Heater blower on Fiat Ulysee

Right, I'm asking this here as the Fiat is practically the same as the Citroen Synergie.

The blower isn't working at all. Is this likely to be ignition contacts or the transistors? I've searched for the transistors on the forum as I recall someone posting a sort of how to for them.

Thanks

It is not engine speed related and it still makes the noise out of gear.
It is more prominent on a right hand bend but is still noticeable on straight especially decellerating (probably due to less engine noise).

When I did my rear spheres before I found out that it would be easier to pressurise the system before loosening them (before I joined the FCF this!) I used two beefy chain wrenches, one around the sphere itself and the other around the bracket. Holding one and whacking the other.

Friend has a C15D 2001 1868cc. It's become a very poor starter,He's replaced the battery,starter motor and glow plugs but to no avail. Are these engines bad for the valves closing up and losing compression?

Once it has started,it will start all day long no problems there.

the part of the engine next to (or connected to ) the bottom pulley of my HDi 90??

This seems to be leaking a fair bit of LHM onto the road

The actual pump itself with all the pipes and things seems fine. There is no contamination onto the alternator but the right hand suspension fixtures are absolutely filthy

Oh and whats the best way to...

Xantia rear ABS sensor

by firstrebel » 10 Mar 2010, 16:41

First post

Did a quick search and could not find any info on this so I hope I am not duplicating.

The rear o/s ABS sensor had gone on my 1997 Xantia SX TD. I read up in TBOL on how to do it. Simplz. Eh!! Non!!!!

First off the old sensor was well and truly stuck in, so I had to take the disc off to attack it from that side. I had to annihilate it to get it...

Last post

The BOL, well, disregard most of its prcedure! They work on a 2 year old car with hardly any miles or rust on them..

You can also drop the subframe on the appropiate side to get at the cables above the subframe! This then makes it even easyer!

No need to disconnect the exhaust, or cross bar, just have the car supported, jack under the subframe,...

Hi guys... need help with Xantia clutch - (but not the clip)

by seany87 » 11 Mar 2010, 00:45

First post

I have an X reg HDi Xantia, its done 160k miles

Just spent 150 on new front discs, pads and brake hoses to ensure it passes its MOT which is frankly 150 quid I haven't got.

Since it came back from the garage ive noticed that instead of the usual mildly heavy clutch operation, for 95% of the time when pressing in the clutch pedal I have about 2...

Last post

Auto adjusting cables were the silly thing.
I much prefer manual adjusting to auto or hydraulic.
It means I can have the bite point where I want it, ie down near the floor and a pedal that isn't trying to shake hands with the dashboard.

Xantia 110 Hdi - funny noise

by mbunting » 12 Mar 2002, 02:38

First post

It could be the pressure regulator in the hydraulics system, although this makes a sound that I can best describe as posh slurping . On the other hand, it could also be the fuel pump, the combination of common rail and electronics means that these are electical, rather than run from the cam belt, and thus are independant of engine speed.
Just a...

Have a buzzing on my C5 up at the right rear of the engine near the brake reservoir. It is one of the black circular thingies with wires (technical I know) I used a screwdriver on it to my lug to confirm it. Try there.

Symptoms are vibration when braking and vibration above 60mph to 80mph.

The wheels have been balanced as well

When i bought the car it had rusty discs so i swapped them over and the vibration went away for about 100 miles, then it came back again. So on the advice of previous owner i took...

Hi all,

I think I've made a stupid mistake when putting back the steering wheel and getting the Air Bag electrical Slip Ring one revolution our of sync.
At first, all appeared fine after putting the steering wheel back on - until taking the steering to one end of the rack and then the AirBag light came flashing on, immediately. :oops:
Had I got...

Last post

As the 10 year airbag limit was about to kick in for Mk2 XM's (2005) Citroen issued the same 5 year life extension as the Pug one mentioned.
Seems to be general for all PSA cars.
Hopefully they are still life testing the original airbags so perhaps we get another 5 years life added sometime this year.

Xantia HDI , centre exhaust section identification ?

by HDI » 02 Mar 2010, 21:26

First post

Need to get a new exhaust centre section but can't seem to find the correct type on ebay !
The one fitted to the car has a centre silencer box but the ones for HDI's on ebay are just a simple pipe ! The ones listed with a centre box are for 2.0 petrols , had mine been fitted with one of these in the past by mistake ?

Last post

Sorted this today , bought a Bosal repair section from a local motor factor.
Removed the old centre pipe which includes a silencer and was the original Citroen part !! Cut off the pipe at the silencer box that connects to the cat which is then used to couple to the new repair section. This does not have a centre box. All installed like a breeze :)...

As some of you may know, I have a disabled mum so in the family we have a wheelchair converted Citroen C8 which is used very often and gets a biblical mileage added every few days lol.

The front tyres and the rears had worn down to the markers.

To be fair im quite pleased, they may be quiet and long lasting, but wet grip was more than lacking,...

:lol: Sorry, only downside to owning a C6, perhaps?

Or, you could go with Falkens at £220 a pair fitted. :) Feel any better? :roll:
I recently fitted a pair of Falken ZE912s to the front of my Xantia V6. I am a bit disappointed. They seem (under enthusiastic cornering) to understeer more than the Michelin Energys, not sure if the sidewalls are...

On Friday I bought a couple of 'dog-bone' connectors (for the height adjuster units) from the local Citroen stealers. I was charged about £5.60 (can't remember exactly) for the pair - nearly twice what I was expecting.

Is this what other people have paid recently?

As I was passing, and to go anywhere else would have cost me a couple of quid in...

Hi i have oil in expansion tank of 1.9td xantia.
Starts and runs fine. no leaks.
Expansion tank becomes pressureised when running.

Have taken oil cooler pipes off thinking it could be a faulty oil cooler.
But no oil emerges when running.

Could it still be a faulty cooler.
Could it be air in the system
Or is it the head?

C3 diesel air in fuel line

by TheDoc » 10 Mar 2010, 15:38

Hi all

I have a C3 diesel that seems to be letting in air into the fuel line.

I can clear it by using the hand primer that the C3 has and watching the fuel then come through before starting the car.

I am wondering what is causing it in the first place and how easy it will be to resolve

Thanks in advance

c5 2.0 HDI FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR

by JOHNR8195 » 07 Mar 2010, 18:55

First post

Hi, My c5 hdi is in limp mode and the engine light is on. The fault code is P1166 fuel pressure sensor . I have been told that the sensors are not always the problem. Has anyone got any advice please, these sensors are £150 and might not actually cure the fault!

Last post

Also, most hdi's have got a modified 6 extra piece of loom fitted that can cause problems, so when you unplug the rail sensor connector, follow it down another 6 and you will likely find another plug and socket that you need to check, i have had to cut the extra connector out on my old car and solder it together because of a dodgey joint there
