Also do you retorque the bolts or just do them up tight,dont want to squash/pinch it

Thanks in advance

Last post

It is quite a common thing to replace as it goes hard with age.

Ensure you clean all traces of it off if it breaks up a bit from the cover.

I just gently tighten them, no need to go mad and they are small bolts although as above they need to be tight enough to not vibrate loose.

Also if you mainly only drive short distances say less than 10mls.
or do a lot of stop start driving like door to door deliveries
then you need to change the oil more often say at half-two thirds recomended oil changes, depending.

Hi
my neighbour's 54reg C8 broke down on the motorway and had to be towed home. A local mechanic with lexia found a 'camshaft sensor' fault code so the sensor was replaced with new, however the car still won't start and the code remains ?
any ideas ?

Last post

If you do a google search, you will find loads of C8 early belt snap stories.

On the plus side, you will most likely find that it is only the rockers that have bust, but on the minus side, you have to take the engine out to get the rocker box off.

Where is the Xsara MK2 1.6i 16V headlamp washer fuse? Location, inside the car or the engine room?

I need this help for a friend of mine who broke one of the headlamp washer heads.
He would like to disable it by removing the fuse. No owner's manual :(

Thanks in advance.

... I was going to say why not disconnect the pump / motor for them but I guess that's going to be fiddly to get at.

By the sounds of it, if its a rubber pipe on the bottom of the injectors (and small pieces of the same pipe link the injectors) you just need a length of leak off pipe.

It will cause starting issues if its leaking. Its quite cheap to buy and just a push fit as its not under any real pressure. Note one injector (at least) has a 'cap' at the end of...

Thank you for your kind prompt, I fitted the origial seal incorrectly (on the sphere) that is why I fitted an O ring in the first place, it was only after I read on this site the correct way to fit a seal.

Don't know but as the valve is only a two port on or off device wouldn't have thought it would make much difference.

Random tip: Smear a hint of copper grease onto the aerial threads before refitting, just a little bit. As its conductive it won't interfere with signal reception but should stop it seizing on. :)

Lucky though, they can snap. From memory the aerial 'base' part is cheaper than the 'mast'
