It's a sealed unit and not amenable to being opened at all :(

It's best replaced. Just be aware it has two delivery ports, one for the front and one for the rear. It runs one way to wash the front and runs in reverse to wash the rear screen.

I would expect it's a standard enough device used across a range of PSA vehicles.

Xantia rear brake

by xf1ref » 06 Jul 2014, 11:42

First post

Hello all,
What is the role for the sheet metal from xantia rear brake pads? Two year ago I cleaned the calipers for oxide and I mounted the new pads without those sheet metal . After some time I decided to put back the sheet metal and yesterday when I checked the brake pads were worn unequal on lenght...I think because of those sheet metal.
And a...

Last post

I've seen one of the four shims mounted upside down on a previous Xantia of mine when I bought it - and that one pad had unusual wear compared to the other three such that the pad surface was no where near parallel to the backing plate. So the shim being upside down definitely affects the wear pattern of the pad.

The leading edge of the pad...

EXECELLENT!! That's that solved....

Next, disconnect battery, and leave disconnected for at least 2 hours , this will allow the bis to reconfigure when you reconnect the battery.

Once the time has elapsed, reconnect the battery and use the key fob to secure the car and I hen unlock it again (if you have a second fob, then use this to reopen the...

I have in my posession a shiney new cam belt for the V6. Having had a look at the procedure in DocBackup there are several special tools mentioned. Are these essential for doing the job or can I get away with more general tools? Alternatively, does anyone have the correct tools for hire?

Belt tension is stated to be not below 70 or above 100 SEEM...

Last post

Well as mentioned previously there are a few jobs on the list to get it up to scratch, front pads and maybe discs is one of them. Discs aren't too worn but might change them with matching pads anyway along with the fluid and regrease of the calipers which will probably improve things somewhat.

Hi all,

I just replace the oil after about 40,000 km and do nothing else.
When the gearbox fails, the car will go for wrecking.

That cover is now looking tired, was thinking of getting another cover like a grey and wood effect one but was wondering what steering wheels would fit my car?

So far so good! :) Also, we thought for ages that there was a problem with the drive belt tensioner, as whenever we turn heater/ A/C on, there was a terrible screeching, which would promptly go when heater/...

I have booked an MOT at Citroen in Inverness.
Mainly because if something needs doing, there is a fair chance that it would be under warranty.
I've also asked them to change the brake fluid. I'm not sure on this . Citroen service book say's it should be changed every two years.Now in 46 years of owning cars, I have NEVER had brake fluid changed,...

Last post

Not sure if leaking struts warrant changing both sides really. Not like steel springs, although I don't see why springs should be changed as a pair either. They are subject to different loads throughout their life span . That said, I had a look at a website that quoted £380 for a new strut, plus fitting. :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: ....

Three niggly electronic faults still to trace on the C5.

One is the operation of the rear windows which is kind of random. They mostly work from their own switches but sometimes not. The front drivers door switches for the rears rarely have any effect and sometime work back to front so up is down and down is up :roll: On occasion, the rear...
