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!

C5 interior

by Forevertonian » 20 Oct 2019, 23:21

First post

I've just bought a 57 plate C5 VTR 6 speed 1.9 turbo diesel.
I'm very happy with it, loving the hydropneumatic suspension.
I'm tempted to change the interior for a leather one, but is it an easy job?
The leather seats have all kinds of features in them, will they just bolt in and utilise the same block connector and not need coding etc?
PS....

Last post

I changed the seats in my Mk1 some years ago for leather electric ones and all the wiring was already under the carpet, had to fit another fuse if I remember rightly, don't know if the Mk2 is the same.

As Marc says they don't make a 1.9, it will be a 2.0. although I have seen them advertised as 1.9. I believe they are 1997cc.

Taking my Xantia spheres over to Australia on the plane. Given they're pressurised, and the plane isn't, will they be alright in the hold or do I need to put them in hand luggage?

Last post

Even if the hold is unheated, it's well enough insulated and it and the cargo are of sufficient thermal mass that the internal temperature isn't going to fall to the outside temperature of about minus 50 degrees.

As for the pressure, cabin and hold altitude while cruising is of the order of 8000 feet, about 750 millibars. If the spheres can cope...

Job done and that rattle is cured. Bend the tangs back and also put a dollop of silicon sealant on the bracket too in order to provide a bit of cushioning. New gearbox mount too in.

So I thought of removing the leather bottom cushion and leather back rest...

Xsara blower on (almost) full blast all the time

by AdieuHydropneumatic » 13 Oct 2019, 13:49

Dear Board

Have had a look around here and see that it is most likely resistor failure.

Just wanted to check this observation. Fan is on all the time at constant speed from Auto, 0 then through 1,2 & 3 marks BUT past 4th mark it goes to FULL blast. Would this indicate anything other than a resistor fail?

Thanks

If you do end up with more fan issues, let me know.

I have a whole fan unit I took from a VTS I broke recently on which ive replaced the resistor pack. It's sat in a box of parts in my garage as a spares part.

Parking sensor fault after MOT

First post

Anything obvious that they might have inadvertently disconnected during the test?

Last post

If you have one sensor out it can affect the the whole system.

If you have a Lexia, connect up and run a global test and it will tell you which sensors are faulty (or whether there is another fault).

Before I tell you the manual test, I suggest you go into the boot and check you have not had any liquid spills of any sort! Lift the boot mat and...

I can't be sure what the yellow one is - or the others from a picture - you would need to look at a wire on the insulation and provide a code number.

I think it's a stock issue - my dealer has only fluid DA. Once stocks of LDS go it will only be DA and of course with no more hydraulic Citroens being produced, it makes sense for them to stick to the one label of DA which is used in a lot of PSA steering systems.

Is this possible to do myself and, if so, how would I go about doing it?

Regards,

John

Your C8 has the DW10ATED 110 engine, and build date number is 10468. So was originally filled with Eolys 178 additive and the additive click fit unions should be Green in colour.

You'll need a filling kit (usually 3 litres to ensure you fill it), but make sure you get the kit with the filling connectors, tubes and basket etc. PAT fluid is also...

New remote fob options

by jimmylad007 » 15 Oct 2019, 10:00

First post

Hi. So a few months ago, I lost the remote key to my 2008 C4. The spare I have is a non-remote key, which works fine but I’ve had enough of walking round to the passenger side every time I need to lock or unlock the car.

Have I got any options that will cost me less than £150 to have a new key programmed to the car? I’m not fussed about it...

Just checking - and confirm that the wiring harnesses are different for left and right sides - but I suspect that they cut a few corners here Paul...

The RHD drive C4s from what I can see all have the key barrel lock on the passenger side - so I suspect (and being these are all made in France) that they may of cut a few corners and not bothered...

2005 C3 rear shox replacement come to a halt

by C3Pre Own » 14 Oct 2019, 21:43

First post

Looked like an easy job but unlike the car featured in the Haynes manual, the handbrake cable is in the way of pulling the lower mount off the bolt. I found a Monroe shock absorbers video on youtube in which the bolt was removed to free the shock. That's clearly my way forward but everything seems to be seized/rusted on. Penetrating oil is doing...

Last post

I doubt the bolt is threaded into the arm or the shock - the joys of salty Scottish roads! I doubt that you will be able to get enough heat into the suspension arm to do any good, but you never know. You may end up having to cut through the back of the shock mount to free the shock, and which will then give you unfettered access to get some...

Hi all,
I'm new here so please be gentle with me !!
Engine management light on ..
I've read lots of posts here and elsewhere about the error code p0903 -- clutch circuit actuator high -- but no one seems to have a definate fix for this .
My 51 plate picasso is giving the same problem ---- I let the clutch switch hang, cleared the code and it came...

Last post

Hello again -- long time no see !
Well it's over 2 years now and no repeat of the fault so can safely say changing the MAF cured the problem in this case.
Hope this has helped others with fault codes that don't point to the fault .

Come on you experts!

by Gibbo2286 » 14 Apr 2012, 11:21

First post

Trying to find what this fits so I can stick it on Ebay.

It's a new flexi brake hose in a Citroen/Peugeot bag, part number is 4506.FP, I can't find it on the cloned parts list disc and the new boy in the Citroen dealers couldn't find it on his computer.

So is it a discontinued number or maybe a Peugeot part, gawd knows?

Last post

Back to the clearance, this part is still here.

The label numbers on the pack is rubbed out a bit but I think it's actually 4806F and a number one to nine,

I can find it fits either front brake hose for Relay or C6 on Service Citroen,

Pay for the postage and it's yours.

Xantia exhaust manifold to pipe gasket question

by ksanturion10 » 28 Sep 2019, 00:02

First post

Greetings to all,
I would like to ask if it is possible to replace the exhaust gasket+springs&bolts without removing the heat shield above?
The bolts holding the heat shield are badly corroded and I'm sure, that some will snap, and the extraction would be nearly impossible on a mounted manifold.

Well done, and thank you for the update.

C6 2.7 HDI intake manifold cleaning

Hi Everyone

Well since my car is getting closer to finally arrive (ETA october), I have been thinking of an issue with all modern Diesels and the C6 2.7 and 2.2 for that matter is no exception. Due to the EGR the intake manifold do gunk up. Has anyone ever completely remove the intake manifold and clean it properly? I bet with a simple clean or...

Ah. Great thanks. I will do Hellrazor.

Ok. Just one more question. Turbolag and the 2.7 hdi. Do they have quite a bit and also quite a bit more than the 3.0 hdi? Im slightly dissapointed. Thats why I’d like to clean the intake manifolds. But my idea is shortlived as it seems you need to remove the injectors to remove the intake manifold which...

Hi,

I'd like to fit a water temperature gauge to my Citroen AX.
Would one fit in the same hole as the Overheating Light sender ?
Thanks.

What you are looking for is either of the #11 in the diagram (there are 2 shown), they are blanking plugs that can be removed to fit a standard threaded sensor.

Does the C5 X7 2.0 have the dampened crankshaft pulley like earlier Peugeots?

If so, is there a time (years or mileage) when they are due to fail (roughly)?

Xantia Glow Plugs Stopped Working

by BalloonFish » 27 Sep 2019, 23:26

First post

Hello everyone,

My 1996 Xantia 1.9TD SX suddenly became really hard to start. Here's the full story:

Having always been a good, clean starter the car suddenly became a hesitant starter back in May - needing a bit of churning on the starter, lumpy idle for a few seconds and lots of blue smoke. Had the local Citroen specialist pull the glow plugs...

Last post

Glad you got to the bottom of it in the end. Well done in seeing it through.

A tiny bit of resistance can play havoc with the way high current circuits operate.
Common black spots include main battery connections, starter solenoid and motor, alternator connection, the IGN switch, and good old glow plugs. Oh - and grounding/earth connections.
