First post

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

Disruption to Parts Service

Excellent paint, good coverage, dries well allowing for a good flow, and laquers up a treat. Might be worth seeing if Holts do a match for your car.

Sudden acceleration in 2nd gear, C5 HDI

by paulcornwall » 26 Apr 2013, 00:51

First post

I was just curious what could be causing a dead pedal and then a sudden surge of power. Yes i know its the turbo but the way its delivery seems to be not quite right. Not really bothered but would be nice to know just in case its an easy fix. All the other gears pull as intended. Any ideas?

Last post

That's strange then, I can't see why it should behave differently in 2nd to any other gear, I could have if it had been auto. Must be something sensitive to the speed or amount of throttle used when in 2nd, an electronic glitch I would think.

Exhaust gasket

by RichardW » 22 Apr 2013, 22:46

First post

Anyone know of a supplier for the brillo pad gasket on the turbo outlet? Need to have the exhaust off again and weld a patch on it, last time, I couldn't really see the gasket....!!

Last post

GSF used to stock the proper woven wire sealing ring in a kit with a multitude of various bolts , cups and washers,
same as the dealers version,

its the fiber version a lot of exhaust centers supply is the one to avoid, as it breaks up in a matter of weeks

Lexia owners near High Wycombe?

by beko1987 » 22 Apr 2013, 16:04

First post

Hi Guys.

Since I last posted here, I have replaced the ZX with an XM. Am loving almost everything about it so far, apart from the stored fault codes.

I'm reading into buying a Lexia clone from ebay or similar, but wondered if there was anyone around Wycombe who knows how to use a Lexia who wouldn't mind giving my car the once over?

I know the...

You are correct, no substitute for experience! Campbell (messerschmittowner) had the rear spheres replaced last year, and the front ones look ok, but no idea on pressures. The whole system needs a good flush and a few miles with the flush, campbell did say the fluid was filthy.

Hopefully it just needs a good service and some love. Everything else...

C5 Spheres

by andybsmith » 23 Apr 2013, 06:07

Is it possible to change the front strut spheres without using a lexia? My C5 exc is excessively hard on the front end which makes me think that the front spheres are shot, up to now I have changed the wishbones, droplinks and lower ball joints, but the firmness and excessive roll is still present. It makes no difference if the suspension is in...

Changing C5 spheres

by StevieOMG » 22 Apr 2013, 18:17

First post

I've decided I need to change my spheres. LX with 130k on. Whilst the spheres seem reasonably easy to obtain, a removal tool does not. Anyone have any recommendations as to where to get one and any how to guide available? I know there are only four (two front and two rear). I'm assuming that front are reasonably easy as being under the bonnet they...

I have the proper Citroen sphere tool, it is rubbish, and rarely removes them, as it is just not strong enough. I have a Hugh chain wrench, and this removes ANYTHING with a thread

2003 picasso hdi cruise control

hi again chaps,as you might gather i am a novice with citroens can someone please advise me if when you turn cruise on should it show up on the dash, and also ive just bought lexia to try to fix this what settings do i have to turn on for cruise to work thanks in advance andy, #-o

Last post

I have found that some Picasso's don't show anything on the dash when it's turned on. Others say cc in small letters where the mileage is shown. You will need to turn the option of Cruise on in the BSI, there are several choices, you may have to trial and error which one.
You will need to turn the cruise option on in the engine ecu as well....

C5 X7 Climate

by mooseshaver » 21 Apr 2013, 19:07

First post

Not a fault, just a why?
With engine running and climate set to auto I've noticed the fan spins faster when in reverse, and slower in drive or neutral. This is when stationary after first starting.
I just wondered why. Nothing is wrong and climate control works fine.

There is supposed to be an air quality sensor too to detect fumes and moisture. Not sure I noticed it auto recycling or turning on air con in previous c5. Not driven this one far enough to tru

C5 2.2hdi air system engine and brakes ?????

by waynedance » 15 Apr 2013, 20:10

First post

Ok another 2.2 mk1 question.

Now firstly engine seems to have plenty of power but does seem to slightly hold back.

When starting engine after being left for a while you need to give plenty of acceleration and the engine will not give full revs for about a minute or two, as if air is being built up.

Also when starting from cold and the first...

Last post

When I first got my 2.2 MK1 (5 or 6 years ago) the accelerator cable had stretched. Fixing that made an enormous difference, something simple worth investigating perhaps.

Brake pedal not sure, leaky master cylinder? The brake vacuum is derived from a pump on the end of the camshaft, the vacuum also controls via electrovalves the turbo boost, EGR,...

Hi Guys I need some help on this

I though I knew enough about Xantia’s but appears I missed a few lessons. Basically I have a 1999 2.0 HDI 110BHP Xantia I got it last year and gave the suspension a complete overhaul, Hydraflush all new spheres and then nice new green blood (jobs a good one)

Now over the last few weeks had an issue with heavy...

Hi gents,

Today I tried to spray some oil (anti seize) at the UJ. I didn't have the wheel off so the space was confined and I had poor visibility (no flash light or torch light handy). So I couldn't actually spot the joint and tried shooting the place up with the spray can hoping I'd eventually get the UJ in the process even though I wasn't...

Stainless steel exhausts

by Hell Razor5543 » 21 Apr 2013, 18:44

First post

OK, so they are based in Sweden, so I dread to think what the shipping costs would be! However, for those of us who have large engines in their XMs, look at the photos on row 10;

onclick= window.open(this.href);return false;

I wonder if the shipping costs would go down for multiple items to one address?

Last post

Most of them seen to be at least £260 though, not sure if that's a good price or not really?

What are the box dimensions of a packed exhaust? You can get some prices here (from Sweden's RM): onclick= window.open(this.href);return false;
Looks like shipping could go into hundreds of pounds though.

All the spheres were pretty flat when I bought this car, I changed the front ones and immediately had about 4 of movement. After not using the car for a couple of months the rear had gone solid, thinking it was the spheres I bought a new pair, fitted them, no different, you can't push the back down at all although you can sometimes lift it up an...

I thought I would let you know the outcome of this problem, mandrake was quite correct it was the radius arm bearings but they didn't fail in the time honoured way, they had not disintegrated and the arms were not leaning, at least not noticeable and the tyre wear was not uneven, one bearing was still whole but rusted solid.

I've got a bit of play in the top bearing on my steering column.

On the Xantia, does replacement mean I have to change the entire assembly? I can't see a bearing on Citroen service.

On standard Xantia electric mirrors ( not the 'auto-dip' ones) is the control box right underneath the switch? Or would there be another ECU somewhere?
