These changes are to ensure stricter compliance with RFC2369 and RFC8058 (which are the internet standards for such things), there are also some additions for Microsoft-specific rules which are...

First post

We cannot currently deliver notification or registration emails to users with @outlook.com an @hotmail.com email addresses.

This is due to Microsoft having designated our server as being a junk mail source, apparently because some users have been moving our notification emails to their 'junk' folders.

There appears to be nothing that we can do...

Finally, after a month of sending repeated support requests to Microsoft, and spending quite a bit of time researching and rewriting some of the forum software to be more RFC compliant, we have been advised that Microsoft are no longer blocking our emails.

Note that in the meantime, to reduce the quantity of bounced emails, we have adjusted the...

Sounds like air ingress in the fuel system, has the filter been changed lately? If not that would be the first port of call, otherwise check all the connections and if it has a Bosch pump, particularly the injector leak off pipes.

Running out of fuel will post a fault because the fuel pressure will drop as there's no fuel to pump! This can be caused by other things besides running out of fuel of course.

1996 1.9 TD Xantia Bosch IP

Hi, I've started this thread as I was just wondering where would be the best place to tap into the coolant lines if I wanted to have an axillary coolant feed for the purposes of supplying heat?

'Best' for me would be quickest, simplest and cheapest :p

All the coolant hoses look rather hidden.

I was thinking at the...

:) I like your thoughts on that stat mod. You're going to get me pondering that one now! :/

Thanks for the fast response on the fuel return question.

zx speedo rev counter etc

by xantia sx auto » 06 Feb 2011, 22:16

Hi Guys
Today I bought another zx it's a k reg td manual and the speedo, rev counter and temp guage are not working, I see a few people have had speedo problems but is there something common that makes them all go? i'm hoping it's just a loiose connection somewhere of a fuse, or is it something different? my other zx speedo needle wobbles at about...

Last post

You should be able to feel for it, it stops at the top of the bellhousing. It is higher up than the speedo sensor.

ZX pollen filter?

by RobinMasters » 08 Feb 2011, 23:35

First post

Just looking at service parts on ECP, and they list a pollen filter for my car. Does a non-air-conditioned ZX even have one, and if so where is it?

The BOL is no help :s

Last post

This might be similar to 306's (which never ever had a pollen filter) unless it was LHD as there was then a bit of sensible space for it.

Heater Blower Inoperative

by P616VKX » 05 Feb 2011, 20:33

Hi guys,

I know S1 Citroen Xantia's heater units are a common problem on these models, however, mine has just randomly packed up after 5 days of ownership. It's worked perfectly since I got it, with the Auto setting working, along with all speeds on the slider, however, this morning, I realised it wasn't working, along with the engine temperature...

Last post

Excellent Stuart, I was just about to offer full wiring and harness diagrams to help you too...

:D

I'm a complete electro-phobe... Lol!

I'm quite glad, although, I can't help thinking that the wire was disconnected for a reason. But for the time being, it's working. So it's all gravy!

lexia help

by boristhespie » 07 Feb 2011, 17:26

First post

tried lexia in c5 hdi for first time but kept getting unable to communicate with ecu.

I checked all connections were okay.

I used sequence in instruction printout that cam with device.

Any hints

ps. battery is lowish on charge.

Last post

Try it with the engine running, and just hit Enter when it prompts you to turn the ignition off and on. That will eliminate the flat battery as the cause.

shuddering at tickover

by johntom » 07 Feb 2011, 23:33

First post

Hi
my 2004 2.0 hdi has developed a juddering/vibration when started first thing in a morning. The rev counter doesnt fluctuate but the whole car feels as though it is shuddering. This happens sometimes at junctions during stop/start driving, but is always there first start of the day. I have noticed that the digital temperature gauge in the...

Last post

Hi
yes i realised that the rings were oil not temperature soon after posting, then felt a bit stupid !

I have tried a bottle of injection cleaner but no difference?

I noticed that the engine was actually moving front to back when the car was juddering. If it was an engine mount wouldn't it do it all the time ?

ZX Back Box Part Number - Is it original?

by Rhothgar » 06 Feb 2011, 18:43

First post

Hi all. Hope you're all having a great weekend so far.

I decided to do a bit of tinkering on my other half's ZX yesterday. Had to change the rear NS flexible brake hose with the spring on it.

Her car, I should say, is a 1.9TD SX.

I took off the back box for better access to the uppermost joint of the brake hose and it has the letters PSA 4092...

OK paul, thanks for that, I will bear it in mind for future reference.

C5 drive shaft woes

by Paul-R » 05 Feb 2011, 17:09

First post

I made an abortive attempt to change the right hand drive shaft this morning. Abortive because despite me telling the scrapyard that the 90bhp C5 had a different gearbox they thought they knew better.

Anyway, enough of my moan. I got my money back and then found another scrappy who had the correct shaft.

At times like that, working in the rain...

Last post

Round trip of over 200 km with three passengers today.
The kerbside rear passenger said it wobbled from under where she sat, both under load and when backing off.
Looks like two faults now, and I still suspect the outer joint because the inner one shouldn’t know about slight veering at speed.

It became very rattly which i thought to be an injector? and then lost power and stopped. On trying to restart it, the battery was also dead - coincidence???? :x

I think Chris (Citroenmad) is selling his 2004 C5 VTR, knowing him it will be in excellent condition.

Looking at the thread it might have gone now, but worth sending him a message, heres the for sale thread.

C5 estate rear glass opening switch

Hi
does anyone know of a source for a new micro switch for the rear opening glass (the little switch under the rear wiper) on a 2004 C5 estate ?

Last post

Hi
it's definitely the switch. I rang the local dealer a few weeks ago, i'm sure they wanted around £30 for the tiny microswitch so i didn't bother ! Just wondered if someone had found an alternative source for the same thing.

Good evening all, first post that may help some of you.

We own a 2005 c3 1.4hdi 16v which has been an excellent car bar one fault.

It started developing intermittent boost which from reading the forums a few people have experienced. This often meant you had no boost or full which was somewhat tiring.

After several months of fault finding as no...

just been looking to change all my discs and pads all round

when i put my reg in most car databases pick it up fine but im finding there are 2 variations in front discs

there is a 283mm twin vent and a slightly bigger 288mm twin vent, how do you tell which is on my car without a full strip down :(

cheers

Last post

just ordered the front and back discs and front and back pads
2 x mintex brake box sets
£121 all in delivered, cant complain at that

there are some sets on the bay for £90 all in but not sure on quality and since the wife does 60 miles a day up and down the motorway its not worth the risk

hoping they arent a total pig to do now :O
