after working on my 96td xantia today i had the suspension on high but when i dropped it down it wouldn't come back up, so i got some lube on the height corrector linkage (the plastic ball joint appears to be ok) and worked it with the pliers but now its stuck on its highest setting, if i pull the lever back with the pliers i can get the back end...

the thing is i don't realy have the gear or the time at the moment to get it sorted so i'm taking it to a garage tomorrow for them to have a look, they have qouted me £95.00 plus vat if it does need replacing which seems cheap as the part from andy spares is 85.00 plus vat.

Aux Drive Belt: Haynes??

First post

Page 1B:13 Shows the tightening of the aux drive belt on a 19 l engine, but on the same page it shows a different way of tightening it, which requires jacking the car up, taking the wheel off and going in from underneath.

Can anyone tell me the correct way for the Xantia TDS LX (Diesel), non air con, 1995? Please.

Last post

There is no way from the bonnet/engine compartment, your choices are from directly underneath with wheel on or (easiest) through the wheel arch with wheel off.

Hydractive II on 1998 SX Xantia??

First post

Did this happen or was it still only on VSX models? Parkers guides (uk) mentions nothing of hydractive 2 on the facelift models. Any info would be great.

Thanks
Deian

Last post

Hydractive was definately only fitted to VSX and Exclusive models in the UK .

But, Citroen had a nasty habit of supplying different spec on the same model in a different country. It is possible that a grey import SX, or private import SX, even one sourced on the continent (but RHD) may have a foreign spec.

I have 2.2 SX and I am wondering how long should it take to clear windscreen of frost in the mornings.Outside temp -6c to -4c.
when I press the switch for the windscreen the fan almost stops, It then increases in speed as the engine warms up. I usually have to clean the windscreen with a scraper.
Thanks in advance

I would guess at about half an hour, if at all.

There's nothing faster at clearing ice than a scraper (and a good pair of gloves).

Heated front windscreen comes close but AFAIK Citroen don't do them.

Not sure if it's of any interest to anyone but I went to GSF today and came away with N45710 for the bearing and T45707 for the strut top mount.

I can get one from the scrappy but not sure the cost and shipment. Perhaps shipment is cheaper as Malaysia is nearer to NZ.
Hi John,

Thanks for the offer. I should have posted an update to this thread as since the original post I have found one in New Zealand after all, so assuming it doesn't leak like the original one (I havn't seen or tested...

Xantia Climate Control Problems

by BonceChops » 28 Feb 2006, 23:48

First post

I know not this problem again your all thinking.
This one is a little odd though. I am missing the 12V supply to the fan unit - as a temp fix I have connected a cable to the 12V fan supply so this is ok, it leaves fuse 20 but never gets to the fan. Anyone know of any connectors for this anywhere please? The original cable goes up towards the top...

Sorry for what may be a vague and possibly not relevant reply as it relates to a ’95 not aircon car.

Blower fan became intermittent and then pack up on our Xantia ’95 td. Couldn’t work it out as I appeared to have 12v in all the right places, including out to the fan but irtr wasn’t working. Assumed ignition switch wasn’t up to carrying the...

Xsara Heater

by fatbugger » 01 Mar 2006, 19:44

First post

Hello all

Hope you can help.

Wifes Xsara has developed a fault with heater blower.
Will only work on highest position on switch. This is the
same on both recirculated and normal i.e switch turns
clockwise for normal airflow anticlockwise for recirculated flow.

Is there any resistor? could switch be faulty? motor faulty?
any ideas please?

Last post

If it looks like this, with a bit of luck the fuse went.
It's meant to be a 170ºC thermal fuse.

When Volkswagen was banging on about the PD system they were saying that it had a major advantage was that the pressure it used was higher than common rail systems. At the time common rail systems were only running at 20000 psi (1350 bar) where as the common rail system could run at one and a half times that pressure, i.e. 30000 psi (2000 bar). So...

Oil leak HDI

Just changed my front pads . Whilst car jacked up notice that I could see oil just above the pwer steering gaiter . SO this would be on the drivers side of engine . It is not steering fluid. Where can this oil be coming from , Does not seem to be losing oil . I had the crank pulley done before christmas , No reports of oil leak. I would imagine...

So then is it worth getting the leak sorted on next belt change . In about 5000 miles., or will the leak just reappear.

Went to get a belt yesterday - didnt have the right one.

If one place doesn't have it, another will. They're standard industrial belts, so can often be obtained more cheaply at places such as Bearing Man f you have one near you. Just find the reference stencilled on the existing belt, and quote it to them.

How interchangeable are turbos

by busbuddy » 28 Feb 2006, 22:29

First post

looking at this '96 xantia td engine I've got and I've started searching for spares.
I've got a garrett t2 454131-2 turbo and whilst the peugeot and xd cars share the same engine and ancillaries the turbo id number is different.
Can the xd turbo 454027-1 turbo, for example, be used on my engine or is it a big no-no.
Can't see why there are loads...

Last post

Garrett and KKK are interchangeable provided that you use the right steel oil line, another difference seems to be that on BX the pressurised outlet is held on by a hose clip, Xantia/306 seem to have a 2 bolt flange here.

Stupid oil question

I'm about to do an oil change on my Xantia 1.9 TDSX and my brain has come to a halt over a very simple issue.

Mulitgrade oil gets thicker when its hot right? and thin for easy starting when its cold? Right?

So why does it say to warm the engine up before draining the oil :?

Or did I get that all wrong about multigrade oil?

Last post

Oh crap
Nothing to worry about, Castrol GTX is an API SG oil, as the owners’ handbook says to use.
If there was no GTX 2 & 3 at a place with a fairly large selection, it’s an indication that there’s no sufficient requirement for them.
I have travelled twice around Australia and through the centre using GTX in my old bombs with hydraulic lifters....

Has anyone ever gone on a charm offensive to Citroen to get a proper computer printout of all the main dealer work done on their car?

Anyone know whether they can be got for free if the right moment was...

Anyone got any experience of this, I know Citroen did an LPG version of one of the newer xantia's, but has anyone done an aftermarket LPG job on the 2.0 engine? Can't think why not.

I think the idea is good, better economy than the diesels with 135bhp (quoted by parkers price guides). Ok so you may get less horsepower, and ok so LPG isn't as...

Over the last few months I've been experimenting (and spending far too much money :oops: ) with the handling of my ZX 16v. I just thought I would share my findings with you.

Warning - not everyone is going to approve of treating a Citroen like this, but to me it's just a car, not a work of art that needs to be preserved.

So far I've added......

yeh it did get me thinking, Zx's certanly the same as 306 D Turbos. I think the passve rear steering is just that it allows a few mm of movement sideways, nothing huge.

All right then -

As I started to postulate all TD's have intercoolers - there would always be some of you reminding us that this or that model never had intercooler.
This intercooler pulled the thread off track.
