xantia hydralic pump seal's

If you are talking about the six large head torx bolt's arranged radialy around the pump, these blank off the actual pump cylinder's.
They will more than likely be a standard type 'o' ring, unscrew one and find out, watch for any bit's like piston and spring's falling out, also because the pump is lower than the reservoir it may start to syphon...

Last post

could anyone tell me what type of seals are used under the torx bolts on top of the hydralic pump ('o' rings etc), the torx bolt look like they have been installed to blank off un-used outlets. my local main dealer told me that they no longer do the seals for my year, oh by the way it's 94', L reg,

I have just had the injector nozzles out of my BX 16 Valve, cleaned them and fitted a new set of injector seals. There are 9 in total (2 to each nozzle and one on the rail) and it has made an unbelievable difference.

overheating xantia 19td

by JohnD » 01 Aug 2002, 23:50

First post

Hi Pete - Yes, you do have an intercooler. Its in front of the radiator. To trace your overheating troubles, start by making sure that the space between the intercooler and the radiator is clear of leaves and other debris. Give the cooling system a thorough flush and refill with fresh antifreeze.

Last post

my 1994 xantia 1.9td is regularly overheating from average 80 (over last two years) to 85-95. Could the head be on its way out, or a blockage in the cooling system, i.e. radiator. Also, has this engine model got an intercooler. No obvious leaks and water pump is ok

Hi Tariq
If the problem is indeed exhaust related then you won't do any damage to the engine UNLESS it gets to the point where a piece of exhaust baffle blocks off part of the pipe, as this will increase back pressure noticably and will result in poor acceleration.

hydralic fluid reservoir overflow

by lozian » 01 Aug 2002, 12:03

First post

If you are referring to the LHM tank, surely it must be overfilled. If the level is checked as per the manufacturers instructions, and the float is at the correct position, the LHM is nowhere near the top of the tank. Unless some other problem is forcing the LHM back into the tank. But surely then, other symptoms would be apparent.

Saxo Rear Drum Brake Adjusters

Hi Paul - At the base of the leading brake shoe there's a couple of serrated surfaces. Both of them are spring loaded. Move the bottom one against the spring tension and the long arm will move back, taking the shoe with it. With the drum in place, the footbrake should correctly adjust the shoes.

Can anyone tell me how to release the self adjustment ratchet on Bendix Saxo rear brake shoes by poking a screwdriver through the wheel nut threads in the drum. Even with the drum off (puller) I can't see how to do this short of dismantling the whole mechanism. It is locked solid.

by NiSk » 31 Jul 2002, 13:58

First post

The diesel in the ZX is the same, basically, as that in the BX 19 and early Xantias. If the head had been planed at the same time as the head gasket is changed, and the block face - cylinders are square, there's no reason why it should require replacement again unless some external force acts upon it (like a burst water hose).

I think you have answered your own question when you said the car doesn't use any coolant which it certainly would with a leaky cap, without the pressure generated with a good cap, the water evaporates at to low a temperature and get's out, sooner or later you end up with a low coolant level.

Central Locking Remote control

by Chrisk » 29 Jul 2002, 01:34

First post

I had the same problem with a used ZX I bought. The only place I could get a replacement remote was from a Citroen Main Dealer. It cost £140 for two new transmitters and receiver ( this fits in the roof panel just after the sunroof/ map light Assembly). Not cheap, but cheaper than fitting a new alarm!

Turbo for ZX

by humpy » 27 Jul 2002, 20:11

I have a 2.0i volcane. Is this a similar naturally aspirated version of the xantia 2.0l turbo? Has anyone tried to do the conversion?

ZX 1.9i Central Locking not working

by Dave Burns » 28 Jul 2002, 16:26

First post

Front door lock's are a good starting point, after that the wiring where it has to bend going from body to door, then the central locking controll, normally by the side of the handbrake lever inside the console.
And of course any connector's on the wires.

Hi Folks,
I have just purchased my first ZX, and after one week the central locking system is not working. I t was a few days ago the I realised when I locked it with the key there was a little clicking sound. (I do not have the remote device for the central locking). Anyway now the CL does not work at all. Where do I start to look, any advice...

Can I ask you what year your engine is? You may or may not have seen some recent posts on the site. It seems that several TD engines of R and S reg years have been shoving their conrods through the side of the block. Various theories have been put forward to account for this, but needless to say, Peugeot and Citroen wash their hands of any...

Dear all,
My ZX TD went bang on the M55 last night at 00:30, 100mph conrod through sump kind of situation going on! It had a XUD9TE/L (D8A) engine. Any one know of where to get second hand engines from and what sort of money to buy? How much is a reasonable price to pay for fitment? Will a Xantia 1.9TD engine fit in ok? If so any specific engine...

Xantia Cooling Fans

by bob » 29 Jul 2002, 14:48

First post

Try the thermo switch screwed into the radiator, right hand side looking from the front, plug has 3 connections +12, slow,fast. To test the fans connect the +12 to either of the other two connections. You will probably find that the fans are OK and the thermo switch in the radiator is duff (get one from andyspares about £12)

Last post

I have a 1998 Xantia 2.1TD Estate.
I discovered today that the cooling fans are not switching in, I have taken off the brown connector on the thermostat housing wiring and still the fans are not clicking in, any suggestions?

Stevo,
Over the years, I've just about driven everyone to dispair with the questions I've asked and the answers I've found on this subject.
I did mine a little while ago and the only reason I can see for taking it to a main dealer is so that he can collect some money; almost like a game of Monopoly - Pay a two hundred pounds and go to Jail <img...

Hi Im about to change the cam belt on my 16v. Having consulted the haynes bible,Im concerned about the bit that says have tension checked by main dealer .
Is this really needed?

AX sssstuttering on acceleration

by alan s » 25 Jul 2002, 19:23

First post

Peter,
FWIW, if you fit a timing light to the car and take it to slghtly above a fast idle, check as to where the light & pointer are staying. If they fluctuate wildly, then the bushes are worn in the distributor shaft.
Possibly something to file under useless information but may just save you a dizzy cap or three<img src=icon_smile_evil.gif...

Not only do I have a Xantia but also an AX Debut, with 1.0 litre engine, 60,000 miles. It’s a L reg, as far as I can remember. Seems to eat distributor caps which after a short time results in hesitant acceleration. ie. it dies momenterily - usually when you ’re pulling away at junction or (perish the thought) overtaking. It’s a very well looked...

Hey Alan,
The easy way out would be to set fire to it for a 2nd time then get rid of it!
Seriously though. Can you engage reverse with the engine turned off and the clutch down? If so, can you then start the car and it stays in reverse?
Sounds like either 1) Clutch adjustment ( adjust cable so that clutch pedal height is slightly above height of...

Xantia self -braking habit

by Dave Burns » 25 Jul 2002, 03:34

Dissable the ABS, see if there is a difference.
Has it always done this or have you just got the car.
Bear in mind that the power brake's on a Cit are not the easiest to feather.

Last post

2.0 Xantia SX petrol Estate, 1996: When I apply the brakes and come to a halt, just as the car is almost at a stop (5mph and less) it seems to brake itself - as if I’m momenterily pressing the pedel a bit harder. This results in a sort of kangaroo style braking effect. Seems ok at above 5mph and ABS seems to make the right noises upon emergency...

xantia rear suspension

by JohnD » 25 Jul 2002, 00:24

First post

Hi Shaun - Your squeak could just be a mis-aligned piece of bodywork, on the other hand if the noise is more 'creak' than 'squeak', then it might be rear arm bearings. What sort of mileage has your car done? How do the wheels look from the rear? Are they leaning inwards at the top?

Last post

hi all, does anyone know where the lubracation point is for the rear on a xantia, as mine has got a nasty habbit of squeking when you get out of it, i have checked my haynes manual but to no avail.
thanks dom

ZX TD TUNING

by Jon » 25 Jul 2002, 15:24

First post

Any company offering tuning on the XUD9TE 1.9td engines are basically doing the same thing as far as I can see. That is adjusting the diesel pump (theres 3 adjusters), adjusting the wastegate on the turbo, and upping the boost. I know on the Van Aaaken conversion they also manage to stop the engine from overfuelling. You've probably all followed...

Last post

Hi there all,
Just wondering if any of you have had any experience of a tuning package on your Turbo Diesel from places such as Allard Turbo Sports, Van Aaken or Cituning. They claim an 18bhp increase obtained via fueling and boost calibration or something? Prices range from £125 to £400 for what sounds like the same job?
Cheers.

zx diesel turbo sludge build up

by Dave Burns » 23 Jul 2002, 23:58

First post

Sound's like a later model ZX with an EGR (exhaust gas recirculating) valve, there is usually a covering of black oil in the intercooler and it's pipes, there shouldn't be pool's of the stuff though and especially not at that mileage.
The sludge will be soot from the exhaust mixed with oil, the turbo oil seal on the compressor side and probably...

Last post

I have a ZX turbo diesel and recently needed to remove the intercooler to cure a small oil leak from the rocker cover. With the intercooler off I noticed that the inlet manifold has a build up of thick black sludge up to 6mm thick. The intercooler has some oil in it that I assume is normal, but no sludge. Also what I assume is an oil drain pipe...
