New PSA Heritage Parts for Classic Cars

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...

Last post

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!

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

If you are getting any ammount of pressure in the cooling system its either the head gasket leaking or a cracked head, although it shouldn't be the latter unless its been allowed to boil.

Having just removed both rear drums to check the shoes, I noticed that the offside does not have a thrust washer fitted. Is this normal or has someone previously left it off and is it a part that's easy to come by?
thanks

LHM tank level

by alan s » 05 May 2005, 14:34

First post

I stopped taking notice of those silly gauge things years ago when I was sitting on the side of the road one morning at 5am waiting for one of the family to bring me some fresh LHM when the car sat down on me.
Since then I've beed a big believer in the finger test method.
Set suspension to normal height, remove filler cap from LHM tank, insert...

Last post

Looked at my LHM level this morning and it looks suspiciously low, almost empty, but the gauge shows it as high. When I raised the car to full height the gauge went down, so the gauge isn't stuck. I'm sure I remember the actual tank level being higher when I bought the car than it is now. Is it my imagination?

Xantia sidelight bulb replacement

by Panjandrum » 05 May 2005, 06:52

Just for information. I looked here for suggestions on replacing the driver's side bulb and what I found was enough to put me off for a week or so. Finally did it on Monday.
Indicators out, four torx screws and the weird pushfit doodahs out to take the front trim off, three 10mm bolts on the light fitting off - rest is totally trivial. Refit is...

Is it the blue one?
Thought the wheels really suited it

Last post

On Saturady I picked up my new Daily Driver in the shape of a 1993 Xantia SX TD. This is my first Hydropneumatic Citroen after a few Pug 405 TDs and a Pug 205 GTi
It sports 15 Pug 205 1.9 GTi Speedline Wheels with 195/65 tyres. These are going on my 205 in due course. Are these wheels and tyres the right size for this car or are they too big?...

Xantia Cutting Out While Driving???

could be fuel shut off solanoid starting to die

Last post

Has anyone had the experience of a xant cutting out unexpectedly while driving? The wife was out last night and said the car just cut out and died. At first blamed the wifes driving as it has never happened to me, but just in case does anyone have an idea what could have caused this to happen?

xantia 2.0 8v engine problem!

by fastandfurryous » 04 May 2005, 16:21

First post

If it really is NO compression, then I would suspect a valve to be jammed open. If the compression is just very low, then look at a head gasket. If it is only a bit low, then possibly worn out rings. The only way to be sure is via a leakdown test, which involves piping compressed air into the cylinder via the spark plug hole. You can usually then...

Last post

My Xantia Activa has no compression on No 1 cylinder. I have no loss of oil, no loss of water. All the other cylinders show 75 - 90 ps, as expected for the turbo engine.
Is this engine known for this problem? If yes, what is the problem, gasket, valves, camshaft, etc? I would appreciate a little guidance from those in the know before I start to...

Xantia Fuel Gauge

by fastandfurryous » 04 May 2005, 15:46

First post

Almost all fuel gauges are somewhat non-linear. The only way to be sure of your fuel consumption is to brim the tank and zero the trip-meter. When you next come to fill the tank, brim it again, noting the litres needed to fill and the mileage on the trip meter. You can then get a reasonably accurate guide as to your consumption. 40MPG would be...

Last post

Hi all,
I've just bought my first Citroen after getting rid of a BMW 320i cos it was far too thirsty.
Anyway, I'm worried that my new Xantia TD (99 T reg) is using far too much fuel. Either that or the fuel gauge is lying completely.
I put in 22 litres of juice from almost empty, which made it read 1/2 a tank. It then dropped quite quickly to...

Xantia Rear Headrests

by madmanbob » 04 May 2005, 13:45

First post

Pull them up to the highest position, look at the holes on the seat where they fit into, one has a button that needs pressing at the same time as pulling them out.

Last post

This should be an easy one!!!
On Monday I tried to fold the rear seats of my 1993 Xantia (to take an old door down to the tip).
The handbook simply says Remove the headrests .
As much as I pulled it, pressed or twisted various parts of the mounting it wouldn't come out. Go up and down; yes. Pull out of the seat; no.
Somebody must know the trick....

C5 Estate or Laguna Estate?

Having a C5, all i can say is good things. Very spacious, one can fit practically 2 washing machines in the trunk without leaning the seats, superb ride comfort superior to the Laguna, bigger room inside, and so on...
The only thing wrong i find in my C5 is for some airbag and immobilizer problems, but i think that happens when i turn on the...

I am a Xantia owner but after a new baby need more room and I am torn between investing in a couple of years old C5 estate or Laguna Estate. They both seem to have all I need but I would like help from owners of these cars as to the good and bad points. All opinions would be most welcome.

Are your new link rods all adjusted correctly?
It doesn't matter what you get a gearbox off, as long as its the same BE3 gearbox that the 1.9TD comes with.
Some 1.9 TDs come with a different box, the people carriers and the vans may get that one instead of the BE3, no doubt somebody else will be able to tell you which comes with what.

My passenger side damper has gone to heaven, last weekend I found a very large potholein the freeway. It was dark and I was doing 90 km/h. Fortunetly, only the front wheel hit it but now the damper is dead, it's droping oil. And I replaced both in october!

Xantia Temperature warning light

Don't know how this thread got this title, It was meant to be Xantia Temperature warning light

Last post

Today the temperature warning light (and STOP light) on my Xantia V6 started coming on.
It came on about 5 times, for periods of 10s to 30s, during a 50 miles trip.
The temperature guage was steady at 70, and the fans were running at half speed with the A/C on. Turning the A/C off did not make the warning light go off.
When the engine cooled, I...
