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...

Just that

Is it average home mechanic doable or no chance, when I say average, I can do some things, but not a c/head or gearbox

A C5 will use the floating crank pulley, and therefore you should lock the crank and cam before removing the bolt. In practice (and what I think Peter did :lol: ) you will get away with unbolting it - the slop in the crank sprocket is small. I would still be tempted to use a crank locking device on the ring gear to undo the bolt, rather than...

The rear axle repair bits are about £45 per side (pin and bearing kit); you would be mad not to do both at once. It does require some workshop tooling as the rear beam must be removed and new pins fitted with a press.

Getting it right on the arm in the first place is vital, it is not something that can be adjusted once it is on the car.

A flat board or tabletop would work to do the setting up. But you have to align the bush to the correct angle with the wishbone and you can only get the bush to push on about 2 or 3mm manually. You may have to tap/push it on...

Hi guys, im a noob here so hopefully you can help.

I have been given a C3 (2003) which is running rough as! Starts first time, then misses like a pig and stalls in idle. If you keep it running, it struggles to reach 40 mph judders and stuff.

Now, im thinking injector problem? Any other advice would be welcome.

Cheers Mike

Thanks for the heads up on all this : Ben - I do have a laptop but I cannot really warrant the expense of a lexia. I would probably get it and use it once - that said if I don't get it I sods law says I will need it on a monthly basis... Dammed if you do, dammed if you don't :(

Hi Guys
As you know i have had a few problems with an height issue with the Xantia.I thought this had been sorted when i put a new Dogbone on.The new problem is that it keeps popping off on one side:(.The side it comes off is not the tightest of fits but i thought it was enough to hold it.Will i have to buy a new or recon unit or have any of you...

Last post

Well it might have to wait because i don't have a small drill..only got a large hammer drill which is way to big to drill something so small :(...So nothing else but replacement or drilling ?

Aftermarket Grounding cable, do you?

by begins » 15 Mar 2013, 15:13

Hi all,

Do you use the aftermarket grounding cable in your old Citroen? I thought of installing one to boost the electrical system stability in my C5.

I would to hear your comments and advice.

Thank you very much.

Regards,

That one looks a bit too much, I think its made for large audio installations and things.

Something like this maybe > onclick= window.open(this.href);return false;

Might be ideal.

1.6 hdi pipe

by aalpha_taxis » 15 Mar 2013, 09:59

First post

I have a c5 06 reg 1.6 hdi. The em light came on continuously and initiated limp mode (no turbo). Upon closer inspection I noticed a small pipe hanging loose in engine bay. I was wondering if anyone could shed light on to what it is, and what it does. It's a small rubber ended pipe containing a clear plastic tube, it runs under the oil filter. I...

Xantia HDI Bosh fuel filter removal tool

by Taffyrhys » 14 Mar 2013, 18:35

First post

I see that you need a special tool to unscrew the bosh fuel filter housing on my S2 Citroen Xantia 110 HDI and i was wondering if it can be removed without the tool or use something else . Maybe somebody has a blue print of the tool so i could knock one up in the shed :)

Cheers Taff

I wouldn't be without one now.

I'm not sure of it on an HDi filter housing though as those teeth can dig in and might damage. I'd much prefer Monkeyfeet's leather one for that task.

Works fine on the C5 and the Berlingo Jim, hardly needed any pressure at all to get them off, and very...

so , yet another question!

random event - trundling up the A23 yesterday , changed from 4 >5 just north of haywards heath (road works) when `clunk` the pedal falls to the floor!

well first reaction was ` oh s**t that's the cable gone` , pulled into pease pottage services , and pulled the pedal back up... stiff resiatnce and it stayed in place...

Last post

Fitted a replacement clutch cable to my TD 30k ago, supplied by GSF, and that clicks at times. Not a click as in noise , but rather something I feel through the pedal. Works OK, so not investigated. Only clicks when I depress the pedal right to the floor.

Sphere life

by davewithington » 13 Mar 2013, 12:45

First post

I've just bought some new spheres from a well known and trusted supplier

They have a manufacture date of 2003. Do spheres deteriorate in storage?

Last post

Going on experience I imagine they will be not far off the correct pressure if they have had a shelf life.

Good result :)

Do all c5 1.6 hdi's have dmf or not as when i put my reg into part finders they come up with three part clutch kit.

As Richard has said, yes it does. Every diesel C5 has a DMF, unfortunately!
I'm pretty sure the 90 bhp HDi doesent have a DMF.

Just replacing an alternator and so have the accessory belt off. I did find some comments here about the tensioners but would like to know how much play, if any, is acceptable. Car has done about 120k miles.

Lower, manual adjustment one, spins freely and silently but can be moved slightly 'corner to corner' so some play there. Top spring loaded...

Can anyone recommend somewhere in the bristol or surrounding area to get my spheres changed (an LX) or alternatively a good supplier of spheres and appropriate tool. Would it be worthwhile changing the Fluid at the same time?
