Parts for Classic / Older Citroen, Peugeot Renault Vehicles

This may be of interest to Members with older vehicles where getting parts is a struggle and for those not already aware of the site.

PSA are embarking on a project to provide some supplies of original and re manufactured parts for older vehicles and classics, and have made it a...

I've used them a couple of times, most recently for a pair of XM rear ram gaiters.
Not cheap, but the only source found for new ones.

The Search box will accept original part numbers, so no need to go ploughing through the long, illustrated lists. Some good stuff there, genuine and new!

Removing window glass?

iirc the mechanism needs to be undone from the door so that the rollers can be slid out of the window chanel on the bottom, and any trims around the window need to come out too as they take up a fair bit of space!! then it should be able to be wiggled out, easier to get out of a door than refit!!

You wont be able to just clear the faults & see if it comes back. If the fault goes away on these systems the light goes out by itself on next start up (although a fault code will remain in the memory). If the light is on that suggests the fault is still present so it probably wont clear. There is a common fault on C8's with poor splicing of wires...

C3 brake pads - 08 petrol 1.4 8v

I've ordered some Pagid front pads.

But they're too big, the pads themselves and the two tail ends. Before I have the conversation tomorrow, I thought I'd just ask what may be the problem. The paperwork is right (I used the online reg checker) and the box indicates C3 02 -

Might these be boxed wrongly and be 10 - models are perhaps 1.6 16v ones.

Thanks for the help, right pads fitted, just cheapies (it's the wife's car and never gets up to speed or any distance). It was a shame really, 'cause the Pagid were a good deal at less than £22.

Xantia Exclusive reversing mirror

by Mandrake » 23 Sep 2014, 18:50

First post

Hi All,

My S1 Xantia V6 exclusive has the auto dipping rear view mirror on the passenger side but I've come to realise it doesn't work properly. :(

More specifically it doesn't come back to the correct place when it switches between the two positions. If I adjust the position to be optimal when driving, next time I put it into reverse then back...

Last post

My XM used to do it intermittently Simon and got much better the more the car was used... I think it's just lack of exercise and use.

If you can, pop the mirror bit off and get some light lube worked in around the gearset behind it. The mechanism is quite an interesting one...

although Sir Jims suggestion is a good idea, i think on seeing that crank pulley i would just replace it straight away, as it looks quite bad to me,

to crack the crank pulley off if it really is stuck solid, go to a commercial/truck/bus workshop, and ask them to crack the it off with one of there little :yikes: air guns,

Don't know if it would be good to describe this as solved (because it shouldn't have been a problem in the first place), but I've decided to share this one with you in case you experience something similar. A few days ago, I was doing some Lexia work on my car (exploring, more or less), and turning on options that I think should be turned on ( :D...

Last post

That's BSI acting out, because if you set a wrong parameter for a wrong car, obviously some side effects can arise, which can't be explained logically ... that's why I'd really like a rollback feature to the DiagBox/Lexia .. you save the entire configuration and if you miss something in the next, it will automatically restore the last known good...

Citroen Xsara Key Symbol

Hello to all.

A year ago, our son changed the engine on his Phase 1 Xsara, 1.9 DW8. The car is 1999.

His key symbol was lit and we had a posting running on the forum asking for help.

The car would not start and the key symbol was lit because the coding in the diesel pump on the replacement engine did not respond to the original ignition/key of...

How to remove rubber seal from front Bosch brake calipers, C5 I 2.2 HDI?

i would think the lip of the seal sits into a groove on the inside of the piston/caliper body bore, so it is held in place by the piston being in the bore

hi all there so many websites trying to sell there own grade of oil and the nice lady at my local citroen garage didnt seem to no what she was talking about #-o so here is my question please can anybody tell me the answer i tried the search option many thanks in advance eric...... c5 2.0hdi 2002 green with a few dents

Last post

I was told that I MUST use fully synthetic low sulphur oil on my 2005 C5 1.6 HDi

That's correct, but the 2.0 8v HDi is not as sensitive to using the wrong oil. A 10/40w semi synth or fully synth is fine for it as long as it meets the specs.

Lexia with bluetooth interface?

I have been wondering for a while whether Lexia software would work fully, using a bluetooth module instead of cable to connect to the car.

Something like this:

or would it not work at all?

Just curious really :lol: :lol:

It will not work without a specially patched version of Lexia.

Its todo with the design of the tyres and if the selected company your using for you tyres.
All garages vary in prices and companies that they use, for there tyres, I cant explain why they price them how they do its down to them to price them.
If they cost more to produce then the tyre will effectively cost the customer so on and so forth, so the...

Problems after timing belt snapped.

Well Sunday just gone I was off out with the misses for a lovely drive when no power loud buzzing from engine and car crawls to a stop.

Couldn't see anything obvious so called green flag and guy said we had a snapped timing belt. Estimated cost £500+ :shock:

Towed home chatted to a mate and was told I could repair myself and he would advise me...

Last post

Does this engine use a crank pulley with a rubber damper in it, and is it timed via this pulley? They are known to fail, putting the timing out even when it appears to be right.
Crank timing done with a pin in the flywheel on the 1.4
Did you check the valve clearances when you re fitted the head ?

Hi All,

Been a while again but have need to ask some questions.

I recently got the wheels aligned due to some odd wear on the tyre to front left. When they did the work he said the connector rods to the steering were seized on the right side and he...

Thanks for responses people, always appreciated.

Feels a bit de ja vuey as I only replaced the drop links about a year ago. Was a nice job to do and it did make some difference.

According to the bloke who did the wheel alignment, ATS in Stroud, its seized (rusted) where the rods meets the steering, and he tried heating it it and hitting it to...
