Counter intuitively the ride on the car gets worse when these snubbers are worn out.

The reason is that when you accelerate the rear suspension tries to squat - without the snubber the suspension can fully bottom under acceleration which means you have no suspension travel left should you hit a bump. Also the excessive suspension movement causes...

C5 brake pads - with electric handbrake?

by Johnno » 13 Jun 2014, 20:46

First post

Hi there. I need to change the front pads on a '59 plate 2.2. It has the electric handbrake, with which I'm not familiar. Before I start tomorrow morning, what's the order of work with this model - anybody know?

Any advice gratefully received.

John.

2010 C5 auto Notchy Changing from Park

First post

My auto C5 has got very notchy of late coming out of park. Its never got stuck in park yet but I'm starting to get worried.

I've read various threads about this problem and the usual culprit seems to be a faulty relay. My question is : Does anyone know where this relay is? After spending hours hunting under the dash and behind the glovebox I...

Those dealers’ job is to find out when they’re asked to. :evil:
We can explore onclick= window.open(this.href);return false; to find out.

Berlingo - Rear Suspension Dropped

by jono_h » 14 Jun 2014, 11:42

First post

Morning All,

Just off out in the van this morning to be met with a clunk, and the rear suspension dropping.

I'm guessing it's torsion bar related - I've had a look, but both seem to be intact. Is it likely that one of them has twisted and skipped a spline or two, or is there something else to check.

Any tips for repairing, or should I just...

ABS Sensor - resistance range

by XantiaExclusiveHDI » 12 Jun 2014, 16:06

First post

Hi all :)

Just getting my Xantia ready for its MOT after a couple of years SORN. It will be up for sale soon.

The ABS light was illuminated - and turns out I had an open circuit front right sensor which I just replaced.

However the light is still illuminated. I just measured the resistances at the connector as follows:

FR (new): 1097 ?

Yes - had I not been aware that you needed to get the wheels moving to make the ABS CU happy I could have ended up replacing everything :lol:

Replaced the LHM today - removing and cleaning the reservoir/ filters in the process. A somewhat cathartic exercise in this weather - will bleed the brakes tomorrow to remove the stale LHM left in the...

Hi Guy's my first post. I took my car to this guy with a Lex... system to have my drl's enabled but the system pointed out this was not so on my model. 2009 c5 x7. It looks as if I shall have to hard wire them myself.

What do you think????? :?: :?: :?:

My 2010 C5 didn't have the DRL option in the instrument panel menu either. Followed these instructions in Diagbox to enable them and they now show up in the menu and work a treat.

Thanks to bobins for the info.

Are both parts related to the rear suspension? What part is the gaiter?

RHZ not pulling in Fuel Pump Relay

First post

There's a catch, I can't communicate with the BSI.

There's another catch - I don't want to spend forever on the car.

On the tachymetric relay, one coil pulls in just fine - but the other, which is grounded by internal switching of the ECU - isn't getting its required ground.

I'm thinking of using the functional side of the tachy relay, to...

I've worried at times about capacitative loops but that's probably irrelevant on a fairly rugged piece of kit.

I don't even know what that means but I have ran direct earths to injection ecu's with no problems, it can save ECUs when jump leads have been connected the wrong way around or when a live has been shorted on the ECU casing, usually...

I notice the Xantia likes temperatures above 10C.. much better starting, fuel consumption and suspension.
I seem to have a hesitation on starting, more like a burp, below 8 or 9C which has disappeared in the last couple of weeks ( above 10C) The fuel consumption is also heading the right way.. its been 55 over the winter .. last fill nearly 57 .....

Xsara Picasso cooling fan not running at high speed

by matjam » 10 Jun 2014, 08:59

First post

Hi All,

I'm hoping some kind soul can help me.

I have a 58 plate Xsara Picasso, 1.6 diesel.
Just recently it's been having problems with the air con, so it's had a new condenser fitted and a re-gas.

If the car is stationary on the drive and you switch on the air con, the compressor clutch clicks in, and the radiator cooling fan kicks in too....

Last post

Ok, here's an update.
I took it back to the garage. They got their charts out and they state that the amount of gas for a Xsara Picasso is 700g, which is what they'd put it.
The pressures looked ok.
In order to rule out the pressure problem, he's reduced the gas so that the system now has 450g in it, and we were going to so how that went and if it...

But it still starts with the original key... haven't changed the ignition lock yet.

It shouldn't do that should it?

That fault will be a broken wire behind or feed to the fuse box!! One if the feeds has broke in typical french cable.

had this one an s2 .. no heated rear screen. One of the main feeds from the large fuses in the engine bay had lost connection. A quick connection had It sorted..

LHM brake seals

First post

In an effort of looking at increased braking performance im wondering if normal Brake Fluid Compliant brake seals would last against LHM, or if they need to be specially rated?

Just trying to see if fitting other calipers would be an option, IE twin pot or 4 pots up front... Downside would be it would need parking in gear all the time! lol

Last post

Well the xm route is no good.

The 2.5 and v6 have the biggest front setup and they use a single pot caliper as well :(

Maybe what I think of doesn't exist in lhm land ;(
