I have run hydropnumatics continually since the CX, used to do diesel conversions before that but once I had driven a CX25 DTR Safari I didn't see the necessity anymore. I used them for work for many years covering 30,000 miles some years. Still have one XM which I am hoping to get back on the road shortly. I don't think the C5 is as nice to drive...

You take the top off - there are 3 (long) screws along the front edge (4mm allen IIRC). Depending on access to the top of the engine, you might need to remove some of the trim / deadening above it. There are some clips along the back of the lid that need the lid to be wiggled to finally free it. If the fuel filter has not been changed in the last...

My understanding of the problem regarding the 1.6 is the small filter that fits inside the turbo pipe, this becomes blocked & the turbo fails, get that pipe removed & get the filter out & the turbo will then be fine. Stupid design imho.
