As the owner of a 2.2 i agree with all the above comments. Fantastic car with more features and gadgets than you can throw a stick at but a little quirky compared to my previous mondeos. I only get about 40mpg (mondeo was 30 at best :lol: ). It appears common to replace the water pump at same time as cam belt on a 2.2. A lexia is sound investment....

Which makes it a design fault ....can't be, its made like a German car :)

Go to the interior fuse box (the BSI) & check the shunt fuse is in the CLIENT position & not PARKING.

With HiD's you need clear glass or you blind on-coming traffic due to the flutes in the glass scattering the light.................

I used 3 bits of scrap alloy plate. I had 2 stacked just on the lip of the wishbone right by the bush. The other one was slid along the arm until it sat flat.
To put the new one in I couldn't get it into the press so I used a large vice to squeeze it in.

As an aside, the local main dealers wanted to charge me £50 + VAT just to read the codes...

eg, 3/4 of a Lexia on EBay....LOL

Avoids insurance claims by not permitting re-gassing of (what they call) failed spheres

Never thought of that. Stick it on high, strap up then stick it on low and let it hang!

That's quick enough, isn't it?

Not in my book. Parts for my Preludes (out of production since 96) are next day if in stock at Swindon or day after that, if in Belgium. Only time they go over 2 days is if they have to come from Japan.

Citroen not having a major part in stock in UK for a car that's basically still in production is absolutely...

Great photo's 8-)

Welcome back :lol:
It sounds like you have got yourself a challenge.

Ah - yes I'm aware of the desulphating AC idea - interesting to know that it seems to make your batteries last.
Thanks.

Whilst not directly related to the OPs question, I found this interesting - more the comments that the 'demonstration'

As many here have found empirically, Beru seems to be the best choice.

Yontoo isn't a virus it's a plugin to overlay graphics (a hack is the correct term I'd use). It's an old plugin at that and since most AV's treat is a potential risk, it's lost poularity and therefore obsolete.

Lexia software doesn't contain a virus either but again the hacks bundled into the clone offerings used to bypass the legitmate versions...

Is this an automatic? if so it is probably finding something wrong with the gear lever position switch, either in an illegal position, or appearing to be midway between two valid positions while driving.

mine has a similar fault p0905 i've been told to replace the switch on the clutch pedal.

It is not unusual for inspectos to be lacking in knowledge on Citroens. One MoT guy said there was an issue with the headlight being off calibration (on a BX), and was going to fail it. The owner started the engine, and the MoT idiot watched as the BX rose to a level height.

It's sorted. Silly me didn't reconnect the coolant temperature sensor when I replaced the air filter housing.

About disconnecting the battery:

When we did the clutch on my mates 2.0 HDi 16 the friction plate was barely worn, but the inside of the DMF was flopping about so much that it was catching on the outer edge, and a whole load of alu dust fell out when we removed it. No wonder it was noisy in use!

Good job there Dsney. One question as I'm in a similar boat. have you reset the counter yet? If yes what was the calculation used?

In this situation for all it costs, I would just pick up a decent quality full belt and pulley kit.

Something is running out of true, most likely one of the tensioner pulleys or idlers (if applicable). If the water pump is cam belt driven it's worth looking at too, and it too should be changed.

If you fit a new set by the book it should be fine,...

Suger Coat a DUCK.....how much ? for a bit of trim ? ...lordie

Kinda expected it tbh, its chromed due to the car being an Exclusive.

:cry: Woe, woe and thrice woe :roll: . Managed to get a 1.2mm drill up the side of the wood and straightened out a fish hook (thanks Sticky) but although getting it up the side, wouldn't pull it out. So last resort, cut pipe to push offending blockage out. Cutter seemed to go through pipe, but pipe wouldn't separate so had to bent it and fatigue...

A quick update - I actually repaired the new handle I bought (and broke!) - araldite and steel wire to the rescue!

I then reinstalled the repaired handle - without breaking it again!

Citroenxm is dead right. If you install both the latch activator rod and the lock activator rod onto their respective holes on the handle and then install the...

Update on this situation - tried replacing the LH Fan relay on Friday evening and immediately the problem has reduced, alas not disappeared. I managed 2 days with no cold start fans - although it did momentarily come on with a warmish start (60 degree) yesterday but switched off within 30 seconds. Put my new ebay bitron in last night as stage 2 of...

Been over that issue on the site a good few times, so no real need to go deep into it, I imagine you can guess.

As for the issue, have you checked yours, a lot can re brought back to life if cleaned correctly.
If it works you may find the system will start to behave.
Has it been re-mapped to delete the EGR ?

Do you have a Lexia ?, if not you...

Other 3 are fine just the near side front , wonder what happens if I swap around

Nothing much, but you won't get the correct wheel location (each sensors is linked to the wheel position) reported

Tracing it back it seems to go into a loom of other cables and it hard to trace back. I'm expecting to find a bunch of cables bolted to some large metal connection to the gearbox. It seems easy but no luck as yet. Pretty sure a lot of my problem relate to it. When I find it I shall let you all know for future reference.

I've been massively impressed by my little 107 to be honest. Even keeping the revs down it's perfectly adequate, especially around town. It really does come alive above 3 or 4K though and then will shift far more rapidly than its 998cc suggest. Sounds alarmingly convincingly like a flat six as well. Being gentle though, it will still just thrum...

A tip, before removing the tube, tape some string to it. Attach that to the new tube and use that as a guide to the path you replace it into and help you pull it back thru..a helper tugging it helps.

Thank you, will try this when I get the tube. ;-)
Gibbo I'll hopefully get this sorted very soon......

MOT re-test pass this morning. :-D

I once applied a Turbo sticker to my Reliant Robin, nicely alongside the Robin 750 logo, a young policewoman wrote it down verbatim, the policeman with her had a good titter :)

The problem is addressed here
A common problem :(

Is that set-up not bad for ball weight ?

....always wondered about that with those chop trailers.

If you put your ear by the front or back wheels you should hear the solenoid valves whistling/screeching. If you can't chances are they've failed. I ran my Xm on hydraflush for a few thousand miles after draining the lhm and cleaning the tank filters. It took a long time but slowly the suspension started to soften up. There was a very long thread...

The rubber is available separately from GSF.

Its connected to the latch/ locking mechanism in the edge of the door if its anything like the 206,

Hi wizard,
sounds like you had same problems as myself.im willing to try anything at this stage. I'm in Ireland so no way to collect unless i could paypal you the cost somehow.
cheers Darren

What makes you think our roads are any better? I've just come back from Scotland. :)

This ECU fix you speak of, is that the diode mod/E Crofting mod?

That procedure for measuring and adjusting the height is identical to a Xantia, aside from Lexia use.

To get accurate and repeatable measurements you need to measure the height after an upwards correction and again after a downwards correction and take the half way point between the two as your measurement, otherwise you can be out by as much as...

One of my cheating tricks is to look at the equivalent item for sale on Fleabay. Very often you can see hidden clips or the location of screws or nuts. It's also handy to know what it's worth in case you accidentally break it! :shock:

The only time I got a really good low speed ride was when I experimented using accumulator spheres on the suspension, I only did it on one side but the ride was unbelievable - don't think it would corner very well though. :-D
