Hi,
Yes Hanyes (the muppets) have got it wrong. I did this a few weeks ago and almost destroyed the back of the panels trying to do what the Haynes manual said!
What you should do is get a couple of flat screwdrivers and carefully insert them in to the front of the panel between the edges. Then carefully use the screwdrivers to release to prise...

None of the heater controls light up on my ZX, and the Haynes manual suggests that if you remove the radio and holder that the bulbs are just twist out from behind. However I can't find them, or even any obvious wiring to them. The girlfriend's do illiminate however, but I can't find these bulbs either. Any ideas?? Could Haynes have possibly got...

XM TRIP COMPUTER

First post

I too have a V6 SEi and the display is forever reading zero. The last few times I have cured it was by cleaning all the earthpoints for the main wiring looms and cleaning the connectors between the computer and the temp sensor in the wing mirror, and the computer and the rotation counter attached to the speedo cable next to the bulkhead in the...

Last post

does anyone have experience of a faulty mileage computer on xm v6 sei , mine gives silly figures like 2mpg and 3mph although it sometimes comes good if reset at motorway speeds .also the temp indicator just flashes hyphens although it used to work . I know the temp sensor is in th n/s door mirror.

Berlingo Multispace

Yeah, bought one just b4 Xmas, lots of good things to say about it really, only a few bad. On the bad side,I think that the fuel economy on fast motorway journeys is poor, because it has to be driven quite hard, especially up long inclines. I also find it quite gutless when laden. By the way, I have the DW8 diesel engined version. My only other...

ZX 16v tickover problem

by adrianeaton » 21 Mar 2001, 18:49

First post

If your idle is eratic then the idle stabiliser may be faulty. If stable then suggest idle speed too low or possibly your power steering pump or something else driven off the engine is putting a higher than normal load on at low revs causing it to cut out.

Last post

I have a citroen zx 2.0 16v and I seem to have a problem with the power steering at tickover. If I am parking and I let the revs drop off whilst simultaniously turning the wheel the car dies. Its driving me mad. anyone know a fix for this. Cheers.

Xantia brakes

by thew » 15 Mar 2001, 20:25

First post

If all this work was done very recently, then they probably just need time to bed in. You could try driving a mile or so with the brakes on to speed this process up, although don't tell anyone I said so as this is not recommended. Other than that, the fluid may need changing.

Last post

I recently had the brakes repaired on on '95 Xantia LX TD. I needed pads and discs front and rear. Having had this done, the grinding sound that previously occured had gone, but the brakes felt hardly any more effective. They need a lot of pressure to bring the car to a stop and the effort to the brakes seem to fade (needing more pressure on the...

ZX 1.9i Absober

by Jonathan » 16 Mar 2001, 19:48

First post

I don't know who makes Citroen shock absorbers, but would be happy with Sachs - they have a long association with rallying. Depends what you're looking for.
Are you looking for adjustable or uprated shocks, or standard replacements? A motor factor/specialist can still probably offer these at a price competitive to original citroen parts.
Sachs,...

Last post

I plan to change all my 4 absober, would like to have some feedback on this.
1. Citroen Original absober is from which manufacturer?
2. Is SACHS a good brand? Did any one use it before? Please share.
3. SACHS vs Citroen Original which is better?
TQ.

BX cambelt

by Jonathan » 13 Mar 2001, 02:12

My BX TD has failed 12K early. I read that cambelt failures in XU engines are terminal. IS this true?
Is there a (quick) easy inspection I can do rather than fit a new belt to try it out?
I understand that oilleaks at tehy cambelt end of the ngine may have contaminated & weakened the belt. Be warned!

ZX Volcane TD rear knocks

by Jon » 12 Mar 2001, 21:20

First post

Interesting. Probably the best bet is to get the car on a 2 poster ramp with all wheels off the ground to allow you to check properly for wear in subframe mounts, whether in fact the exhaust is loose etc. I wonder whether you may have wear in the rear arm bearings on the offside, has the ZX done alot of miles?
If so, this would explain why the...

Last post

I wonder if any of you out there in internet land can help.
I recently bought a ZX which has a knocking noise from the offside rear under braking and when going round a left hand bend at any speed. The robber I bought it off told me that it was the exhasut and would have it sorted, but didn't.
I have had a look and have 'visually' discounted the...

ZX steering fault

I had that kind of problem too after six years with zx 20i. I just change the steering damper then everything back to normal. It cost me about USD 200.

We have an unusual problem with our ZX Furio. When manoeuvring on or near full lock the steering (power assisted) goes extremely heavy to the point it's a real effort to pull it back. Sometimes it helps to release the steering and try again but I've had the belt tension checked and no probs.
There's no other problem with the steering, the car...

Xantia Central locking problem?

by phil » 07 Mar 2001, 00:22

First post

I had the same problem and looked at everything. It is almost certainly the driver's door locking mechanism that is duff. It could be the passenger door, but it is most likely to be the driver's. Change the assembly - you will have to get from Citroen or a scrapyard. About £50 altogether from Citroen.

My Xantia Turbo Diesel (1994, 72,000 miles)has recently started playing up. The central locking just locks the car all by itself. It started one day just as I was driving along and has done it on and off (more on the off) ever since. I checked the remote receiver in the roof - disconected it but the problem still occurred. I've checked inside the...

Xantia turbo diesel fuel injectors

Does anyone know how often you should expect to replace the injectors on a Xantia 1.9TD? My estate has done around 111000 miles on the original set and returns around 39mpg.

Xantia Cruise Control Not Working?

Excellent advise thanks, spot on re fault.
Have you been able to source a replacement since?

Last post

I have found that my cruise control occasionally stops working. A Citroen garage was unable to sort it! I found it was due the a poor contact in the brake lamp switch. This switch is built into the brake pedal rubber pad. It's shown in the Haynes manual as a single pole change-over switch. When the pedal is pressed the switch powers the brake...

Hi.
Got a big problem, my car won't start due to that the fuelpump doesn't work correctly.
It does work when I connect it to the battery directly but when I connect via the leads, it just won't work.
My car is a BX 1.9 16V -90, with Motronic1.3 woth catalyst.
Is it the realy or is it the wiring that is the problem??
Please help me!!!
