Got to tell you guys this. When I was driving Manky the TDZX she would have the fans cut in when she was hot. When you turned the ignition off if the fans had been on only one would carry on. This was according to my local Cit dealer a cooloing fan for the oil cooler that was fitted. Could this be the same thing you've got ?

I'm not familiar with the Xantia, but had a BX a few years ago. I would assume the only place for air to get in is going to be on the suction side of the system, which is going to be between the reservoir and the hydraulic pump.

The link is too short because its meant to operate the height corrector and the height you've got your car at now is either too high or too low.

The height corrector ball should move but you're working against quite a strong spring and its at one if its extremes so you might not be able to move it by hand. The way I sorted this out the last time...

I recently replaced the drivers side drop link on my 1994 1.9d xant lx. I replaced it due to some knocking noises I was getting on the drivers side, whenever I went over a bump or drove over a fairly rough surface. Problem is, it didnt improve the noise. Ive had a look around the drivers arch, cant see much. The only thing I noticed is that the...

Add in Loose subframe, anti roll bar support bearing, engine mount, loose bumper and other trim just for starters.

Incidentally the handbrake cable should be secured so that it doesn't touch the wheel. I think this will sound a bit like a driveshaft joint failure if it contacts the wheel.

Now that my Xantia Activa is working correctly, i want to keep the miles down on it, currently doing around 1000 a month, for fuel and because its so special i want it to last longer!

Last post

Whether you think the extra expense and complication of Hydractive 2 is worthwhile or not is a matter of personal taste.

However if you already have an Activa look at it this way - Hydractive 2 is the same as the Activa minus the roll corrector and rollbar rams, so you gain many of the same benefits.

Therefore it has an automatically selected...

intermitantly my xantia tds (1995) makes a really loud screeching noise when starting off, it goes after a short while and stops if i go into neutral. I have heard this noise before on other cars too. It had a new clutch about a year ago.

Last post

you should be able to get one from most spares shops
But make sure it's the right one! There are several sizes used on various Xantia models. To make sure, there should be a code on the old belt (may be a bit faded), which is universal for all belt maufacturers.
