C5 Facelift: Noisy hinges on rear doors

Hi there

Just wondering if any other C5 owners had encountered noisy (worse than a squeak not as bad as a grating noise!!) hinges on both the rear doors (Mine's a 2007 1.6 Hdi VTR).

Definitely have the rear trailing arm bushes checked by someone who knows what they are looking at.

LHM Leak

Hi Guys, i couldn't find where exactly it's coming from but it's dripping on the gear box, also on the rear height corrector there was a bit of green!, Thanks

On an RHD car, Vertvega, the pinion valve won't leak onto the gearbox as it's on the other side! On an LHD car it most certainly would of course. Ref, I'm assuming yours is RHD but if it's LHD then the pinion valve would be a good starting point as VertVega says...

Back to my sinking issue

First post

Hi all, I have an anti-sink that is sinking, been told by some on here that it is the valve... Been trawling thru cars service history, no mention of a LHM change...

Would it be advisable to change this and see if the issue cures itself? (thinking gunk in valves etc)

Last post

Allways a good idea to flush the system before changing any bits, as for one this can cure some problems and second, when you put the clean bits on, they are not being fitted to a dirty system.

Hi,

Last Friday evening after driving about 200 miles and with 30 miles to go my Xantia 2.0 16V (W reg) suddenly overheated. I stopped immediately the red light came on and found the top radiator hose had blown off. After about an hour and a half the hose was reattached and the radiator filled. Cranking the engine produced a fountain from the...

Update - the engine is back together and so far looking promising. The temperature is stable and there is no evidence of the cooling system pressurising.

Unfortunately there is steam coming off the radiator, so I guess it was damaged by the pressure. More expense. javascript:emoticon(':(')

You can test the alternator clutch pulley using a thin screwdriver.

You need to insert the screwdriver blade through the vent holes at the back of the alternator (non pulley end) and try to make the fan rotate.

If the clutch pulley is working the fan will be stiff in one direction but should rotate in the other.

It would need removal, as I'm pretty certain the case has to be opened.

Citroen ZX - Drubbing Noise & Brake Wear Sensors

by geb042 » 02 Mar 2011, 23:55

First post

Hi - car is a '95 ZX 1.9D hatchback.

First problem is that, under accelleration at around 20- 30 mph there is a drubbing noise coming from underneath the front offside when steering the car to the right, such as going around large roundabouts. The wheel bearings are fine, the CV boots are fine, and there is no noticeable play in the driveshaft...

Last post

Have a look at:-

gsfcarparts.com

I think they do reconditioned driveshafts, with a surcharge until you take the old one back. I'm not sure if they sell new ones. On the website, it does mention GKN, but you'd be safer ringing them to be sure. Mail order from the website/by phone, and they've got shops around the country as well.

c3 hdi won't start.....suspected fuel problems

hi we've been having problems with my wife car lately (various problems from failed mot to leaky gearbox) but this one is giving me a major headache

it has been taking a little bit more to kick over every morning lately but now it just won't start,it feels very similar to a problem to when the stop solenoid on my van went,it feels like it wants...

The 2002-2004 C3 1.4 16V HDi uses the Delphi system - DV4TED4.

The 8V version, which is all I think was available from 2005 onwards as well as being an option prior to that, uses the Bosch system.

So they probably have taken it from the 8V engine. I can't see that the Bosch pump would work in place of the Delphi one, so personally I'd send the...

MOT due soon....

First post

Is there anything in particular about C5's to look out for?

I did have a look underneath the car while on ramps in Oct and notice one of the rams looked leaky. I believe this is normal tho? The car rides fine and goes up n down ok and the ride seems good.

Its a 1.8VTR (although to be precise its actually a 1.7 being 1749.)

all lights working ok...

Citroen parts - cheaper than the other car makes?

by eurotrotter » 13 Mar 2011, 09:43

First post

hey gang

just wondering if anyone knows from their own experience whether Citroen parts are cheaper than vw or any other major brand?

i heard that pug and fiat have the cheapest parts of all car manufacturers, just wondering if anyone can confirm this?

its just i need to get new discs at the front and new shcoks all round, and just wondering...

Last post

I own both a Citroën and a VW and I can tell you that main dealer Citroën parts are no cheaper than VW, and in most cases are eye-wateringly expensive.

I find this strange when the robustness of the Citroën (particularly body and interior) is inferior to the VW.

I recently had to buy a new heater control unit for my ZX - £155 for what was...

C8 injector coding

by Simon99 » 15 Mar 2011, 22:26

First post

Hi, recently been repairing a 2005 C8 2.2hdi with broken cambelt. Unfortunately, to do this had to destroy all 4 injectors in the process. :twisted: (Sheared heads off and drilled out shafts!!!)
All rebuilt now with new rocker arms and just fitted some used injectors from a 2003 C5 2.2hdi. The engine will now start but runs rough and lacks power....

Last post

Thanks for the reply. At least saves the purchase of a Lexia for the time being. The engine was out the vehicle when I put the head back on so took my time making sure the cam chain was all set up correctly with marks on chain aligning to marks on sprockets. Will have a go at a leak off test tomorrow.
Thanks.

C5 S1 Central Locking

by birksy » 10 Mar 2011, 15:45

First post

My CL is playing up at the mo.

Nothing I can't live with but on unlocking there is a 1-2 second delay before the car will lock itself. Sometimes it locks the car up on closing the door and getting out (not left keys in yet.)

Sometimes when it's not doing that it will lock itself on driving away.

Wet weather seems to be an issue as it's worse...

Last post

Spoke too soon. The car is now locking with the other fob and its all over the place. Locks when you shut the door on exit or locks as your driving (*this appears random) or just works as normal. Padlock lights up on each occasion and indicators light up.

Is this all controlled through the BSI? I had a 406 previously (to Mondeo) which developed...

Xantia 2.1 TD Temperature

by i3 » 14 Feb 2011, 22:32

First post

Hey all,
What temperature should my 2.1 TD sit at? because usually on other cars, i noticed that the temp needle sits in the middle, which is usually 90, but on this car, the middle is 80.
...and, at what temperature should the fan switch on?
thanks

Last post

I would be inclined to got for the hotter one but it doesn't really make a lot of difference as most diesels are inclined to run below thermostat opening temperature in very cold weather, unless you drive them very hard.

maybe your MOT certificate's can be used as proof of the leap in mileage?
