 04:13

First post

Has anyone encountered this or a similar problem?

Our C4 1.6 petrol turbo automatic hatch is 18 months old. In the past 6 months it has developed a sudden power loss issue, as though the turbo has cut out. it then appears to run in safe mode. It can last from 30 minutes to days. The worst example lasted over 500 kilometres on a long interstate...

Good advice. Maybe a sophisticated dyno-tuner would pick it up.

C5 mk1 2.2 diesel engine light on

First post

Hello,
I am looking into buying a C5 diesel and am interested in one advertised with an engine managment light problem.
Apparently, this is intermittent and when it lights the car will go into safe mode.
So:
1 - is this a common problem and can it be cured relatively cheaply?
2 - is it a good idea to drive in safe mode for very long?
3 - what kind...

Its a 51 reg.

Hi, I have a 2001 Citroën C5 mk1, 2.2 hdi aut, and Lexia interface.
Lexia can’t communicate through diagnostic connector with bsi,
no any dialogs. But on another same C5 communications is normal.
I checked diagnostic connector on my C5, it is ok. Is any fuse in diagnostic line?
Or you have some ideas?

Problem solved. Fuse f10 blown!

Hi all,

Please someone put me out of my misery!

I am sure my courtesy lights used to come on when a door was opened. I have searched the forum and cannot find anything about it other than a post on a 306 which wasn't helpful.

My courtesy lights only operate when a door is open and... wait for it!

Xantia fans

by froggy » 28 Nov 2011, 10:09

First post

Hi, Just changed the coolant in my Fathers 1997 Xantia , T,D, The fans are not cutting in, with the temp gauge at 100. My Father isn t sure if they were working before the coolant change . Could the coolant change be responsible for the fans not working? any advice greatfully received . cheers Terry.

Last post

This sounds like the Common 3 Relay layout failure...

There are three relays between the fans behind the grill, hidden in a triangular box.. these control the fan speeds with signals from the Coolant ECU.. Its VERY common for the terminals to corrode and then arch and over heat and loose connection!

Remove your grill, then remove the top cover...

C5 V6 Fuse Change - Now engine will not start

by Mac007 » 28 Nov 2011, 21:23

First post

Now what have I done.........

Earlier today the display unit went dark, I checked the fuses - swapped some around to make sure they were all working then replaced each in their own slot in the under-dash fuse-box.

Now the engine will not start - the display (now initially working again) states there is a fault with the alarm system. I guess I...

Last post

Are you 100% sure you have put all the fuses back where they came from ? Id maybe go over them again using the handbook to confirm what goes where. The alarm & imobiliser systems are totally independant of each other so a fault with the alarm system should not stop it starting.

Thanks, John.

I'd noted the ES9J4 cars had the correct caliper, albeit with a different support montage , just wasn't sure how far back it went. There is a fellow breaking a red late XM (99?) on Leboncoin with V6 and LPG that looks a cracker. Auto, though - not the super rare manual!

REPLACEMENT RADIO & STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS

by DublinChris » 29 Nov 2011, 01:16

First post

Series 2 Xantia 1998 TD. Seems if I put in new replacement radio/cd that I cannot use steering wheel controls. Anybody know of a radio type that would still allow me to use steering wheel controls? :?:
Also still trying to identify +/- pins on back of original radio so that I can connect it to battery to try overcome code lockout. Any help...

Most head units that can handle remote controls will just need an adaptor lead.

Long Term Xantia HDi problem, advice appreciated...

Hi Guys

New user on this forum but I have owned a Xantia HDi since 2006. Its the 110 version and I love it to bits, such a vastly underated car in my opinion and I love the fuel economy you can get from this engine compared to the previous TDi (I owned one of them too until I slammed it into the back of a Toyota Avensis).

It has done 130k and...

Thanks for the suggestions guys, The car is in the garage on Thursday to have an engine mount replaced so I will have a chat with my mechanic about it.

Much appreciated!

Goodyear all season tyres are now available in a size to fit my C5, specifically Goodyear Vector 4 Seasons 225/55 R17 101V XL. Unlike winter tyres they are designed to be left on all year.

Reviews seem to be good, has anyone fitted them and if so what did you think? Any noise or durability issues on dry roads?

Last post

We have not really had any frost yet, in fact ive not seen the temperature below 6 degress yet. Its because I havebought winter tyres, the northeast is safe from any frost or snow this winter :lol:

Seriously, I hope it does snow, I want to test out my cars boots!

Going by what my winter tyres are like, they seem excellent at these higher...
