Cambelt nightmare

by JohnD » 16 Sep 2009, 16:40

First post

All my cambelt experience in the past has been XUD BXs, 205s and 2.1 Xantia. I’ve never attempted any of our present fleet, although the Saxo and the 306 are long overdue. Not on mileage but certainly on age. Both are 11 years old.

Monday morning I decided to change the belts on the Saxo. This was the first engine I’ve ever done that didn’t have...

Last post

While the weather was still good I thought I'd put a new cambelt on the Pug 306. Not before time since it's eleven years old and still on the original belt. Our Pug is fitted with the last of the XUD9 engines so it has the spring loaded tensioner. Having got the engine nice and hot I had trouble getting the crankshaft bolt undone. A rattle gun...

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.

Xantia petrol engine revs won't drop

by Downunder » 21 Sep 2009, 22:23

First post

When driving along at constant speed and then taking foot off accelerator the engine maintains revs and then suddenly drops. This gives a jerky action.
I have thoroughly cleaned the air intake around the butterfly with carbi cleaner.

Could it be the idle stepper motor. Someone has suggested the throttle position sensor. Where is this unit and how...

If you can disconnect the cable from the cam and manually operate the cam, that will exclude the cable from the equation

Hi Richard

You dont even have to remove the shroud, if you drop the steering wheel right down and towards you the screws can be reached if you have a torx screwdriver. Once you know where all the screws are you can have the panel out in a few minutes.

Beginning of a problem? Xantia Hdi90.

by rmunns » 23 Sep 2009, 19:57

I'm a bit of a prophet of doom, hence my concern.

Year 2000 90Hdi forte, 40000miles.

We are going on a 2000mile+ return trip from Friday to next Thursday. After absolutely no probs since we got the car in July09, my wife reported this evening that when she turned on the ignition today the glow plug light flashed for 10 seconds or so. It was...

Last post

That was my first thought HDI. I've read some vehicles now use the EML to indicate emissions related issues - whether a fault found or regeneration occuring - in which case I would expect it to be covered in the manual.

Xsara Picasso 1.6 Petrol Y reg ABS Fault

by bagseye » 23 Sep 2009, 21:32

First post

As the title says my girlfriends car is showing ABS Fault Non Functioning or something similar. On doing a quick search on the net it seems to be a faulty wheel sensor, or the first thing to check.

Does anyone have a picture of the location of this sensor? I have located the part on the net but not sure where to start looking for it.

Any help...

Last post

Xsara Picassos all have drums on the back - and ABS cars do not have a load limiting valve on the rear brakes. You should therefore drive it only with extreme caution if the ABS is U/S as braking hard could cause a rear end lock up and the car to swap ends pretty quickly :shock: I'd have thought any garage would have a scanner that could read the...

Stripped spark plug thread

by martinwiseman2000 » 23 Sep 2009, 08:56

First post

Hi,

I recently had a stripped spark plug thread on my 2.0 16V Xantia as a result of a spark plug working loose and rattling in it's hole. By the time I noticed the knocking noise (which sounded exactly like a sticking tappet and could not be heard from inside the vehicle) it had probably done in excess of 1000 miles like this, the thread was...

Last post

I've helicoiled plug threads in situ by using an industrial vacuum cleaner over the working area to remove the swarf. After the helicoil was inserted I looked inside the cylinder with a borescope and there were only a few minute pieces of alloy swarf in there , another application of the vac cleaner removed even them. Just make sure the valves are...

Wrong Spheres

by Duracell » 23 Sep 2009, 21:56

First post

I recently ordered some spheres for my hydractive Hdi Xantia from a well known supplier - They were given the year, model, RP No, Vin No and the fact is was hydractive, yet when I got them, they had supplied non hydoactive 1.9td spheres for the corners. I took them back and the salesman checked the part numbers - I found that he hadn't made a...

Last post

Hi Richard,

To so many people who are not intimately au-fait they're all green balls so they must all be the same :roll:

I must confess I run my hydractive V6 on 1.9TD non-hydractive corner spheres from choice and the ride is lovely. A bit roly-poly in hard corners but generally, it softens the ride up a bit and makes it more of a magic carpet....

I keep seeing references to Series 1 & 2 models and can find no information about this, so, what are the differences and when was the Series 2 introduced?

I have a 99 1.8i Sensation that I assume is a Series 2 car.

Last post

Well in honesty, i was under the impression that the 16v 2.oi ALWAYS had the keypad, but the 1.6, 1.8 didn't have it at first - I Know the 2.oi 8v did, as ive a customer with one, and it has it.

Any sugestions? Thanks guys!

Last time I looked (a few months ago) Autos and Sons at Bottisham near Cambridge had a green Mk2 with straight panels. Cars generally sit around for a long time there, and prices are reasonable.
