So why won't it work :twisted:
Well, have you tried the programing procedure ?

Does the red light on the side of the plip work ? If you have a digital camera, try pointing the infrared LED on the plip into the camera, this will show you whether it is working or not.

There is a little bit of debate on the best procedure, but here is the one that...

I've just got one more question.
How to connect tweeters?
Which of these two is + and which one is -?

its the hatchback not estate
not yet bled brakes as car has cut out refusing to start outside the shop i went to for the lhm boo prompting me to post another problem

Wheeler, I've got it running on Vista 32 bit virtual machine inside Win 10 64 bit. I gave up trying to do a full install - it takes forever, and kept falling over - I just did the partial install, then I've got the DVDs on the PC as ISOs, and mount them virtually with Alcohol 120% which only takes a few seconds.

None of them on my front doors !.

As per handback and described by your good self Paul, I'm getting my old laptop looked at and possibly upgrade with extras, so Diagbox works well.

Thats good to hear. The Hdi is a very good engine, and I've always found them to be reliable. Glad I could be of help. :)

Thanks for your reply. If I disconnect the maf the car has even less power and goes in to limp mode and won't rev above 3000rpm. I took a video of what I scanned on the live data. I didn't scan the dpf data, I do have a warning about the additive system and additive levels, when the additive was topped up some years ago we couldn't get the...

Part no is 037035, £44.08 Fitting time is only 0.7 hours, so it won't break the bank if it does need to be replaced. However, there doesn't appear to be any feed back from the valve, so not sure what is going on there.... perhaps the fault or code is something else.... What symptoms? The vanes on these turbos can gum up - check you can push down...

It's working now bypassed the original wiring with my self made wiring (4mm2) direct from battery with 100A fuse to glow relay and to glow plugs.

here is one picture:

Wiring looks tight but, in real a lot of slack.

A bit further East than Winnersh...Wokingham.

Welding done, very tidily too, need to get it painted now and investigate inside both cills and the rubber grommet/bungs with a view to Waxoyling / Dinitrol or something similar to prevent further degradation.

MOT failed on the one item I didn't check, front brake flexi hoses :(

Sorted now and...

Ive disconnected the battery for 15mins and reconnected and the oil warning has now gone. Just concerns me abit as to where all the oil had gone in 1700miles with no visible signs on leaks etc.

Top job....

The buzzing when the immobiliser coding in the ECU is wiped is a known consequence unfortunately. Not much can be done about it easily so best to live with it.

The best you might do is disconnect the sounder inside the instrument pod...

Which fuse do i control?

They're 5A fuses...

Check the all the 5A fuses in the cabin fusebox... I'm not sure which it is but if you check them all you'll be covered ;)

Need valve adjustment still. Engine idles very rough sometimes.

uff ok going to refit 16mm then.

There are PDF copies of most of the XM MK2 factory service manual floating around in cyberspace. The one that I have seen includes all the ES9 service procedures.

Ah nice one Jim!

Yeah black side is pickup hopefully you have put it the sensor side I'd re-check that's correct first! Unless obvious damage to speed sensor or wiring

all sorted for £14 (bolts) and a set of pads (and a case of beer for a friend!

Hi, Thank you for that kind advice, I'll check the wiring although it has been garaged all of it's life in a dehumidified area. ..... and yes I had not thought of a faulty sensor, good point. I'll do those checks first and report back.
Thanking you again for your time and thoughts - Much appreciated.

They do really suit it and sit nicely in the arch, I concur with multispoke wheels being a pain to clean, mine are a Nightmare, look great when done but 2 mins later, minging! (tsw pace painted ford panther black with a little rainbow flake added! ;-))

The one I replaced last week on my xantia was different to the standard one, the housing and control unit differed. However the basic motor and fan blades were the exact same so I dismantled it and made one good which works perfectly out of the two.

You won't get an OEM one that's for sure! But there are suppliers like these in the link that will fit one from Webasto ranging from £300 to £1500 depending on the type you want. This link also contains videos of the various types.

Yes, that's correct as per the procedures, but it also gives you a choice of doing this with and without the diagnostic kit. There are many members here with Lexia clones, but there are a lot that don't have this kit, so we try to keep it as practical as possible :wink:

Not sure about if other gearboxes would fit but you could just replace the sychro's as long as there's not excessive swarf inside the box!. not too expensive if you can carry out the repair tho

In your position I'd stick to like-for-like - although what it comes out of isn't really important as you can use any of your ancillaries that are different.

If you do go to a 2.8 (or any other lump that'll fit) get one that's as complete as poss. to put you in best position to mix'n'match ancillaries, mountings, cables, connections, etc.

CitroJim: Yea I run my 806 on veg. The pump in question is in a Dispatch, and I'd quite like to continue vegging in that

Pug_XUD_KeenAmateur: The '94 hit a deer a couple of years ago and caused a lot of damage to the front - lights, slam panel, bonnet all bent and smashed, radiator leak, and stopped the engine from running. We think it's the fuel...

My take on why the relay sticks on short circuit is that the extra current the shorted plug would draw is causing the relay contacts to arc and weld themselves together temporarily.

It's a fault I've had on other types of relay, both automotive and domestic (PIR security light stuck on, give the sensor housing a good rap with a screwdriver and it...

I don't believe it (well I do really,!), I looked there but not hard enough - it's so tiny! The image wouldn't have helped much.

Anyway... the sun came out this afternoon after my previous post so I dug out the trolley jack (NOT a job for the workshop - water and muck on the floor to be cleared up - not polite or politic to abuse hospitality) and...

Aye, aye here we go again!

Pug 205 GTi? - as (according to my notes) front suspension and hubs*, etc are 205 although I'm inclined to start with discs on the back.

* wish I'd known that when I spent forever trying to source a hub carrier.

I was surprised when looking through a catalogue that listed such things recently, at how few sizes there were - & that the length is material, rather than application, specific.

Can you confirm, or not, whether your setup uses a 6 pin connection? I have a horrible feeling that the PhII Xsara has more pins as it can display information for doors open, etc.

Mine is the standard 18 pin setup as used on the MFD Type A or Type B. Thanks for the note about the Haynes diagram, I'll take a look at the Berlingo version.

Some info on those wires here:

Given how these work, I doubt that is the fault, but it will cost nothing to take the battery out and have a look!

I note earlier that Marc had found a wiring diag for yours that seemed to show it via the alarm; but service.citroen seems to indicate no alarm? It should be possible to check if you've got 12V on the...

I think there might be insurance issues with moving from a 7 seater to an 8 seater. ISTR reading that they are treated differently.

Apart from which, how many seats does the V5 say are fitted?

Or even good enough to keep? ;)

It's an option granted but there's a few reasons to sell.
I've not used it nearly enough since getting our new daily driver. Partially down to faffing with child seats. Kids mean I'm not going out alone either. My current commute is train usually.
The car needs a little TLC I don't have time for now and now it's...

Don't have a working diesel compression tester right now, I'll do a relative compression test on it with the scope and try get another tester on monday

Well my charger's clips would not stay on the positive terminal so I had to remove the battery and charge in the garage.

The plastic battery tray is an awful idea but snaps easily. The battery was such a tight fit I broke the plastic securing clip in removal.

More importantly the battery is charged and the car is working fine. I will set the...

What eventually happened about this Boris?

OK i got the car back.
He fixed almost everything.
dimlights, flashes, trail lights now work!
The only thing that isn't working is the flashing when you remotely lock and unlock the car. Everything else works.
There exists a little language barrier, he tried to explain that ''a line was weak and he fixed that''. He said when i later called him...

A Poll will be created later today which will run for a fortnight. As no further time and effort will be expended on taking this work further at present, the Forum structure will be returned to the previous state so that posts are not split into several locations for longer than is necessary.

A revised announcement and the Poll will be posted...

Hello everyone. I am in a process of buying a used car. That is an advanture in Serbia where i`m from. A lot of imported cars and a lot of shady dudes selling them. My first wish was new Renault Megane but unfortunatelly it`s out of my price range. Best one for my level is C4. After a long browsing i found two C4`s that caught my attention. One is...

Once you have the new sensor coded and activated all should return to normal.
