I've had a MK1 non HA and a MK2 with HA and I would go for the HA.
It is a little rougher but the payoff of better handling is worth it.
Plus the HA cars have a better spec all round.
I havn't found the HA any less reliable but one of each isn't much to compare with.

Was anyone able to experience the difference between these suspensions on Xantia mk2:
- Hydractive 2
- Non-hydractive (No electronics, 6 spheres: 1Acc + 1Anti-sink + 4w)
In terms of:

- Handling

No big deal removing the complete strut - no reason for the icon.
It depends on how far down you have to push the strut rod for access. It may pay to remove the strut complete anyway.
The top nut may be the worst part ...
Remove the droplink and the leak-off hose.
Then loosen the clamp nut at the hub to free the strut here.
That's about it.

Last post

While changing the brake pads i looked at the plates which connect the top of the front struts to the inner wings, they are cracked about half way round
Is it an easy job
Do i just undo the nut on top of the strut, tap the rod through, unbolt the plate and refit
I've looked in the BOL and it says i have to remove the whole strut

Knocking from the engine usually means big expensive troubles e.g. worn big end or little end bearings. Rattly engines are usually past their best.
Knocking from the suspension going over bumps on a Xantia is usually a sign of worn anti-roll drop links, rather cheaper to fix (1/2 hour labour plus £20 in parts each).

I have seen on the net people saying if its a 2.0i 8v Xantia or XM and there is knocking noise from the engine then stay away. Why is this? They all say not to get the car but fail to say why.

If that screw is missing it won't make a lot of difference, the damper is there to make the engine smoother to drive, and to give it a bit more anti-stall.
When the fuel economy gets down to as bad as 32mpg something is seriously wrong with the car. Does it smell strongly of diesel? If so it has a fuel leak.

Sharp rattling noise like a ball being shaken in a tin? It'll be the roll bar drop link. I think GSF do OE spec ones now - worth buying those, as the others only last about 10k. Half hour job to fit, usually with the aid of an angle grinder :-))

Hi,
Bought a Xantia 1.9TD VSX last year and all of a sudden there is a knocking noise comiong from what i think is the left front, it has just passed its mot so i cant see it being a Cv or wheel bearing..
It only happens on bumpy roads so i assume it is suspension related
Anyone got any ideas??

Is your height corrector intermittently sticking? Is the ride height correct?
I had poor ride on my Xantia, even though there was suspension at both ends it needed new spheres, the spheres had lost enough pressure to make the ride uncomfortable without losing all suspension. After replacing the spheres the ride is back to what it should be.

Hello all

Thats not a rear sphere problem, its a problem with the height corrector being a bit slow and sticky. Giving it a good spray with the old WD40 (or equivilent) and wiggling the levers backwards and forwards a lot will probably help it.
