Given the number of 'After-sales campaign' notices concerning Takarta Airbags I have been made aware of when looking up parts from PSA for members, I thought I would post a link to the following documentary that may be informative concerning the issue with these igniters.

According to Takata, the chemicals in the airbags’ explosive charge can...

My DS5, VF7**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff] should be eligible for recall, but my vehicle is in China and I cannot find the corresponding service provider. Could you please contact me officially and tell me how to handle this? ????_20251024002629_33_148.png

Hi
Today, in the middle of driving, my Xantia mk2 (petrol, 2lit, 16v) went dead.all of a sudden the hands of the speedometer and the rpm gauge ran from side to side once or twice, landing in full scale position and all the electricity went off. I've tried to tighten the battery leads but to no avail. any clues?
Thanx.

Last post

Yes indeed. Ignition switch or the feed to it is the favourite cause.

There are splices (joints) in the wiring harness that passes under the radiator that carry the main feeds to the ignition switch and in the presence of damp these splices fail.

The best initial test is to measure for the presence of voltage at the ignition switch connectors...

The waste gate is controlled by the ECU on the 2.0 TCT, so I'm assuming that error means that the ECU is not happy with the boost pressure reading its getting when trying to regulate the boost pressure...

Will the Lexia show you the measured boost pressure in the parameters measurement section ? Looking at that while revving or driving the car...

Last post

If they haven't been changes in that long and such low miles I bet they aren't happy and for the price a change is cheap enough.

The boost pressure could be the turbo over boosting. Drive the car gentle and off boost as best you can and see if the light stays off. If it stays as a permanent fault then the pressure sensor is possibly faulty....

Ok! You win! Sorry! No lambda sensor!
Another question! Looks like the differential pressure sensor is wrong. I tried to measure it, but I'm not sure which one is signal cable. I measured 3 different voltage 1 pink wire 0.54V, White wire 0.05V, red wire 3.9V. The engine been turned off.
Are they good measures or not?

Window cable problems

by nevdixon » 13 Aug 2013, 18:03

First post

Hi guys

just on sorting out my passenger side front window due to corroded cable (2008 C5X7 - known fault when I got it) and I'm struggling to get the new cables on - they are either massively too tight or massively too loose.

Has anyone got any tips or photos of how they go back on

Cheers

Nev

Slight oil drip from centre of engine bay

by evoke » 14 Aug 2013, 14:40

First post

Still got a very slight oil drip which seems to come from the centre of the engine bay onto my driveway. It is a dark brown oil so I guess it's engine oil. The car is going in to another workshop on Monday for a diagnosis. The drip seems to happen when the engine is started and as the car cools down when it is parked. It's not a big drip but...

Last post

Could be all kinds of things I'm afraid, best way to tell would be to pop under there with a torch and a can of brake cleaner to see if you can find the source.
If you can identify the general area oil is coming from and post a few pictures someone will be able to give a few pointers.

Hi All

I have a leak from my Xantia’s II front right caliper. Is this mainly because of a work caliper piston ?

Thanks

Moving car on LOW

Can I hand push the car while it's on LOW and the pump and LHM tank are disconnected?

Just have to move it in my garage due to bad weather about 15 meters. Will be LHM squirting out of the disconnected pipes while steering?

Thank you.

Get some small coke bottles around any disconnected pipes and tape them on with some ductape. The time is well worth it compared to LHM stains on anything as they never come back out easily...

XM poor running engine

I've got a bit of trouble with my XM 2.1 Turbo Diesel with EPIC injection pump. Last weekend driving on the A303 up to the CCC National rally I suddenly lost power, lots of torque and the engine shakes about so much so that you feel the movement sitting inside the car.

I've put together a video showing firstly the engine shaking at idle (though...

Are you stripping the lot right back down and re-assembling as it could be worth while as it would mean you can paint up the block and other bits in some HT paint and possibly put some cheap heat webbing on the downpipe and exhaust manifold while your there and keep the engine bay in great nick as i always love spending the time cleaning bits up...

Every car has an economical service life, the Xantia is at the point of no return now. They are cheap bangers to most of us (including myself) that are good every day cars. Only the sickest of freaks would attempt a restoration on one of these.

In answer to your OP, you can prevent rust with waxoyl and schutz but if it is already there these will...

when fitting a new front wheel bearing , is it fitted first to the hub carrier and then finally is the hub then fitted through the new bearing centre.

If so do i heat the hub carrier up and freeze the bearing which then leaves me with just the hub to fit through the bearing.
Since the hub is an interference fit ,do i just freeze it overnight...

hi....my auto C5 has suddenly developed quite a loud whine which I think is coming from the gearbox. It is rev related rather than speed related, and seems worst when accelerating. when the box drops into top gear it seems to die down alot. Any ideas as to the culprit? There is 143K on the car so I know that I will need a gearbox overhaul in the...

Last post

I'm sure I remember CitroJim saying that the XM with ES9J4 has a 4HP20 with a different final drive ratio to the 4HP20 in a Xantia with the same ES9J4 engine. Not only that but the ECU is programmed differently to accept the different final drive ratio, so the final drive ratio of gearbox and ECU have to match otherwise the ECU throws up a fault...

Hi!
I recently bought a Citroen C5 1.6Hdi mk2, after 3000 miles i got an antipollution fault. I have a elm327 scanner and i got 2 different pending fault. One of them is P0470 and a second is P1351. I know the P0470 fault is an exhaust back sensor, but my question is where to locate this sensor?
Thanks for answers!

Hey guys

So far we have ~40kg stripped from its natural weight including spare wheel and tools, airbag covers, trim from inside the doors, everything from the boot and more.

What metalwork is there that's not structural?

Don't know what's behind the door cards but they'll be coming off in a couple of days to see.

What would you remove or cut...

Last post

The plastic covers around the engine bay and so forth can be removed without MOT issue as the only advantage to leaving them there is it stops them poking about the engine bay much.

Firmware upgrade

First post

Hi folks!!

Just bought a 58 plate C5 VTR+ with Nav and will be picking it up on Monday ( :-D )

The sat nav system is currently on version rneg_D_R20h_R20.16 - is it worth updating to the latest version (50?) or just leave it as it is?

Is there a list of changes / bug fixes for the different versions anywhere?

Many Thanks in advance

Nev

Might not have bluetooth nev. Mine is a 2008 exclusive, and it has a slot for the phone sim card. No pairing with bluetooth. Yours might be a later model though.
