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...

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!

you could always try one of those resistor things that you find people scamming on ebay, supposed to make the car run rich.
Remove the air filter and take the air in from as high as possible to prevent crap being sucked in to your engine also take as much of the interior out as you can.

Xantia rear (swing) arm bearings replacement

by Peter.N. » 11 May 2005, 15:18

First post

It depends on your level of expertise. Dismantling is fairly straightforward until you try and get the remains of the bearings out of the arm, but if you have a welder there is an easy way. Run a line of weld around the inside of the bearing outer casing, which will be securley jammed in, when it cools the casing will shrink and you will be able...

Hi Andrew, I did my rears on the hdi (one was down to the backing and sounding lovely! The other was fine-are yours wearing uneven?

My apologies..

ZX water pump replacement, how hard?

If this is an XU engine, which I believe it is, the answer is a pain in the backside as you have to remove the cambelt to get to it. If you're removing the belt, then it's worth changing it, as they are cheap, and the main pain is the labour. Sorry!

Heat exhanger removal, any ill effects?

by fastandfurryous » 10 May 2005, 14:17

First post

I think someone has got this all rather wrong. The Oil/coolant heat exchanger is absolutely essential on a TD engine. During engine warm up it uses coolant heat to get the oil up to temperature faster than it would get there on it's own. Once up to temperature, the Exchanger keeps the oil temperature between 10 and 20 degrees hotter than the...

Last post

My mech suggesting removing the heat exhanger (HE) where oil filter is attached to. This is because my XTD engine is stressed when going uphill, oil temp up to 130C and coolant temp to 102C.

Now another problem - excessive Black smoke

by Peter.N. » 10 May 2005, 15:34

First post

If the fuel regulator screw is doing its job you must be able to get the smoke down by unscrewing? it, as it should be able to cut the fuel level down to far less than you need. If you have boost pressure there must be plenty of air arriving, cant think of any other reason for black smoke than excessive fuel, unless the timing is retarded.

Your BX has been checked a couple of times by your trusted mechanic - so I really doubt any safety matters has been overlooked.

Indeed Sire, your BX does indeed smoke, black. I have followed it. It did seem to go well for an N/A though. I suggest a dose of injector cleaner. It does seem like the pump has been tampered with as the yellow paint and seal seem to be missing!
I will await Mr Burns arrival as to putting it right again.

The beastie has a little problem. Under moderate to hard acceleration it produces a fair amount of black smoke. Air and fuel filters are 2000 miles old. I feel the previous owner has had a tinker and increased the fuelling to find a bit more performance as the anti-tamper seals are missing.

Quick question

by AndersDK » 08 May 2005, 04:49

First post

I dont think the TU range goes higher than the 1.4L (1.360L that is) in displacement.
The 1.6L displacement would be an XU variant - like XU5xx.

Last post

if the TU3MC is the 1.4 Single pont, what is the 1.6 SP? TU3LZ??

HP pump noise

by AndersDK » 08 May 2005, 03:45

First post

This is perfectly normal - indicating the regulator is loading the pump every once a minute - topping up to maintain a steady system pressure of approx 160bar.

Hi there, I've been putting this off as I'm sure I'm not going to like what I hear... My Xantia has never clicked since I had it ( 6 months) it just makes a strange sucking noise for a second or so, but everything works fine apart from that... and there is a good minute or so between these strangled noises since I changed the acc sphere... Can...

Does the ZX 16v have a MAP sensor?

by SSidhu » 09 May 2005, 00:37

First post

Yes the ZX 16V has a MAP sensor but it is built in the ECU

I have just been asked if I had a MAP sensor for the ZX 16v I am breaking. Was I completely wrong to say, No, I don't think it does!!

Straight jacket for BX owners?

by AndersDK » 08 May 2005, 03:00

First post

On my late CX - which had exactly the same type winder mechanism - I found out that the whole mechanism had to be adjusted in the mounting screw holes.
Finally one summerday I had enogh of the motor jamming and cutting out on the window's way up (my driver's - LHS - side). I then found out the scissor mecanism could be adjusted slightly in the...

Last post

One of my sons has a TZi that has always been a pain to wind the drivers window up on. It moaned and groaned when it went up and whilst it came down alright, it never seemed all that happy to me. Eventually it stopped altogether and conveniently enough in the closed position.
He was stopped by a private in the local Gestapo for a breath test a few...

XMV6SI cutting out fuel multiplug or relay?

by SSidhu » 09 May 2005, 00:51

First post

The culprit is the mutiplug under the LHM tank you will have to bridge some wires together and solder them for apermanent fix..
The inj relay is located in front of the ECU..blue wires are fuel
pump relay but some later models use brown double relay..

Last post

Hi,
Strange phenomenon car stops going anytime it feels like might be on roundabout going uphill or parked and wont start. Spoke with friendly mech who said there is a multiplug behind/below LHM reservoir which can go into meltdown and he has replaced these especially on 2.0. I went through old bills and found one for the replacement of fuel...

Xantia Handbrake

by AndersDK » 08 May 2005, 02:37

First post

On a '94 I'd say there is a fair chance it's general rot in the rubber parts of the fuel lines tank to engine.
Rubber bulb itself sometimes has perished.
Never ever park your car leaving it in neutral. No matter a Cit or not.

Last post

Hi there.
An embarrassing first post, as today my '94 TD SX Xantia decided to roll-off on it's own. Luckily it was in my father in laws drive, and even more luckily his new X-Trail stopped it going into a hedge.. At times like these you find out a lot about tolerance levels. Nobody hurt though. My father in law swears he will never park near...

BX 1.7 TDR Leaking overfueling device

by oilyspanner » 08 May 2005, 01:23

First post

From memory I think theres an O ring in there and possibly a diaphragm.
Stewart

Last post

hiyas, got a Lucas Cav/Roto-diesel injection pump that seems to be leaking from the front plastic cap on the overfuelling device - any ideas on this one. Is it a matter of changing the whole pump for one from a scrappy, or can it be repaired?

Mysterious air leaks?

Blocked fuel filter? check filter for water as this can cause engine to race and mess about.

Goodevening!
I have become quite familiar with air leaks in the fuel system of my BX trd turbo. In the past I replaced the valves in the (bosch) filter housing as well as the priming pump membrane and all the rubber seals. As a precaution I replaced recently the leak off pipes (the fuel pump is a Lucas/rotodiesel). Last year I did not experience...

Rear suspension leak

by AndersDK » 08 May 2005, 02:49

First post

Can you clean the area for a better diagnosis ?
Ideally there should not be any leaks from the gaiter. But some LHM is designed to bypass the bore/piston seal to keep it lubricated. This is the rearmost (towards cylinder) leak off pipe from the gaiter.
The front most leak off pipe is aereation of the bellow - ends dead end inside the rearframe...

Last post

LHM - or rather Hydraflush - is leaking from a (so far only slightly) perished part of the rubber gaiter next to the rear suspension unit clip rod. What's the prognosis? Presumably the gaiter is there to keep the dirt out and not keep LHM in, so is this likely to mean a new rear unit

Most Xantias I meet are running without the cover, many people dont put them back properly after work on the car, you will not have a problem.
Stewart

Last post

Yesterday, on highway, driving 130 km, I've heard terible noise which ressambles flat tire. I've pulled over and looked and found out that plastic? protective cover which is below the motor simply broke up. I have removed remaining parts. My mechanic is convincing me that I could freely drive without it but I am concerned. Any comments?

Xantia Outside temp sensor.

First post

These out temp sensors use to go open circuit somewhere in the wiring - gauge then reading steady high.

Does anybody know anything about the outside temp sensor that I think is fitted under the mirror, Display always reads 43C give or take 1 degree either way, didn't bother me at first now it irritatating.

Weird ride heights on Xantia TD 1995.

by JohnT » 07 May 2005, 20:32

If I drop the suspension completely down, and raise again to normal height, the front rises quite high but the back does not! If I select the maximum height it will eventually rise. If I then drop it to normal driving height it stays OK. What is the fault here please?

Berlingo Multispace as a long term prospect?

by tomsheppard » 07 May 2005, 20:37

First post

If you think that a three year old car is likely to be unable to run to 100,000 at five years old-
What the heck are you doing considering another car from the same manufacturer?
For what it is worth, there are many 2.2 HDI C5s out there with over 100K miles on the clock.

Last post

I'm not convinced my C5 2.2HDI SX estate will carry me reliably through another two years and 50,000 miles (to five years and 100k), so I'm thinking about trying something else. The Berlingo Multispace 2.0 HDI has all the space I'll ever need and is cheap as chips, so potentially has a lot going for it. What do you Multispace owners think of its...
