Brief forum outage expected Tuesday 21/05/2019 - Completed

by xantia_v6 » 19 May 2019, 15:41 » in Forum News, Announcements and Issues

First post

Our hosting provider is installing some security updates, and will be taking our server off-line for a short period some time on Tuesday.

They are not giving a scheduled time, so it will happen when it happens...

This site should restart itself cleanly after the reboot.

An XM Post for a Change - STRUT Top Check

by citroenxm » 22 Jan 2011, 21:59

First post

Hi All.. ( I shall repeat this on Club XM.com, when it comes back on, and Club-xm.co.uk)

Last year I aquired a 2.1 SEd Manual XM, which had what looked like poor strut tops.

This is a start to proove and show that strut top condition on the TOP is NOT important what so ever, and its the underside that needs checking...

My 2.1 has been sitting...

Carrier delivered the 7 refurbished XM strut heads late this afternoon.

Hello, I am currently working on a 2005 (older shape) Suzuki Grand Vitara with the PSA HDi engine, code DWW 16v.

New tyres or Part worn?

First post

Having a C5 that goes through front tyres was wondering about renewing the front ones (budget tyres start at £40/each fitted) or partworn with about 5mm of tread for £30 the pair fitted.

Any thoughts on the pro's and cons of fitting part worn?

Last post

I don't know what model of Uniroyals they were, other than being Euro part-worns and German made. A basic non-directional tread of smallish blocks.

One advantage of driving a lot of miles, is tyres aren't on for that long so a bad choice disappears soon enough. I chew through front tyres, and always shift the rears forward.

Yep, you pull the gaiters down. They can be a bugger to get back. Clean and lubricate with LHM and kind of screw them back on.

Well, had a look at it today and it seems the actual cable to the flap that let's air into the cabin is ok, but the concentric mechanism on the cam of the fan switch isn't working properly. Looks like a new control panel may be needed.

Wheel bearing only lasted 2000 miles!!

I just wondered what you guys think of this.

Our Xsara had its nearside wheel bearing replaced ealier this year, April.

Last post

Agree to from me.

I could see the bearing failing in a short time if the mechanic in question used 'questionable' methods during the installation of the new bearing, say by using a big hammer and violence rather than a hydraulic press.

Otherwise, unless there was a manufacturing fault it's hard to see otherwise how a bearing could fail in that...

Hi all,
My new (to me) C5 has developed a strange quirk, using the front windscreen washer will active the rear washer, and vice versa, its most distracting to try and wash the rear screen and have the front washers kick in. Not a major issue at all, but something I'd like to address.

As this is a multiplex (correct term?) car where does one...

Last post

I haven't used it for years, but the Citroën-branded screenwash (Stop-Clair?) used to form a gritty precipitate with some types of water, which would jam the pump and block the jets.

This is the back of my Xantia 96 Estate after it was rear-ended. The Toyota was totaled. Got to love how these cars are built.

Since the Toyota drove into the back of your car, I'd be inclined to get it professionally inspected. Inside the rear bumper is a load of energy absorbing glass fibre structure, I'd expect this to have been damaged, you'll have to remove the rear bumper to inspect it. If it has been damaged, it's done its job in absorbing energy and protecting the...

Water in rear footwells

by lesliebear » 17 Jan 2011, 20:59

First post

Hi Can anyone point me to a section regarding water in the rear footwells on a Xantia Estate or was this an added extra. Didn't mention footspa in the owners handbook. Tried searching forums but can't find anything.

Last post

I had two times rear footwells full of water, both times it was the rear right side :roll:

- First time it was the tailgate membrane lower part leaking
- Second time it was the sealant over the rear door

Membrane leak has been going on secretly for a long time, since it almost spoiled the carpet completely.

2.0Hdi exclusive heater fan control

by Edhertz » 14 Jan 2011, 14:45

First post

I am posting this in the hope that someone has come across this problem. The heater fan is running at high and cannot be controlled by means of the slider. I have checked the mechanical linkage inside the unit and everything is moving freely with no obvious signs of overheating on the viewable circuits. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Thanks Toby for reply. Job sorted, cost me a stiff neck and a pair of 30A power transistors: RS Stock No. 668-1502.

Face full of LHM and a loud bang? :?

I'm always nervous of doing the rears and they're very very very tight :evil:

I just don't want a repeat of what happened the last time,there was still pressure in the sphere and it was like a gun shot of...

Should the rears last longer than the fronts? :-k

I take it you are referring to the outside temperature sensor, these all seem to go faulty with time, it is located in the bottom of the n/s mirror, not to expensive, I would think probably about £20.00 now

C5 windows

I have a drivers side that wont do auto (passenger side does) and rear drivers side that drops goes up/down and whatever before closing after several attempts. I've taped over the rear window switches to save me catching them by accident.

Is this a matter of resetting the ecu and following the BSI reboot?

There is one good thing about wind up windows, very little to go wrong!
