by GiveMeABreak » 11 Oct 2019, 16:18

First post

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!

Are there risks in the hydraflush operation?
For instance, if after hydracleaning the Total Hydraurincage is not entirely removed from the system, how dangerous could this be?
If it there's no risk, how about using a permanent a mix of LHM and Hydraurincage (let's say 90/10)?

I had a call from an owner of a Xantia 2.0 CT from a cooler state than the one I live in who has a problem.
It seems that first thing in the morning, the car will wind over but not start for 4 or 5 times. However, once the car has started, it will start normally for the rest of the day.

cd input on rds 3030 radio

by mezuk04 » 14 Mar 2005, 13:01

First post

You would still need batteries to power your walkman/cd player, and it should be as simple as plugging a line in/out cable into the walkman and your head unit. I had a kit from Argos when I first passed my text which a stand that holds my cd player and then just the one cable going into the headunit...as far as I can remember.
Regards

Last post

hoping you can help
my car radio is the 3030/PH1C type with the RDS screen in the middle, and the cassette deck above it.
it has the cd input on the bottom left side, can anyone tell me is it as simple as connecting this to a cd walkman using a single wire? Also would i need batteries in the walkman or would power be supplied.
TIA

Windscreen Washer pump / jets

by mezuk04 » 14 Mar 2005, 14:33

First post

Same happened with mine last year, it just kinda died. So went to the scrappers and picked one up for about 50p, replaced it under the drivers wheel arch and no problem...I would do that first before you make more work for yourself.

Hello Poeple

BX Pick Up Conversion? Uh?

by mpr1956 » 14 Mar 2005, 03:40

I don't fancy it much, but I'm very impressed that somebody went ahead and did it!! I wonder if that roll bar retains all the body strength though -as my BX saloon bodyshell didn't seem that rigid. I hope somebody buys it and looks after it... we need these off the wall types who are prepared to be a little different. Just like that amphibious CX...

Auto-adaptive gearbox oil change?

by Stempy » 14 Mar 2005, 02:07

First post

These boxes have an oil wear meter which works by counting heat cycles. When it decides it has done enough counting it will enter a fault code and the sport/snow lights will flash. If you change the oil the ecu won't know and will keep counting. The counter can only be reset with the analyser wotsit at the dealer. This doesn't really matter if you...

Hi all
Can anyone out there tell how often is it recommended to change the oil in the post 97 V6 24V auto-adaptive gearbox.

if it starts and runs well,returns good economy, i would leave it as it is.
you might cause promlems if you alter the breathing system.

Hi, the question is about rubber hoses attached to inlet manifold of 88 BX retrofitted with manual-choke Weber 36 TLP carb instead of original automatic Solex 23/34. As I bought the car with this carb, I do not know the history of this change. It may help to say that the BX was originally intended for Swiss market and that engine code is BAY. I...

Xantia ABS ECU

Do a search on 'Xantia ABS resistance' and you will find loads of info.

Last post

Does anyone have a circuit diagram (or can advise)for the ABS ECU to the ABS sensors? I am trying to measure the resistances of each sensor by checking at the ECU end, but can't tell where each connector blade is going. I'm doing this before taking the car to Citroen for a diagnostic

Which model of the Xantia do you own ?
Is it petrol or diesel, how old is it, and what mileage has it done ?
Is this the first, and only time it has done this ?

Hope you guys can give me some pointers. I,ve had no problems at all with performance etc. However this morning when I,ve gone to start car, it was hard to start, stuttered, smoked a bit, then I noticed that the diagnostic light has come on.
This light goes off when I rev it.
Money is tight at the present, so any advice as to what servicing,...

Why does my Xsara not suck?

Its probably got a vent system that works. may even be in the cap - some used to have vents in them - probably illegal now!

Most cars I own all suck in air when you release the petrol cap. Not my Xsara. Is this normal or do I have a vacuum problem?

Interesting - it must be hidden elsewhere as the things cant function without one. Of course no FDV if no power steering.

sounds like the heater resistor is faulty inside the heater assembly.
the dash bulbs have gone by the sound of it in the heater control and instrument cluster.a bit tricky to do if you havent done any before.
not sure about your last question?,can you describe it a bit better?

Okay, I have just today got my first ZX Aura 1.9D and OMG it was such a nice drive home. Covered 315 miles today and loved every second of it. It sticks to the road like glue and does not do what my Mondeo done! (tiped up leaving 3 wheels on the road) when taking a roundabout at 50MPH at night.

AX intermittent starting problem.

by tonespeed1999 » 13 Mar 2005, 02:56

First post

the starter motor is directly under the air filter assembly.
the first thing is to make sure the battery is 100%.
make sure there is a 12v feed at the starter solenoid when the ignition key is turned to the starting position.

Hello, need some more help on my girl friends 1993 AX, 1.0.
It has a real funny intermittent starting problem. You will drive it and then park up. Go back to start the car and nothing. The starter doesn't spin, no click, but the battery light on the dash dims when turning the key. I tested the battery and it had a full 12V. Then waited an hour...
