You can fit the clear indicators to any AX. If fitting clear to previously amber, make sure the unit has the orange-bulb type holder (different pin location).
The indicator unit's wiring plugs into the car'sloom the same, although you have to fiddle inside the wing a bit.

Last post

Im not sure but on the list of parts, for the clear indicators it says it will fit 91AX. im guessing that means all AX models after 1991. Just wondering would they fit with a little encouragment, or have i got the wrong end of the stick, and the 91 means something completly different?

Glow plugs on Xantia TD

by iancook2000 » 05 Feb 2002, 14:18

Robbie
If it is the glow plugs (quite likely) then, in my experience, you can get away with changing only 3. I've done it twice - once on a ZX TD and, recently, on my C15D van. It starts with a bit of a chug on 3 pots but a SMALL amount of throttle has it running sweetly on all 4 in a matter of seconds. From then on it's fine.

I've found that providing the bolts are in good condition, haven't been used before and within the length tolerance (see Haynes)they can be re-used. The angular torque doesn't feel too excessive for the bolt diameter.

Frequency of hydraulic pump 'clicks'

by JohnD » 23 Jan 2002, 23:45

First post

Hi Alf - If it clicks once every half to one minute, you can take it that the accumulator is OK. As it gets near to once every few seconds, be ready to replace it.

When buying second hand Xantia TD, whats the click frequency (technical term) one be looking for and what rate should sound warning bells?

Xantia Airbag Warning flashing

by Dave Bamber » 23 Jan 2002, 02:44

First post

Hello Geog.
My Berlingo Multispace has been back to the dealers twice with a flashing bag light. First time was because one of the wires to the seat belt pre-tentioners was damaged and this caused the light to flicker. Second time the light kept staying on then stopped working altogether. The pre-tentioners had to be re-wired with soldered not...

Last post

Hello,
The Airbag Warninglight on my 99 Xantia HDi started flashing recently. It is not like described in the manual (flash for 5 minutes then stay on all the time) but flashing all the time. Looks like some loose contact to me.
Any hints what I can check myself as a complete amateur, before bringing it to the garage ?
Thanks and best regards,...

Rear wheel passive steering on ZX

by alf » 23 Jan 2002, 20:11

First post

I'm no expert so I don't know what is causing your particular problem however, the symptoms that you describe turned out to be the big rubber bushes which hold the rear axle onto the body. Apparently this is a common problem. On my ZX it was obvious when you jacked up the rear of the car (Dont get under it without proper stands under the body) The...

Hi, have 1996 ZX 1.4 Elation with 44K miles.
Just put through MOT, passed no problems but I have a clunking noise from rear when on bumpy roads or braking suddenly, mechanic who did MOT thought something to do with Torsion arm, but not sure. He was unaware of the ZX rear wheel passive steering, (RWPS). Might this clunk be a bush or link associated...

C15 1.7 D starting problems

by iancook2000 » 22 Jan 2002, 14:15

Bob
This vehicle should not be using any oil at 80K miles. Mine has 84K on the clock and I've run many other XUD diesels close to 100K miles without oil consumption problems.
It's strange that it suddenly used oil when your son used it, or was it already low? If the glow is OK and it will tow start then it sounds like compression (valves or rings)...

I have been running a 1992(K) C15 pickup for 6 months with no problems until my son had the car and ran low on oil and fuel and it stopped I put oil in and changed the fuel filter and it will not start ,it will crank the glow plugs are all ok (tested with meter and tryed out of engine they glow hot )if I tow the car it will start (in 3rd gear )...

Help replacing RH driveshaft on BX 19 gearbox

by henrysheil » 21 Jan 2002, 18:37

Having just replaced the clutch in my BX 19 (my idea of a fun job) I failed to follow Haynes’ advice about fitting a tube in the LH opening to support the diff sun gears while the RH shaft is out. That is I tried but didn’t succeed.
Now the RH shaft won’t go in far enough.
Anyone got any ideas on how to rectify this one, without removing the...

ZX remote locking problem

The lock mechanism's are driven by electric motors, not solenoid's, if they will lock the motors must be ok, try closing the relay contacts on the locking control circuit board manualy (but only briefly), it's located at the side of the handbrake lever under the plastic trim, one relay fires the lock pulse and the other the open pulse, don't close...

Like others down the forum, I've got a fault with the central locking on our Citroen, this time a ZX Furio!
The car will lock on the remote without difficulty, but when you try to unlock it the same way the doors don't open, although you can hear something that sounds like a motor trying its best to oblige!
The central locking works fine on the...

Xantia front RH driveshaft

Hi Christopher, the shaft is a splined fit in to the cv joint and there will be a small amount of end float, when you pull the shaft away from the hub it should come up against a positive stop, this being a circlip on the end of the shaft contacting the outer face of the cv joint, to get the shaft out it should be pulled on while giving a sharp...

Last post

I have a 93 Xantia 1.8 8 Valve and have noticed a lateral (axial) movement of around 1-3mm in the right hand outer driveshaft section, is this normal? I have driven the car in circles on full-lock to check for CV joint clicking and none is apparent. Any info would be appreciated
Thanks.

I don't know about the diesel engine on the XM, but on the petrol 2.0 the Haynes manual says that a Citroen service tool is required to correctly tention the cam belt, but I have spoken to two Garages that have changed these belts on XM's and they say they just use the spring pressure on the tentioning wheel. I'm about to change the cam belt on my...

My 1.7 TZD Bx is kicking out lots of blue smoke when starting, when idling, when running, basically all the time. Basically undrivable.
Any ideas?
Garage have suggested worn injecters overfueling, but I thought that would create black smoke not blue.
