I believe this is not yet a common problem. But as the Xantia's grow older, it may become a more common problem.

Likewise the BX had a tendency to snap in the back frame - quite...

Certainly BX ones are meant to be like this - its the reason you have to have pressure in the strut while you crack the sphere loose.
They go tight when supporting the car and so don't rattle in use.

Does it have the digital climate control ?, if so, it is likely the sensor has failed, it appeared to be just a standard bead type thermistor to me when i took my one apart, it sits right on top of a tiny fan in the roof console,
Temporarily, the only thing you could do is to regulate the temperature by the fan speed control, if you get too much...

Last post

I'm have a slight problem.
The heating on my V6 is now staying HOT all the time, and its too HOT to cope with..
Its an Air conditiond car, but that doesn't work. Is this problem related to the sensor in thr roof for the heating??
Thanks for the moment

Do you mean the black on the bumpers etc?
Valeting products bring it up nice, WD40 lasts a bit longer, but several coats of wax works a treat, at least it did on my old rover

Last post

Being someone who washes and polishes on a regular basis {weekly,if poss} does irritate me that however much I 'Back to Black' the plastic trim on my Citroens some parts fade back to grey within minutes......is there anything that has a long lasting effect? Also streaks left after heavy rain annoying but prob unavoidable.

My ZX has developed an intermittent fault with its central locking. When it's armed with the plip the light on the dash stays on (doesn't flash) and the external lights fail to flash. In itself this is no problem, however after a couple of days the battery is drained.
The battery is new (3 months) and the multimeter and hydrometer tell me that the...

New manual mirror comes complete with cables and the 'control box' that fits on the inside of the door. To change you need to remove the door trim panel, the alarm sensor cover panel, and then the mirror. Feed the new cables in and screw it all down. Took me a couple of hours to change one on my previous Xantia.

Last post

Hi
I have a xantia and the manuel mirrors do not adjust as the cables are not attached to anything behind the door facia.
Do the cables come seperatly from the mirror or does it come a a kit.
Whichever way how do you replace the existing cable, and set up the mirror so it works with the adjuster.

Does it always happen or only occasionally? If the car is driven at a sedate pace around town with lots of idling in queues, traffic lights, etc, then there's inevitably a build up of unburnt fuel which can then produce the big cloud of smoke you describe. If it always happens then you probably need to check the injectors. If you've tried an...

the thermostat is there so that your car can a) run at a nice temperature for the engine and b) so you can have warm air in the cabin.....basically all the thermostat does is restict coolant flow (when cold) to just round the engine and heater matrix....as the temperature rises to around 80 degrees the thermostat opens and the hot water can run...
