Xantia Forte HDI 2000 Sphere

by billlew » 26 Jan 2010, 01:23

First post

I have been quoted by my local Citroen Garage, £102 plus VAT (not fitted) for the front centre accumulator sphere, this seems excessive. Any comments please.
Are the sphere's interchangeable? Does anywhere do replica parts?

I've read the thread on changing the sphere.

Any help/advice/where to get one would be much appreciated

Last post

Still don't know the difference between the suspension ones and the centre one.

Corner/suspension spheres have a valve/damper and different centre hole/orifice sizes (Dependent on which Citroen model there for) also the pressure/volume capacities can vary !
The Hydractive ones (the centre/middle ones) and Accumulator spheres do not have the...

towbar fitting

by casperdog2 » 26 Jan 2010, 04:21

First post

Ive just bought a towbar off ebay whats the best way to fit it and is there anything that I should look out for

cheers chaps :)

Last post

I fitted a Towsure towbar to my S1 TD hatchback couple of years back. Found I had to remove the spare wheel carrier and alter it's shape so as to clear the towbar right at the back end, but it was a bit awkward lowering the carrier to remove the spare. Also, whilst the old very worn spare slotted snugly into the carrier, I now have a spare with...

Water leak

First post

When I bought the Xantia, it had a small water leak, we did 750 miles over Christmas (went to IKEA twice!!!!) without having to top up.

Over the weekend, the leak seems to be worse, and over the last 2 days I've poured 15 ltrs of fluid in, 2x 5ltrs of mixed coolant, but plain water only today.

Can't see anything coming out, so either it's a...

Last post

Turned out in the end that ny water leak was the water pump after all. the bearing had failed completely, which was allowing the cam belt to rub on the block due to the amount of movement in the pulley.

Easy job in the end.

Rear anti-roll bar on xantia S2 estates???

by falling-out-with-my-car » 26 Jan 2010, 11:48

First post

Hi,

I have recently had some work done on my Citroen Xantia 1.9 TD SX Estate.

whilst this work was being carried out said mechanic noticed that the rear anti roll bar was curved upwards in the middle towards the centre sphere.
because access with a chain wrench was difficult the anti-roll bar was straightened.
I am wondering if this has had an...

From memory, mine is straight across. Easy enough to have a look in daylight!

Maybe a jacking mishap bent yours?

Hydractive electrovalves

by Toby_HDi » 24 Jan 2010, 20:27

First post

Many thanks to DickieG for taking a look at my Activa yesterday afternoon, hope I didn't take up too much of your time.

I'm popping this here as it's not solely Activa specific though I'm sure there are some differences. If its not appropriate I'll move it to the Activa area.

Spheres were tested and some found to flat, one or two were ruptured....

Last post

Lexia diagnosed the rear Hydractive valve as having a permanent fault which will not clear, the ECU therefore reverts to its default state of firm suspension as a faulty electrovalve is determined as a serious fault. Fitting three additional diodes made no difference (logged fault still wouldn't clear after fitting the diodes) when opening a door...

V6 Xantia auto fluid. Can you tell new from old?

Been changed twice now. I will change a third time then take a sample. Box is going lovely and whisper quiet.

Last post

Ah ...that`s a good pic of cooler. It also looks like a great place to tap in and out for a proper transmission flush should I ever feel like splashing out on the Esso again :shock: Or is that just the water lines we see? Where are the ATF feeds?.

Possibly, or it could be rust flakes.
Cassy's was rather unpleasant and nearly totally blocked, some others I've seen pictures of look like they've got mould or half the garden stuck in them.
It's amazing what can get into the tank over the years!

With the warmer weather, start running on at least 50% SVO and it will help clear out the gunk to be...

fast road brake pads on a xantia

by citrov6 » 24 Jan 2010, 20:21

First post

Put these on about a month ago, black diamond predator fast road pads and thought I would just comment on them for anyone considering them.

Firstly I was prompted by a lot of brake fade on track days to think about giving them ago since the xantia is a fairly heavy car and border line enough power to warrant these pads.

At motorway speeds they...

Last post

Could be air in the lines I'll have to bleed them. Could be that the alloys I have on them now have a lot of gaps and cool them back down again very fast, not sure, I will check though now that you mention yours are ok

They work well with standard discs because they are used on the road you want atleast one part of the system, the discs or pads...

On a related note, anyone know if I can get replacement track rod inner ball joint dust covers for PAS steering racks?

Is that the steering rack gaiter?
I'm not entirely certain that's what I'm after.

Apologies for the crudity of the drawing, illustrates what I'm after though.

The 3 faults you have may not be connected. I've just had to fix the heater fan on my 2000 Xantia. For the last week it has required a kick up the back side so to speak to get it going. Well a thump or kick on the carpet under passenger side dashboard where the fan is located. Had cooling fan problems in the passed due to the relays situated...
