Given the number of 'After-sales campaign' notices concerning Takarta Airbags I have been made aware of when looking up parts from PSA for members, I thought I would post a link to the following documentary that may be informative concerning the issue with these igniters.

According to Takata, the chemicals in the airbags’ explosive charge can...

My DS5, VF7**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff] should be eligible for recall, but my vehicle is in China and I cannot find the corresponding service provider. Could you please contact me officially and tell me how to handle this? ????_20251024002629_33_148.png

Disruption to Parts Service

xm central locking

by David Goddard » 13 Oct 2001, 02:55

First post

I'm only guessing, but I suspect there is a switch in each door lock which signals when the doors are in the fully closed position. Reason - on my Xantia, if I try to lock the car when one of the doors is not fully closed (on the 1st rather than the 2nd latch), it does what yours is doing - unlocks again.

Last post

Ihave a 1991 2.0 si which unlocks on its own ? when locked ,it immediatly unlocks when
using the fob or the passenger door key, the drivers lock just spins but the central locking worked while this fault was evident. Any help please !!

Are you sure the fluid level is up to the correct mark when the car is set at its HIGHEST setting? The warning lamp is not just low pressure, it's also low fluid level.
Just a thought.

green fluid

by nevorton1 » 15 Oct 2001, 02:59

First post

dear lara,as i understand it lhm is a mineral oil and should not mix with water unlike conventional brake fluid. water can get to the protruding part of brake pistons especially if the brake pads are thin and the pistons have come out along way. or if the protective rubber boot round the piston end is split causing corrosion and seizure.

Last post

Is LHM hydroscopic? ( does it absorb water like brake fluid does ?). The reason I ask is I just had to replace a seized brake calliper.
Is this why it needs changing every 2 years?

Air Con

by Dave Bamber » 21 Aug 2001, 03:41

I've just come back from 3 weeks in Spain in our Berlingo Multispace, and have found to our cost that aircon should have been fitted from new. Boy was it hot in that mobile green-house! Anyway, the point of this waffling is does anybody know where I can get aircon retro-fitted?
Cheers,
Dave.

Xsara 2.0 VTS

by JohnD » 21 Aug 2001, 00:00

First post

Hi Darren - Can't help - other than to describe the filter on my 2.1TD Xantia which may be similar. Go behind the glove box and remove about five hex screws. The panel drops down exposing the fan area. There is a plastic cover about 6 by 1.5 inches, square at one end and angled at the other. The cover slides to remove. Once the cover is off the...

blue smoke

by pwatson » 22 Aug 2001, 04:40

First post

According to some pretty knowledgeable characters on another forum the BX diesel engine does not have oil stem valve seals. I say this because I posed a similar question about a Xantia TD which had similar symptoms to yours - so much blue smoke on start for a few seconds it was embarrassing! The advice I received was that it may be the oil I was...

Last post

If left for a couple of days, my Bx TD emits blue smoke for a few seconds. Presume this is valve stem oil seals? Do you have to take the head and everything off- a very long job or can you do in situ like on some some engines I have dealt with?

HOT BX

First post

What engine does the car have.
Some of the XU engines had water pump problems and in some cases so can the TU engines .
Let me know

Last post

The orange temp warning light comes on after about 5 miles, red light after about 15, steam, breakdown etc. The radiater is cold except slight heat where pipes go in, which seems to suggest a blockage. I have fitted new thermostat, flushed radiater thoroughly (hosepipe 20 minutes both ways).
Could it be water pump?
Funny thing is you can sit in...

ZX Cuts out when cornering

by paulivil » 17 Aug 2001, 12:58

First post

Sounds familiar. If your car is fitted with a distributor then it may be the vacuum operated advance regulator that is faulty. Renewing that part helped when my car suffered from exactly the same you describe.

Xantia radiator

What am I doing? Full details are in the Haynes manual. Was looking at wrong section.

Last post

1994 tdi. Have to replenish header tank frequently. Was pressure tested last year but no fault found. Now can see moisture at base of radiator. Looks like it's on its way out. Replacement about £100. Any tricks for when I get around to doing it? Can't see how it's fixed in.Haynes only tells you how to drain it.

Xantia - temperature air con sensor

by Redspecial2000 » 15 Aug 2001, 13:55

First post

Sounds like vibration from inside the dashboard to me, which can be a nightmare to fault find. Something inside is loose, probably the blower pipe.
Alternatively, the odd piece of debris has been known to blow into the vent past the filter, could just be that.

My Xantia temperature sensor that controls the air con temp inside the car emits a buzzing sound. It sound like a miniature motor running and I do not know what to do to eliminate that sound. Any one has any ideas?
Thanks

My '94 2.0L (8 valve) auto. is suffering a few, possibly temperature related problems. That is pinking, high temp. warning flash, cooling fans running more frequently/and at the higher speed. Temp. guage does not confirm these high temp. indications, and engine does appear to be overheated.

Roy,
You've bought yourself what will probably eventually be one of the all time great collectables; welcome to the club. In the hose from the plenum to the air cleaner are a few sensors & queer things as well as a few smaller hoses. Firstly get some WD40 or similar into there if the inside of the hoses are covered with oil looking like treacle &...

I used to run a BX19TRS(carb).
I now run a BX19-16Valve with no previous experience of the model.Fitted new plugs,leads,cap,rotor,& air filter.
Suggestions for smooth tick-over & below 1500rpm running. Thanks.
