Hi jon,
Yes it is a very interfering fit!
You will be hard pushed to drift it out, and heat will set fire to the rubber.

Cut about a mm or two nice and...

BX drive shafts

by Jon » 23 Mar 2005, 00:30

First post

Well, GSF and GKN list them as being different, e.g. a GTi/16v and TD are the same, whereas 16/19/17D and 19D are different. As the gearbox types are basically the same (BE1/BE3) and the hubs are the same, I can't quite see why. The only difference is of course if the car has ABS. I will look into this and report back.

Last post

Is the N/S driveshaft on a BX interchangable between a TD and an N/A?
Reason is my N/A has a noisy CV and I have a good shaft on the turbo donor.

ZX volcane brake compensators

by Kowalski » 22 Mar 2005, 16:15

First post

Yes it would be dangerous to leave them off. Extremely dangerous.
When you've got no load in the rear of the car, the brake compensator reduces rear brake force accordingly. Without them your brake bias would be very rearward and that would mean that the rear brakes would be prone to locking up long before the fronts are doing much braking. It...

Last post

Hello,
On the back of the ZX volcane with discs, there are those compensator things that (i think) limit flow to the back brakes under heavier braking to prevent lockup.
Has anyone ever removed these when replacing a brake line? Have they been known to fail in the closed position? Would it be dangerous to leave them off?
Thanks

Front anti-sink valve is under the LHM tank somewhere, and prone to leaking on later cars AFAIK. Should be a case of depressurise system, removing the pipes, unbolting any mountings and replacing it.

My Wife's ZX has been written off. Insurance company offered £1350 which for a 1.9D with 176,000mls and not in perfect nick isn't bad.

I have a 2001 Picasso 1.8 sx with 30,000 miles on the clock. The auto-diagnostic lamp has recently come on (permanently) and before I book the car into a Citroen garage, I wonder if any members could suggest any reasons for this. The car starts and runs fine. The idle is a little lumpy but not too bad. I have cleaned the MAP sensor and the air...

V6 24v Engine Mounts

First post

Like the song said, it ain't necessarily so. Up to '99 the 60 deg V6 was 194bhp. The power increase was due to the introduction of variable valve timing. Sorry I can't help you with info about the engine mounts.

Last post

Does anybody know if the engine mounts on the 90 degree V6 are the same as the 60 degree V6. I have a V6 24v Citroen XM (1991 original 200bhp version - 90 degree V6), and suspect it to have a leaky Head Gasket, I have been offered a 60 degree V6 24v out of a 406. Would it be a straight forward job to fit it? The one from the 406 is likely to be...

ABS Light

by jeremy » 19 Mar 2005, 12:58

First post

Sounds as though its the sensor lead rather than the sensor itself. The question is which one as clearly these things work when static but some conditions cause the break. In reality its going to be going over a bump - and you may be able to work out which one while driving.
If all fails you can use an audio method (search this site) As yours is...

The ABS light came on today on my way home.Switched the engine off,restarted,no light.Drove off for a mile or so & came on again. .Searching the past topics it would seem to be a wheel sensor.Will have to have a look after Easter when i service it.
Thats 2 lights now,with the airbag light on since Aug last year!Time for some black tape me thinks...

clutch funny slip xantia 1.9td

by Homer » 19 Mar 2005, 02:33

First post

Sounds like the first stages of clutch slip due to wear to me.
It's the traditional way to check. 3rd gear on a slight incline, accelerate hard. If the revs rise out of synch with the speed then the clutch is on it's way out. It will be a while before it shows up from a standing start.

Last post

hi
my clutch works perfect but for some reason if im moving mainly in 3rd if i hit the juice and the turbo kicks in i get clutch slip then it catches, to prove to myself that its not slipping proper iheld on brakes and took revs up before releasing clutch and can stall engine
any body lse got this

Diesel xantia poor starting - solved!

I had the NS front motor go on my BX - (no plip) When I locked it from the drivers door with the key it would immediately unlock. If I locked the NS door with the button I could lock the car.
There are 2 types of motors used - one has internal switches (doors with keys,) others don't (back doors.)
There are other switches in the locks - which can...

For once I'm posting on a forum with an answer rather than a problem!
Apologies if this has been covered before but my xantia has been plagued by intermittent non-starting, especially if parked nose down-hill, and only starting once primed with the handpump. She recently developed a fuel leak which I traced to the rubber return hose (I think...

sticking brake caliper xantia 1.9td 1996

by tonespeed1999 » 19 Mar 2005, 20:51

First post

possibly if the piston has been abused,the self adjusting mechanism at the back of the caliper is damaged!
if the hand brake cable is free etc,i would be tempted to buy a new/2nd hand caliper.
the the brake is sticking slightly the brakes will start to overheat and possibly cause the disc to warp,more expense!!

hi
ive done a good search thru forum but not got a definite answer
changed the pads on sunday and since then my nearside brakes are not releasing, if i give the caliper a belt with hammer it releases,
ive made sure the caliper moves smooth on the pins, what i have noticed is that if i apply the handbrake the caliper doesnt seem to brake correct...

Hydraflush

by paranoid » 18 Mar 2005, 21:38

First post

I left flush in for a couple of months and it did seem to make things more fluid, when the boot was loaded afterwards for example you didn't notice it height correcting as it moves very smooth now.
Worked for me anyway

Hi
I have a problem with my rear height corrector being very sticky.......i had thought it was the linkage seized up,but having spent a long time cleaning and lubricating and checking for correct operation,i have now ruled this out.
It appears that the height corrector itself has a problem.........i have drained the lhm and replaced with...

Body Kits for Xantia Needed

First post

A few companies do Xantia body kits but they're pretty rare, the Xantia doesn't have a big following in the modding community.
The pipework on Xantia hydraulics is all low bore and the pump has a minutely small output so its not really suitable for making the car jump etc. which I assume is what you want it to do.

Last post

Does any body know of any where i can get a good body kit for my xantia iv tried every where, i want something agressive and bit rounder plzzzz help i want to be different and the xantia has every thing i require i.e hydrolics, ppl pay upto 3k to get these babies so i am very gratefull

My Xantia Rear Suspension doesn't go up or down

I point it to be a stuck height corrector.
Releasing it has been aborded many times in the forum, but here goes:
Car down (preferably with the rear on ramps - don't ever get under a hydraulic Citroën, without support, as the car may crash on you and kill you), check for the height corrector, a thingy with several pipes, in the middle of the...

Someone was selling 3 on Ebay the other day. Said they are for series 1 but Jon says fit all except ABS cars - otherwise I might have acquired them.
If you search you will find instructions on here for fitting them. How much you have to remove is open to opinion and some say it helps to drop the rear subframe a bit to get clearance.
