C5 Emission light

by silverback » 14 Jan 2006, 19:51

First post

My father in law's HPi (petrol) C5 has the service warning light on the dash come on along with the engine light.
The display on the dash also says 'anti polution' as well.

I have driven the car, and it's smooth and goes well beyond limp home speeds, although it's no-where as quick as my Xantia hdi.

Does anyone have any ideas as to what is...

Last post

The car was taken to a local Cit man in Wolverhampton who cleared the computer memory.
The warning light is now off and everything seems fine.

He did say that the diagnostic pointed to a coil (??), and that if the light comes on again it will have to be replaced.

Thanks for the replies guys. :)

ABS sensor type

by windysurferuk » 15 Jan 2006, 17:50

First post

Hi

Bought an ABS sensor from an 'R' reg Xantia to replace a faulty one on my R reg.

When I came to swap them over they where diffrent.
can any one confirm if this is the correct type for an 'R' reg as it is diffrent from the one fitted on my car

I'm trying to work out if my car has the earlier type fitted :?

Last post

Just fitted the sensor from the facelift model and set the gap using washers.

( The only difference between the one on my car and the second hand one is the thickness of the bit where the bolt goes)

Started the car and drove round the block and the light when out :D

It now seems to be working as it should. The light comes on when I first start...

If it's Dexron3 get it out fast.

Dexron fluids are all different as D1 - D2 & D3 come from different bases so much so that recently we've discovered that Dex3 in BX autos (designed to operate on Dex2) will totally stuff them within 80 - 120K klms.

Hello All,

Thanks firstly to all who chipped in with advice on what might be wrong with my lights and immobilizer keypad.
As it turns out they both receive their power from the same wire which had rotted through just under the radiator. I am not surprised it rotted as the insulator (white) looks like something from a 1950's Rowenta iron.
Anyhoo,...

If you search here you'll find remarkable few incidences of gearbox problems and I think the general consensus is that whats recomended will do a perfectly good job and that there's little point in putting in anything else.

Haynes gives some info but there is a great deal more - for example some estates have different 4th and 5th from their saloon equivalent.

What to look for when shopping for a Xantia ?

by arnonf » 10 Jan 2006, 23:37

First post

Hi all,

I've found a '99 Xantia 1.8i 16v (no hydractive) that I'm thinking of buying. It hasn't been driven for the past five months. The car creaks and groans when climbing to the highest suspension state, but other than that, everything seems to be OK.

Are these creaks a sign that it should be avoided ? Or is this simply an issue of...

Last post

Don't pay too much – my 98 Xantia 1.8i was £600 from a sole trader with 12 months' MoT when I bought it last month. It needed a cambelt change and oil change, but apart from that it was ready to go with a full service history.

Since the general public don't want petrol Xantias, you don't have to pay much. The 1.8i isn't quick, but overall, it's a...

Hi!
I lost my front height corrector, and a new one in israel cost about ALOT.

can you please help me find a cheap site that is able to send to israel citroen parts?

Yes,

They do have a shelf life, however it depends on the type of sphere, the ambient temperature, and also there seems to be a large random element to it.

The multilayer diaphram spheres used on the front suspension of some Xantia's (with the three dimples around the filler cap) last a very long time - even in use they can last as much as 5...

Hi, I had a slight mishap with my fan motor while it was on the shelf in the garage i knocked it off and broke 11 plastic fins of the fan. Can you buy a replacement fan as the motor part actually still works 100% , if not i will have to get another

Last post

Looked it up on PR-net. You can only get the motor and fan as an assembly. Note its slightly different AC/none.

Confession time!

Tried to change the timing belt on my Xantia 1.9TD estate yesterday. All went fairly well- OK the usual joy of moving thousands of pipes and odd bits of plastic just to reach an obvious nut/bolt etc! Until it came to removing the covers. Suffice to say they came off, but won't be going back on again....... (cold day, brittle...

My son has built an autograss car with a Cosworth dry sump 215BHP engine. He thought it looked cool with everything whizzing around on view. After one lap? one wrecked engine after a stone beat up the cam belt!

Finally found the forum again, - thought it was lost in Cyberspace. Many thanks to all who've kept it going. I'm about to use hydraflush on my Xantia 1.9TD and have come across several references to a step by step guide on another forum by AnderS at the following address:

Xantia Brake Bleeding

by steviewonder7 » 09 Jan 2006, 12:18

First post

Hi Folks,
I've heard of a method for bleeding the brakes on the Xantia where you need another person to operate to brake pedal(whilst engine running).I have a 'mityvac' brake bleeding kit and was wondering if it was possible to use this piece of kit(it being a one man band kit) instead of the method mentioned above.
Can anyone for any known reason...

Thanks for the idea Peter,I'll probably give that a go.I've got about 4 litres of spare LHM fluid so that should keep me going.I've got a feeling I'll need them
because the other day I emptied and cleaned the Lhm reservoir and didnt like what i found-that being dirty Lhm fluid and two LHM filters with small holes in them and covered in thin...

Hi

Does anybody else on the forum find that their heater seems to get hotter when they go around a right hand corner? - (that sounds odd doesnt it!)

im sure its bled properly - ive opened the bleeded or the supply pipes a number of times and water comes out straight away.

The heater is always hot but it just seems to be hotter or have more flow...

Hello everybody...

quik question about zx td radiators -

i noticed after a longish drive this morning that the top of my radiator was cold to the touch but the bottom was warm / hot. The temp gauge was reading 80-85 degrees (the engine was still running.

The radiator is new and the system has been bled a number of times after it was fitted. The...

Last post

8304,

When you say bleed the system as you've said in this topic and others, are you doing it correctly as laid down in the Haynes manual.

If not, as its been said so many times in the past, rather than type it out all again, Its best to do a search on the forum or get hold of a Haynes manual, on how the proper procedure should be done, not just...

Wohoo! I finally had the time to do it. I followed the BOL and besides the jack front of the car typo, everything was as the manual said.

Only thing is, I had to remove the box silencer and since the exhaust is 11 years old, the tube broke and had to get it fixed :shock: since I made more noise than a 747 at take off :)

My father told me that...

When I did mine the top bolts must have been there since the car was built, jeez they were tight, all the way out too, nothing like new shocks to make a car (or Bike) feel good though.
