It could be worth considering changing the gearbox oil. It isn't difficult to do. You will need 2L of Total BV 75W80 oil (you can get it from Citroen, about £15), and the gearbox takes 1.8L. Filling the box is best done through the reverse switch hole. Do make sure to get the right oil, as some gearboxes won't be happy with anything else.

Just notice from your post that the travel is different, so these parts are not interchangeable

Hi All,

I've had a dig through the forum, but I've not managed to find anyone with the same issue as I have on my dispatch - its a 2000 reg 1.9 XUD.

The temp gauge on the dash is constantly off the hot end of the scale, even with the ignition off, although the little red warning light does come on with the ignition, and extinguishes when the...

The fans are run from a separate sender that sits in the rad - I pulled that one and tested it last night, that was also when I figured out there's more than one temp sender on the unit.

As you say, that one is open under 90 odd degress, and completes the circuit above.

Long as it just drives the gauge and its not a feed to the ECU i'll run a...

Ok, got resistance readings from the abs sensors.

Rear right 1060 ohms
Rear left 1604 ohms
Front right 1145 ohms
Front left 1097 ohms
Rear left 1604 ohms would be the conflicting value, causing the ABS light.

The valve is not too difficult to remove, but it's well worth investing in a set of the special pliers to release the clips, they are easily damaged, and very hard to reuse if you bend them even slightly.

The mk2's still have batteries in the sensors, citroen estimate the battery life at 10 years.
I assume the animal chips & transponder chips don't need batteries because the range is so short, not usually more than an inch, the wheel transmitters are about a foot & a half away so I imagine they would still need a power supply.
