New PSA Heritage Parts for Classic Cars

by GiveMeABreak » 11 Oct 2019, 16:18

First post

Parts for Classic / Older Citroen, Peugeot Renault Vehicles

This may be of interest to Members with older vehicles where getting parts is a struggle and for those not already aware of the site.

PSA are embarking on a project to provide some supplies of original and re manufactured parts for older vehicles and classics, and have made it a...

Last post

I've used them a couple of times, most recently for a pair of XM rear ram gaiters.
Not cheap, but the only source found for new ones.

The Search box will accept original part numbers, so no need to go ploughing through the long, illustrated lists. Some good stuff there, genuine and new!

Seals, Xantia rear lamp cluster seals

by Stickyfinger » 28 Mar 2018, 11:43

First post

Hi Chaps

Anybody had any success in fixing the rear lamp cluster seals (on the rear wing) by either re-constituting the hard old seals or by finding a replacement seal ?

Last post

Comma oils used to supply a product called 'Seek and Seal.' which was excellent for sealing lamp fittings and windscreens, it worked like blood, (although colourless) found its way into the gaps then congealed.

Not sure if it's still available, came in a can like the 3in1 oil cans.

. I'm pleased to say the car is back on the road as (I've discovered) it's a characteristic of these 8 valve engines that because the valves are vertical they don't tend to bend but instead ruin the camshaft - the lobes are pressed on rather than machined from a single piece and it's the lobes that 'give'.

What engine was this on? There's a...

C5 X7 diesel fuel filter issue

by Bandit12 » 07 Mar 2018, 19:05

First post

Hi guys

As part of servicing my x7 136bhp 2.0 diesel I decided to replace the fuel filter. Only problem is I cannot get the lid of the cannister off!! tried the recommended 27mm socket as per citroen.doc service notes which just rounded the plastic nut on the top. Ended up resorting to using an oil filter wrench combined with the 27mm socket....

Last post

Thanks fr link to fuel filter tool n yes successfully used it a few days ago. What a pain! Used a 3/4 metre long torque wrench n finally got the cap off. It had an orange seal n seemed to me it may have swollen a bit over time cos once I'd completed a couple of turns n seal was clear of the housing it was loose enough to spin off with fingers....

CX indicators

First post

Hi,

I’ve got an issue with the indicators on the CX (1987) only working when they feel like it, while the hazard flashers will always work. When they don’t work the flasher relay just buzzes. I’ve been sticking my arm out the window, but people don’t look for hand signals nowadays. So I need to fix this and could do with some advice.

I think the...

You can remove the top to replace the bulb, but i think that's as far as you can go???

Firstly, I am new to these forums despite owning Citroens since 1999. Therefore, hello to everyone and I look forward to future visits to the site. Also, apologies for jumping straight in, but I have searched over an extended period for the information I need and my physical activity has been limited by serious illness since 2003. I am hoping to...

Last post

1) Do the compressors/pumps vary between the models?
Probably... there are also different types fitted to the same variants, and sometimes even Citroen don't know what is fitted!
2) Can I source and fit a shorter belt to bypass the offending item?
Yes, common 'bodge'...measure round the pulleys with string to see what length you need.
3) Or can i...

C4 Picasso sticking brake

by RichardW » 04 Mar 2018, 20:31

First post

As noted elsewhere, the C4 has suddenly decided that the NSF brake wants to stick - it was OK only a few weeks ago when it was MOTd, no comment about it dragging (and it's proper dragging now!). I cleared away the snow, and in between the snow showers stripped it down this afternoon.

Garage fitted a new caliper yesterday which has cured it. The MPG has now recovered from 37 to 45 on my commute! And, as a further bonus, the noise I thought was a wheel bearing has gone, so it must have been the brake vibrating. Winner!

Same improvements here when I fitted new discs/pads to the Ion and replaced the swollen rubber bush on the...

Sorry chaps but me and the C5 have parted company and I am now using a rather nice 56 plate Toyota Prius T4 as my daily drive.

After one week driving it is averaging...

do you think removing it and cleaning it would be a mare Marc? its my normal way of tackling things? ;)
The only thing I can see regarding that message is that is says the same as the above and that it needs replacing. - Your mileage is commensurate with the end of life of the filter - so a clean has to be preferable in the first instance - I've...

How long has your C5 clutch lasted?

Hi,
My mark 2 C5 has done 127K miles on the original clutch and I'm wondering how much longer it will last. What milages have yours done? Mine still drives OK but there is less feel on releasing the clutch - it's a bit like it's in or it's out with nothing much inbetween.

Last post

I'm pretty sure my clutch (87,000miles) is original. It sqeaks or honks sometimes on uptake but isn't going to be slipping anytime soon.

Neglected C4 1.6hdi which has not had an oil change in 40k / 3yr

I'm planning to drop the oil replacing filter + sump plug

Then run for upto 1k then drop the oil replacing filter + sump plug

sensible ?

I'm thinking there'll be quite a bit of sludge in it & flushing might do more harm then good ?

Rather alarming to have to remove engine and turbo filters, in an attempt to boost oil pressure/flow. Is there no permanent solution to the loose injector problem?

it's not the actual filter one removes, but the fine mesh/gauze strainers that have proven in service to be too fine... In reality they're not really needed anyway, I can't ever...

Hi James

I don't want to burn the starter out. With my current budget, that would write the car off.
I never run a starter under load for more than 15 seconds at a time. As a rule of thumb, if the starter is too hot to hold in your hand, you're doing damage. With diesels and their high compression, that works out around 15 seconds cranking and 15...
