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

Diesel Pump Replacement Seals

Berlingo 1.9d 2004

Hi all, I have a 2004 Citroen Berlingo with a Delphi diesel pump R84 48B391C / 105087EXF / DPCDWLP12. It has a seal that has gone and I've managed to get another used fuel pump to fit and replace but where could I purchase overhaul seals to repair the original.

Regards
Steve

Last post

if its the usual leak on the Lucas/Delphi pump at the throttle spindle, you sometimes need to fit a new lid as well,

you can fit the spindle seals in situe without going to all the time and trouble of removing the pump,

very easy job

because when the seals fail the spindle can wear into the lid,

this company can supply the parts,

Would a Lexia session be able to diagnose why the fuel consumption is so poor, about 33 on average. There's also some very strange whistling/whining noises which also disappear at around 3000rpm so are probably connected.

Well the local Citoren specialist ( used to look at my BX back in the day ) reckoned it was the Spheres.We had a bit of a discussion about the height corrector sticking etc...what worried me...

Last post

A roughly check if the car height is normal

Measure the distance from ground to wheel arc in low position.
Raise the car to max and measure again.

The normal height should be about half the distance between min and max - set the car to normal ride,measure the distance and compare it to the calculated distance.

Xantia key

by CFO » 02 May 2013, 18:19

First post

Hi folks - have been working on the car electrics (now sorted) but lost the registration with the plip during that process. I gather that to reconnect, I need to switch on the ignition with the spare key, and then fire the plip at the receiver. The problem is that the spare key will open the doors, but not turn in the ignition. I have had a brand...

Last post

Back in May I posted about the problem of getting a blade key to switch on the ignition while I tried to reconnect the plip. Having had no luck with a couple of keys cut by the local expert, I ordered one through my local Citroen garage. This one worked, and when I took it to the key cutting guy to use as a model to tweak the two I got from him...

Xantia HDI 110 slave cylinder - 406 fitment?

by rmcdonal » 14 May 2013, 10:11

First post

Hi Citroen forum,

I've read up many a thread on the clutch replacement causing possible issues with the slave cylinder if the garage has gone in heavy handed. I've got exactly the same issue. The garage has replaced the clutch but there's now no pressure on the clutch pedal and the clutch won't fully disengage with the biting point on the floor....

Last post

I'm coming to this thread in July and it was current in May. I have a similar pedal-on-floor problem with my Xantia 110 Hdi. Again, it's after the clutch was replaced by a commercial garage. It's now about 100 miles since they did the job, and I know they had a lot of trouble putting the car back together when they did it. It's only when I stick...

Result! Old V6 looking good for 200K

by PavlosV6 » 25 Jun 2013, 22:14

First post

Passed the MOT today with no advisories, just a comment on the insignificant LHM bleed around OSR sphere (which CitroJim spotted on the pre-MOT a couple of weeks ago and) which requires no immediate action. :) Recent engine oil, filter and 50% ATF change keep the good times rolling. Average MPG over the 22 months and 18K miles of mixed duties...

Last post

Yaay. Nice one! Jim really does know how to fix an auto box then!

As for MPG, I remember bringing my V6 Xantia back from scotland, I took it easy and steady, only because old L reg TD was following behind and managed around 34mpg.. I was rather impressed with that. And that was with a dodgy coil pack where she would run on 5 now and again....

Nemo Tyre Wear

First post

Hello, my brother has a Nemo van that munches tyres.
He has had both front struts tops replaced under warranty but its still doing it.
Tracking and balancing have been checked many times and from different garages.
The dealer is not of great help.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Last post

Yeah my brother is as unconvinced.
He has been told that for Berlingos that have this issue Citroen have told their dealers to jus say its a characteristic of the vehicle.

Lexia C2 P0131 fault and check engine light

by punkieys17 » 24 Jun 2013, 12:06

First post

The fault seems to relate to the oxygen sensor (replaced) or the wiring. Has anyone experienced this - it appears the car is running too rich and flagging a fault. Any help on the diagnosis greatly appreciated, C2 2004 1.1 SX cheers

Last post

P0131 means the oxygen sensor voltage is staying low all the time, which would normally indicate a lean condition if the oxygen sensor was working. On the other hand if the ECU was receiving a low voltage erroneously (faulty oxygen sensor, oxygen sensor heater not working, shorted wiring etc) then it would try to richen the mixture to compensate...

Wheel well tools.

by qprdude » 24 Jun 2013, 19:02

First post

Taking out all my cloths/gloves and stuff prior to Wednesdays service and MOT, I noticed that I have two towing brackets. One short and one long. I'm assuming one front and one rear, but the owners handbook shows only one supplied. The other stuff would appear to be a splined and threaded shaft with a taper end (about 100mm long), which I presume...

Last post

Ah, so the wheels have bolts, not studs, I see it all now. There's normally a raised ring for locating wheels but I guess the Citroen likes to be different. Looks like none of the tools have ever been used. The splined shaft is brand spanking new. The chock has never been opened. The jack and tow brackets haven't got the paint scratched. The full...

Xantia sinking more with Hydraflush in system

First post

Just in the middle of a hydraflush (700mls, only another 300 to go) and I noticed the car tends to settle more over the course of a few days if not used.
Probably normal as the flush is thinner ? than LHM so would seep past seals more ?

After fitting hydraflush and bleeding everything car runs well and Stop light which used to take 20 secs+ to go...

Xantia front subframe

Hi all

I'm looking to lower down a subframe in the coming future to gain access to some VERY crusty pipes which have burst and fired waxoyl (ahem.. LHM rather) all within my old 2.1TD's wheelarch. I had a replacement pipe was ready to fit it and it decided to only undo at one end. At the other end is the safety pressure switch which has 4 (thanks...

I recently had to replace a front-rear brake pipe.

It was very difficult tracing the pipe runs because the pipes ran over the top of the rear subframe. I spent couple of happy hours under the car drawing what I saw on bits of card and came up with this.
This is for the rear of a Xantia 1.9TD SX non hydractive

Apart from Citroen, GSF (Amtek), AEP & Westron, I'm sure I found another brand on-line in the past, but all I can remember now is that they were German. Anyone any ideas or better still, recommendations, please?

Only advice I have is avoid Lizarte (Spanish I think) as badly made. Bad threads wouldn't fit rear rams.
The only real alternative I have here is Monroe which have worked out ok as regards quality so far, ordering front ones soon.

Do I need new front bearing/hub?

by pcspinheiro » 24 Jun 2013, 11:41

Hi everybody!

I have an issue which might relate to bearings or hub... but I need educated guesses from you gurus!

I have a 2002 phase II Xsara estate (2.0i 16v 136 HP) that has, since I bought it a bit over ½ year ago, a growling sound on the driver's front side and this gets worse when braking, as if strain is being put on the bearings. Also,...

Last post

Thanks again, will do! However, it's too great a coincidence that the only affected wheel is where the accident took place... plus I have changed all 4 disks now and only that one has the intermittent rubbing on the brake pads. It's anyway worth a double check as it's a better alternative to a new hub... If I read correctly, you can't just unscrew...

I have a diesel C3 2002 with 110,000 on the clock. The right indicator turns itself on without being touched.

Can be prevented by holding the indicator stick forward.
Initially it was once every hour but now...
