Xantia door lock tab

First post

Ok, I've tried following the instructions in Haynes to get the driver's door lock 'tab' (the thing you push down to lock the doors when you're sitting inside the car) back onto the rod coming from the lock but I just can't get it to stay on.

What's the magic trick, or am I just stupid?

Last post

The trick to getting it in the right place is to do it with the door already locked.

Then with the little tang in its free position, you just align the button with the slots in the door card and push the whole lot down as far as it will go and it locks onto the rod in exactly the right place.

First you need to access the connector block feeding the ignition switch. This is behind the steering column trim.

Hi all,

I need to change the timing belt on my '94 Xantia. It's only done 70k miles, so based on age and mileage, is there anything else that I should change at the same time (Tensioner, Idler pulley, water pump)?

Cheers,
Mark

I change the water pump every time I change a belt, I've done 5 up to now and each pump has shown signs of leaking through the vent hole. Not worth the aggro of leaving it and the damn thing leaking a few thousand miles later ](*,)

Could be the pickup sensor is playing up. You may be able to take it off and give it a clean with some carb cleaner/switch contact cleaner. Or if you are a fussy (like my dad :roll: ) buy a new one. Hope this helps - Alex.

Try lubricating the runs that the roof slides over, if you can get at them with the roof tilted, or partially opened.
Whats more likely though, is that the cable is slipping. This is common on XM's, I didn't know Xantias were prone to it too.

The Glass removal is easy, Tilt the sunroof up, then you will see some Torx headed screws, those are the ones holding the glass sunroof in place. Before you undo them, mark around the framework so you know where to put the sunroof back when refitting.

Theory for big end failure?

by alan s » 01 Oct 2005, 03:07

First post

I wouldn't go spending any potential compensation based on that myself as in my opinion, that would have a greater chance of chopping out a main bearing than a big end if it was going to do any damage.
I haven't followed your big end failure, but that is usually caused by oil starvation so a greater possibility may be that they may have drained...

Juddery clutch normally caused by badly aligned face of cover plate ie not pressing down or realising evenly due to incorrect machining or weak fingers on one side big ends dirt ,overheating rod ovality over revving !

1.9 or 1.7 ZX TD?

by RichardW » 26 Sep 2005, 13:31

First post

Adam,
XUD engines come in 3 sizes: 1769cc, 1905cc and 2100cc, badged as 1.7, 1.9 and 2.1 (not sure of the exact number for the 2.1!). 1.7 and 1.9 were both made with and without turbos, 2.1 is turbo only, and has a 12 valve head. 1.7 and 1.9 turbos both make around 90HP, depending on installation - there was no increase in max power for the larger...

You will probably find any that you look at are knocking at the back - new rear subframe mounts will cure this. Avoid any that are creaking at the back, or have negative camber on the rear wheels, in this case, the rear arm bearings are shot, and they're considerably more difficult to change than BX ones. There's a rust trap behind the PAS tank,...

Confused? I am!

On trying to remove the rear arm on the Xantia, I stumbled on a problem - The circlip that holds the rear arm to the suspension link rod (the lever that goes into the hydro unit) has snapped off (somebody been fiddling before me thinks) leaving a fair bit inside. The result is that I cant seperate the rear arm from the suspension link rod. Do you...

ZX Questions. Anyone help please..

Cant remember the exact process but its not too bad to replace them, all mine had gone out and dont think it took that long, if you have a haynes manual its fairly straight forward, just a few screws here and there

Last post

Just goes to show what an amazing mine of knowledge this forum is - where else would you get a step-by-step description of both these jobs, from people who have actually done it themselves - within a few hours?

Truely amazing!

It isn't really going to make any difference at all is it! - After all how often do you hear of an engine siezing from any cause at all or wearing out either. You like the look of the Purflux and think its the best but has anyone done a comparative test to destruction using the other filters? Even if they had and the Purflux came top the others...

It doesent happen on down changes, Its not like...

Check any dampers you've got for stiffness, and check your cable too. The pedal pivots are rather well greased at the factory (at least mine were) so I'm not convinced that will be cause. The other things that can cause stiffness are a dry or frayed cable, or a worn cable outer liner, the cable outer has a plastic liner in it, these tend to get a...

Diesel cats & EGR

Depends on when in 1997 your ZX came to life. In the January tables they were listed as not having EGR/cats but by August, they did have them fitted.

Get one - preferably from '93 or newer. A TD12 (2.1 Diesel) for the most frugal large car ever, a 2.5 TD if you dont like changing gear that often and like blowing away BMW's and Mercs in top gear, a V6 if you just love power and can afford the fuel bill.

A big change occured in '95 - the series 2, both bodywork modifications and even more...

xantia suspension{again}

by citroencharlie » 02 Oct 2005, 21:37

First post

Hi all
thanks for invaluable help with replacing rear spheres, suspension is now great at the back, but now front appears hard at drivers side, passenger side appears fine. Is this a case of replacing front sphere at top of strut? If so is it a hard job?Spheres at front were replaced 20 K ago, would this be normal lifespan?
Cheers
charlie

Last post

Just on one side? even at the usual bounce test?
If so, yes, it needs to be replaced/refilled, but remember to always replace/refill them in pairs (left front/right front, in this case).
How's the pressure regulator ticking?
