LHM and O rings

by Duracell » 30 Sep 2009, 15:59

First post

I've just stripped my hydractive electrovalve and need a new O ring as the original is split. My main dealer can't help and although I've worked out what size I need, I have no idea about the compatability of the various o ring materials with LHM so trying to source one from a different source would be guesswork. Does anybody know what material...

Last post

I used one from a blister pack from the local car spares. As a test I dropped another in to a jar of LHM. 4 years later it's still good as new.

It's an HDi don't forget, and the rad is HUUUUUGE.... This weather it's likely that the thermostat is only just open, and hence bottom of the rad cold is not a surprise. If the temp is rock steady at 90 ish, and doesn't climb if you work it hard up hill, and the heater is warm, then I wouldn't worry about it.

Yes,

Once you've fitted relays, then higher output bulbs seems to be the only option remaining. I'll see how the relay installation performs on my car (fitted 1 relay on the dip circuit) before uprating the bulbs

I know, it is primitive question, but I did not find clear instruction for this.
From Hayness book I understand, that topping must to be provided in lower position. Do I understand correct? (in Xintia I did this in upper position).
Then, they recommend to use special tools to extract air from the system.
I have not it. Is Citrobix enough?
Thanks...

Ah! Your drawing does not agree with mine, the pump drawing is identical BUT Item 6 marked Air Intake IS NOT an air intake it is actually the main pump suction input and is so marked on my drawing, i.e should and does go to the bottom of the reservoir.

Brodit proclip mount for C5

First post

I have had a look at the various proclip mounts available from Brodit for my tomtom satnav. Has anyone fitted one of these to a C5 and which location would you advise?

Last post

I have an old Navman 530 and I have used it in loads of cars including a C5 and it has never had a problem in obtaining a Sat. fix.

IMO Brodit clips are best.. remember, if you need reading glasses you don't want to have the satnav positioned so you have to keep putting your glasses on or to far away that you can't see it.

If your sunergie has the ole XUD TD Engine, check your Injector leak off pipes, these can get quite brittle from heat, and split, it may split enough to let air in and allow draining, but not enough to allow diesel to seep out..

Citroen ZX

Hi All

I have just bought a Citroen ZX 1.9 Diesel car.

I have a couple of questions really!

First, the brakes don't seem quite as good as I think they should be and was wondering if there might be something wrong with them although it did pass an MOT in July! They just don't seem to bring me to a stop all that quickly (my other car has...

Last post

If you've got a single brake piston with sliding calipers then pulling to the left could be caused by the sliding calipers on the front left not sliding properly. There are two metal shims/bolts on which the caliper slides and four rubber gaiters. Check the gaiters. If they've split then the caliper slide might seize and this usually causes one...

c5 estate rearwindow problem

by john alexander » 01 Sep 2009, 12:53

First post

Hi just found a guy on ebay selling a solution to the rear window opening problem on c5 estates , do we have an expert on here who knows how to do it. Think it must bypass HRW circuit. Regards John.

Last post

HI window now opens , I used the info supplied but the two smaller torx bolts had to be drilled out as the caged nuts had rusted to the bolts (never rains etc).The only thing I changed was I used superglue to stick the wire to the inside of the window, much less obvious. When I figure out how to post pics I will add them. many thanks to simon 99...

It was the bit about any colour because the guy is a panel repairer or something that made it look plausable, mind you ive been teasing the last two boys at work with sky hooks and the like, turns out whilst watching a demo vid about pc based oscilloscopes held by a mechanic i found that not only are sky hooks real but the guy uses them :shock:

Leaking Power Steering Pump - Citroen Xantia

1998 Xantia 19TD XUD

Hello all, noticed a pool of oil last night under the car, smelt it and it defiantly wasn't engine.. turns out the power steering pump is leaking from the top.

It appears to be leaking from between the pump and where the case splits by the pulley, I can't guarantee that though....

Last post

I've got the biggest size they said out of the two belts. Appears they must have the wrong info on their system for my car. mine is a 1750

On another note, I washed down the old belt and have added it on for a quick test. FIred it up, left it for 2 minutes then did up the 12mm screw, she leveled out and that was that. However there was a little...

Just wanted to say congratulations to my Xantia for hitting the big 300 000 (km) !!

Ive seen HDi cars with over 350K miles and been told of them with more than that, so im sure if looked after they go and go.

My C5 has almost 117K miles and perfroms like a new car, no smoke, never uses oil or coolent, just superb. Very economical too.

Although im getting used to the 2.1TD Xm now, which is every bit as good to drive as the...

C5 Central Locking problem

by tictac77 » 08 Aug 2009, 15:59

First post

remote key is not working but I have been able to lock the car with the key but today that has stopped working. when i ,lock the car with the key the front doors lock but the back ones don't. The boot will not open either
Does anyone have any experience of this and how to solve as I currently cant leave the vehicle

Last post

Hi all

Thanks guys ive found it :)

The prob with the central locking is the keyfob the buttons are missing and i can operate the micro switch on the big locking button but not on the small opening button (it worked with a pen) so i need a new key fob case with buttons

Think I need to replace the nearside ball joint which as far as I can see is the same item for all three cars. There seem to be several different manufactures of these out there with prices ranging from about £8.00 each to £23.00 Question which is the best QH? FAI? or who?

Today my loveable car developed a new problem (one of many since purchasing the car a couple of months ago) . A sort of growling/ tapping noise started which seems to be coming from the engine area. It hasn't hindered the power output but is quite a noticeable noise and now the powersteering does not seem to be working properly.

Any ideas??

thanks for your responses, it still wasnt right so took it to local cirtroen and it turns out the problem was the drive belt and double pulley so couple of hundred quid but its all good now :)

Well there is a good chance I have found a solution to one prob on the Xantia , so I might as well throw this one into the forum too !!

Rear suspension.
It has a mind of it's own. Sometimes it goes hard , like the spheres have failed , but then it can be normal ! This is an exclusive spec car so it has the suspension switch for comfort or sport...
