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,

My 1974 Citroen DS Super 5 has recently developed a fault, it refuses to idle. I can start it but have to hold the accelerator over a thousand rpm to keep it running. I noticed a vacuum pipe from the inlet manifold is off, but my car has been converted to electronic ignition and can't see where it would attach to the distributor. Help!!! [-o<

Hi,
I ordered an SFIF rebuild kit before i pulled off the carb. It dosesn't fit, not even close.
I do like to keep things how i found them. I have put it all back together as i need to move the car and it is the the gasket that joins top and bottom halves of the carb which i damaged pulling it apart, so may just make a new one.

2.0 HDi Xantia, which fuel filter?

Hi all,

I want to change the fuel filter on my 2001 Xantia HDi 110 but I don't know which type I need, I hear there are 2 sorts. My filter housing has two connections on the top, not three if that makes a difference.

Any ideas?

Last post

If its any help on a 406 the one without the multiplug was the most common, on these we fitted just the filter element.

The other type with the plug, a rarer fitment. I seem to remember we had to fit the whole unit for these as there was no element available back then (like the 1.4HDi it was the whole lot ) it may of changed since then though.

4HP20 Lexia Faults

by Ben82 » 05 Jun 2013, 19:37

First post

Had a visit from Bandit12 today to pair a new key up for him.
Was an interesting visit, and proved that my Lexia worked with a different C5 (a 2.2 HDI auto) :D

Anyway doing the general run through of faults, there were a few that appeared, most notably was some Auto gearbox ones.

Here are the lexia screenshots:

Cleared them all now, so...

It's probably worth starting a new thread for the eolys questions. As many with diesels that can help may not check an automatic gb thread :)

Synergie - Ulysse crossover parts.

by Johnny Cogs » 06 Jun 2013, 10:25

First post

Hey Folks. With MOT day just around the corner I have a few things I need to fix and a few things I might as well fix at the same time.

I have found a Ulysse at a local breakers (in what looks to be the same colour too) that I was hoping I might be able to pilfer bits from.

Does anyone know if the following are a straight swap?

Heater Blower...

Last post

I think the lights were different shapes, certainly the tail lights and probably side lights. If you get the front wings you might need the sidelight cluster and indicator repeater as well.

The Synergie, 806 and Useless were mainly distinguished by trim, upholstery and lights. I think the Useless could be ordered with a 3 seat bench for row 3....

Yes, the good blast in second or third, engine hot, clears loads of cr_p. Essential if my wife has been driving it for a few days as she rarely gets above 2500 rpm.

I think they were supposed to idle at 800 or so, but mine turns over at 1000. Originally there was a throttle damper, if you look where the cable ends under the bonnet the damper...

Hi all some time since I posted,I bought this 2009 VTR 1.8 Petrol C5 in Jan 2012,the dealer or somebody had changed all the road tyres to Marshall Matrac XM 255/55/ZR17 101W XL,of course it should have had Michelins on but at 20,000 miles I did not kick up about it as I bought it very cheap and the tyres were new,well the weird bit is the spare...

Well, as we're talking gearbox noises. (Synergie 1.9td)

by Johnny Cogs » 14 Mar 2013, 15:00

First post

When I lift off the old Loud pedal theres a bearing-esque noise from the gearbox. It's also present when reversing.

Doesnt sound like a typical thrust bearing, as (in my mind) it sounds a bit more affected by the gearbox casing (as in the noise a casing makes when you tap it.... with a hammer! :p )

I hope that makes sense?

Does that sound...

Lexia authorisation code help please?

by Northern_Mike » 04 Jun 2013, 17:41

First post

Well, I was going to disable cruise control and remove the stalk, to see if my fiddlings with that had had any effect on the airbag and horn. I found it in the BSI, but when I went to save the settings, Lexia asked me for a 4 digit code to authorise writing to the BSI.

I do not know this code. I know it exists because DickieG used it when we...

Last post

So this code is, err, security through obscurity ? ;)

Why block it with a code at all if you still need Lexia hardware to use it, the code is the same for all cars, and it seems to be widely known...
I remember reading about this, it was supposed to be selected people (or person) at the dealership that would have the code, so the front monkeys...

I want to fit a CD player to my Xantia. HOW??

As per title, I hear there can be issues when connecting the steering wheel controls up unless you have the right adaptor/head unit. Will a unit from a Saxo or similar fit?

Last post

Halfords also sell the autoleads cable required to connect the steering wheel controls. Can't remember if it was 25 or 45 quid, and it was special order in but it did the trick!

Hi all, I am new to this forum.

I am looking at possibly getting a xsara 2001 automatic, hdi. 98000 miles 2 owners.
What price should I be looking to pay, and what realistic mpg could I expect to receive.

Are these cars decent? Any known faults!

Many thanks for any help

Last post

Rear axle faults.. being the rear wheels lean in and rub the arch on the inner side is a common xsara 206 and 306 with trailing arm suspension issue.. be wary.. easyer to replace the whole thing but the axles seem to be in short supply so is common. They arent as easy as xantia / bx arms to refurb if they have gone too far.
