Xantia 1.9 D n/a clutch question

Hi all
As you maybe aware im selling my 1.9n/a Xantia but i have been asked a few questions about it and im trying to be open and honest in the description so i need to put this over to people with more knowledge than me (must be 1000's on here :lol: :lol: )

Last post

It may well have an auto adjuster, in which case you cant change the take up position, if the clutch is light that's a fair indication that its not worn out. A fairly good clutch will have a distinct feel to it, as the pedal gets near the floor it will get lighter, try operating it stationary and see if that is so. Its quite normal to be able to...

Caliper Rewind tool - Xantia

by SLYTZD » 21 Jul 2009, 17:45

First post

Has anyone bought or use a Caliper Rewind Tool & where did you get it, price? I'm about to change my discs & pads not sure if the universal one from GSF (98741) will work on the Xantia?

Last post

Simon,

before I went through the rigmarol of buying a screw in tool I used the edge of a file but when it comes to your calipers refusing to move at about half way in you will desire a threaded screw in tool at some point.

have you got a wilco's automotive store nearby? they sell the laser tool for £11 with the right adapter.

regards Nigel.

The holes are small in the journal bearings, doesn't take much to block them up, or even going through the turbo could score the shaft/bearings then your in trouble.

Ask any turbo rebuilder & oil pressure probs/oil contamination is a key factor to turbo failure.

When it comes to testing the Activa anti-roll system whilst driving, you need to bear in mind that there are a couple of features to the system.

How do I describe the problem of the C5 Wheels not being centred to a tyre person so they can balance my wheels right?

Last post

The only positive thing about the tyres is they grip on corners really well. Others have felt as if they slide and jump round corners at speed, but not these.
They are Goodyear Optigrips.

I would not be surprised if the wheels are duff. They have hit kerbs that I know of, and they were far from perfect when I got the car.

Auto locking doors

by ataxidriver64 » 19 Jul 2009, 10:56

First post

Hi i have a 51 plate C5 and was wondering if i could have this feature, noticed later C5s have this but mine doesnt, would be handy being a taxi driver, i know people have had cruise retro fitted with very minimal parts and a spell on the old citroen computer, so does any one know if its possible?
Thanks ataxidriver64.

Sorry, couldn't say but a couple of the other guys with far more knowledge than me will be along sooner or later and may be able to say definitively.

Welcome to the forums, by the way :D
Ok thanks and thanks for the welcome.

oil stop leak addatives good or bad?

by falling-out-with-my-car » 15 Jul 2009, 11:55

First post

Hi,

has anyone ever used oil stop leak engine oil addatives and do they work?

what do they work on? Not work on? any advice on your experiences with particular products would be gratefully appreciated.

regards.

Nigel.

Last post

jim, there are so many more addatives on the market these days that promise so much in reconditioning seals and stopping leaks, some are quite expensive addatives,

the reason why I asked was accertain which was considered to be the best of the bunch that is if anyone has plundered 20 quid on a bottle of it.

regards Nigel.

Xsara Keys

by RichardW » 09 Jul 2009, 15:44

First post

My Dad is having trouble with the keys on has 2002 Xsara. He had a new alternator a few months back, after which none of the keys would open the car (don't know which would start it). He got at least one of the keys reprogrammed and working, but is now trying to get the rest going, as he is selling the car to my Sister in a few weeks. He took it...

Last post

There are two aspects to consider.

1) Does the car turn in the column lock and start the car? If it doesn't a Lexia is neede to pair the key to the car.

2) Does the remote lock/unlock function work? If it doesn't, and providing aspect 1 is working, then you pair the key to the car by inserting the key into the column lock, press the unlock...

C4 Ventilation system problems

by Philjw » 18 Jul 2009, 11:00

First post

Hi Guys
Our 2005 C4 2l HDi Exclusive 5 door has decided only to provide air through the windscreen vent regardless of settings. This happens when set to auto or manual selction of vents. It is not just the screen clearing button selected. That does seem to have some effect in that if the fan speed is set manually then you press the screen button...

Last post

We had exactly the same problem on a Peugeot 407 pool car at work, which is pretty much the same car as yours, I think. :?
The garage cured it while I waited by plugging into their computer and resetting the appropriate ECU. The same fault then developed again a few weeks later in involving another reset but it's now been OK for over a year.

2001 C5 2.0 HDI 110 OBD II Compliant?

by dnsey » 02 Apr 2009, 08:44

First post

I'm picking up an early C5 HDI at the weekend, and wondered if anyone can tell me if it's OBD II compliant, at least as far as reading basic fault codes etc.
Can anyone help, please?

Last post

i thought the European standerd is EOBD, as the E states European,

but as stated earlier it was legislated all European cars

petrol from 01
diesel from 04

must be E/OBD compliant

even though the car manufacturerd in there wisdom still thought they would be clever, and have manufacturerd dedicated pins (cheaky)

Does anyone who owns a Citroen C4 Grand Picasso, 2007 or later model, experience double vision/distortion of oncoming headlights and tail lights when driving at night.

Hi all, I have a C8 giving me grief with anti pollution fault (now fixed) and after a few hundred miles 'Fuel aditive minimum level' great! I have filled the aditive tank & reset the counters with a snap on scanner, but the display just keeps re-appearing? Either i'm doing something wrong or the additive ECU (if it has a seperate one?) has packed...

Last post

I'm not sure on the mpg, its not bad imo though, for such a big car with a small diesel engine in. Performance is much better as before it was warning 'unblock diesel filter' (the partical filter)
I will update if any related faults turn up, if not, no news is good news!
Cheers Steve

Mine has the Eco button.
I kills the AC compressor and just uses normal ventilation for cooling.
Saves a few mpg, supposedly.

I use it mainly to allow the condensor to dry out. Hit it for the last couple of miles on a trip.
Otherwise you can get condensation/ice lingering there that wets the pollen filter and promotes fungal growth along with...
