the Toyota, well built but somehow...?

Bland and utterly boring! :-D

Great, thanks for updating us - always good to get the end result and cause!

Personally I would give that engine a miss or else get it into a garage and get the turbo oil feed filter removed. And even have the sump and strainer removed and cleaned.

Indeed, a most useful piece of reference Marc :) I thank you for that too.

The XUD11 (2.1TD) specification above is also applicable to the 2.1TD Xantia...

There were indeed many earlier versions of the XUD11 used in the XM. Very early ones had Lucas DPC pumps, later ones the Bosch VP20 mechanical before the last with the Lucas EPIC electronic...

not sure on the value and it does seem low mileage to be getting injector trouble?

Ah thanks for that, that got it working again.

Actually, I did absolutely nothing (had no time) and some weeks later, the window was working just fine... Do you think it could be a electric problem caused by humidity or something of the sort?

it's certainly a weird one, i will have to measure the PCD when i get time so i know what they will fit on to at least as i need to know when i sell them.

thanks for all the help guys :)

Reconditioning clutches at its simplest basically involves skimming the pressure plate surface (if required) and renewing the friction material on the driven plate. The springs and release fingers should also be checked and replaced if needed.

I was in the motor trade in the seventies and eighties and we neither used nor were offered...

That's better :D 1.9TD only give 110BHP when tweaked a bit :lol:

90BHP from them is good and perfectly adequate I find... I still love the old 1.9TD greatly...

So, originally your pump had the two-wire solenoid...

Was going to suggest replacing it with a single-wire one from an earlier non-armoured DPC but you beat me to it...

Generally all...

Yeah that's fine - I am with you in not liking lots of things about modern cars. My last comment was more in response to Homer, tbf

I'm not personally extoling the virtues of Citroen's proposed new suspension against the benefits of hydropneumatic, either - it doesn't have the load levelling that I find so useful for towing, for a start! I was...

It depends on exactly what is leaking. 2l / month is pretty heavy, and is going to cost a fortune in coolant!! If it wasn't leaking before, then maybe he messed up the operation, and now wants shot of it? There is a plastic intake housing on the back of the block, which is a known weak point - it might need the OS drive shaft removing to change it...

Many thanks one and all for all the advice, as soon as the weather picks up I will get into this, I hope it a simple fix I can do garage labour charges are so expensive:

For a Xantia, my MOT tester ignored the rollers totally and took it out for a quick test as he would with a permanent 4x4 vehicle.

Mine was a the bottom front but don't know if the C5 uses the same gearbox, my 406 was a 2.0.HDi.

Most recent here was only last week.

And there are many more.

On my 307 I can tell it's regenning as there is a relay clicks on / off in the BSI, and it runs slightly rough on a trailing throttle. If the rear window is damp or steamed up, you can see the heater is on. More difficult to tell in the C4, but the window still does it thing - this one smells very hot if stopped soon afterwards though - not really...

I Know this is a bit late for anything to do with this Post
But thought i'd just share how i change this Actuator Sensor from the top
A lot easier than dropping the subframe
You take the wipers and plastic trim off then the plastic bar that goes from drivers to passenger side off
Jack under engine on the sump with a bit off wood and then undo the...

It's known that the Xsara fuseboxes can differ from the diagrams from previous experience - the important thing is you've located it. Hopefully that'll be your problem. Always keep the washer tank filled with a good quality fluid - that affords a greater level of freeze protection. If it does freeze up, especially in the tubes near the jests,...

it`s a 1.1 L hatchback

Hanging? - What as in a bit manky?

Yes, properly blocked up - like yours

Result !

I'm happy.
I'm not actively involved but I find the mag a good read I had a great day at the national meeting in the summer.
I don't ask for much more than that.
(I agree that their website is dead though)

Almost forgot - Dentist!

Size length (from the widest mid-point of the 'C' to the 'N' = 19.5 CM and 2.2 CM high from the bottom of the letters to the top of the dieresis on the Ë.

Thank you.

I think that might be a bit too big for what I had in mind

For choice would use Japanese for reliability, if available in size required. Had a Corolla many years ago. All wheel brgs and driveshafts untouched at 200,000 miles when the body fell off. :)
Chap I worked with once used to sell them and said that their selection process of the balls was an order better than anyone else; make of that what you...

I think I missed that detail. I think I saw and assumed it was the other way round. Maybe you are my saviour. Thanks for that suggestion. Maybe I've been looking for this problem the wrong way round.

About 5mm. I'm going to turn off the part from an old disc, the bit that sits against the hub. Will save alot of work, being already the correct size, bolt holes etc.

No but it's playing hell with my hearing, I can pick up Russian submarine pings if I face East.

Thank you. Much appreciated. Now hopefully I can get my little shed back on the road!!

Maybe on a Skyline in a TV studio - but not a Citroen in the real world.

Hi Dave,

If it was an AL4 electronically controlled autobox then I'd say yes, quite possibly. I've known engine performance have a profound effect on the electronic 4HP20 as fitted to the V6 Xantia for instance but as I believe yours has the 4HP14 fully old-school mechanical-hydraulic 'box then not really but if the engine was really, really down...

I only asked as both mirrors worked perfectly on my white Xantia, which was four years older

I'll sort something - I've had the car for four years and 35,000miles, so it's not desperate.......

the rear may try and come round to meet you under braking!!

I hate it when that happens.

In all seriousness though you need a wiring diagram to check the wiring, when you get your VIN up it will be far easier to answer your questions.
Once you have one locate the relevant 2 pins on the ABS block connector and check for continuity at the...

Ok so plugged in Lexia again. Something is wrong!

Very strangely the car seems to be set up to run best with the Engine light on. Runs at 900rpm and CO goes down to 0.2, Idle actuator is 14 to 24%. With Engine light off runs at 700rpm and CO goes way up to at least 2 (6 or 10 when engine cold), Idle actuator is 80%.

Any ideas? Thanks.

James, that's excellent news :D

I understand what you are saying :wink: - but sometimes, the manufacturer will find a fault or an issue often discovered through customer feedback to the dealerships.

When they find enough of a problem, they may write a new piece of software to cure the fault and will then issue a bulletin to the dealerships, recommending a software update for a...

Was watching the inauguration and put it on mute when the singing started. Wife said What have you done that for? so I unmuted it. Three seconds of sound was enough and it went back on mute!
The Missouri singers before her were a bit all over the place -a bit of a cacophony - I don't like 'singing' that's all over the shop like that. But then I...

Hi Marc,

Yep that's the correct spec

Absolutley nothing what so ever to worry on a hdi. They are just as good as a xud. My old hdi xantia is still about your area mrduke.. currently now on 303,000 miles plus..

Theres nothing to wake up.. just turn the key and enjoy!

sorry all .. to update this .. don't touch those things in the roof ..they are the posts the bars clamp too ! I discovered after getting some roofbars.. (for some reason I thought they were just blanking plugs like older c5!)

I retrieved my captive nuts quite easily and put them back in with some sealant on.. removing the door seal allowed a bit...

I would think the header tanks will be different due to the engine bay layout and the lack of space in the Xanta v6, the swirl tanks should be (as shown in Cit Service and the code) will be the same as they fit to the engine.

That surprises me, I was a lifelong user of Bosch until last year when they decided to be more hassle than they were worth over a broken 1 year old drill with a 2 year warranty. I've joined the Makita club now although they are like Audi, they charge a lot then you have to buy all the options afterwards. To be fair though the Bosch stuff of old...

the current S2 HDI does not do this.

Which reinforces my belief that something was modified between S1 and S2...

First thing to do is a BSI reset. This sounds initially like an electronic problem that the engine is not firing because it hasn't got permission. Normally if the immobiliser is not happy the engine will turn over but it will not start.

So I would check that the battery is in good condition, a weak or failing battery will have an impact on...

In full daylight (and not being rained on!), the cause was fairly obvious; on both 2nd row outside seats, some numpty at the dealer had forced the seat squab down when the seat wasn't in the reqired position. In fairness, the Handbook is both vague and downright wrong on two counts: it states handle E under the seat. , when there is no handle...

Could be an EGR valve failing. Very common on this engine (and many other Diesel engines).
I had this with a C6 2.7HDi (same engine).
Slight hesitation on light throttle at 1750rpm.
Lexia diagnostic initially showed an 'airflow' fault.

There are two EGR valves on this engine and access to change them is 'interesting', workshop time is 4-5 hours...

Hi, sorry been out all day.

I have not a clue on that. With luck one of the other members has worked on that engine.

That said, all the parts are shown there, the page is from the latest Citroen Service document.

Perfect, just what I needed.

Many thanks.

There are some green bits there and the temperature tonight is -1°C.
A workmate has just come back from Tunisia and shown me videos of all the snow there.
