You can temporarily fix the joint with a few cable ties .. that will see you through the immediate future .. but replacement is the eventual option.

C5 sticking in Park

Hi all,
Back with a new problem. My 2.7 HDI C5 has taken to sticking in Park. I have done some research and am of the opinion that the solenoid or wiring terminations to this device may need some attention.

My question is: How do I remove the centre console?

Any pointers please?

I meant to post this months ago:

This problem turned out to be a relay which was sometimes not changing state apparently

Hi

I think I need to replace the back arm bearings, I replaced all rear spheres and the rear suspension is stiff. I can push the rear suspension down but it raises back slowly. I checked the height corrector and it is OK. So I guess the only reason for the stiffness is the back arm bearings. Is there a thread that describes how to do it,...

Last post

After a year the Israeli importer of I.F.H.S finally import the correct spheres. He says in Israel not more than a 100 Xantias are still on the road , so only once a year the local I.F.S.H importer brings spheres stock. The Citroen genuine costs a fortune, so I never mount them.

Just mount them and the Xantia rides as it should.

Myglaren has aready given an idea of the cost but can anyone give and idea of what it has cost them to have this replaced.

This could include skimming, cam belt and water pump.

Last post

We ended up being £600 for removing the head on the escort 1.6 a couple of months ago, that was the total price including the parts. It did not need skimming and all the valves survived although he reground them. Needed a camshaft secondhand from breaker and a new timing belt. I thought that was reasonable but was more than we paid for the car....

3 days ago my car (a 2006 model 1.6 HDI Xsara Picasso) decided to go into limp mode as the engine management light came on and it did not seem to have any top end power when moving through the gears. I took it in for a diagnostic (not got the output) but he assured me it was the EGR valve sticking. he then proceeded to ask where I got my fuel from...

Last post

well it would seem the turbo isn't working according to Andrew. There does not appear to be any play in the spindle but the tinkling is coming from that. Am thinking of asking Paris Autos for a diagnosis, at least I will then know what I am looking for!!

Coolant leak, does it sound like water pump?

by waynedance » 06 Jan 2015, 10:30

Hi got a leak on my Mk1 C5 2.2hdi

Looking at the side of the engine on the cam belt side there is coolant on the bottom left hand side, would I be correct in thinking this is the water pump?

Yeah going to get a Gates cam belt and pump kit.

Hi all,

So with my new car, the radio code is messed up, the seller told me he tried the code (written in the corner of the radio manual), and it was wrong, needless to say he was persistent and locked it out. I will remove the unit and check the back of it for another code. I know the manual says to wait an hour, done that (i've read loads on...

It is not so difficult to add an AUX if you don't use the tape. I have done this to both kind of S2 radios - with and without CD changer control.
You just new to cut the audio lines of the tape before the pre-amp/multiplexer. Then the mechanism should be put down, and when you press Tape the AUX will be active.
If you have a basic radio with the...

I would doubt whether ANY of the raw materials came from Europe. The steel might have been pressed in France but ore certainly didn't, the plastic and rubber are more than likely from Asia and the copper for the electrics possibly from Africa.

HAPPY new year!

Hi

Like a good boy, I disconected the battery before changing the sparks - god knows why.

It seems that somehow I left the key in the ignition in the on position... God know how.

I've reconnected the battery - some clicking as I did so - and after a minute of so went to turn the car on - that's when I discovered the ignition in...

Last post

Glad you got it sorted!

...just had to take the battery out of my Xantia today to stick on the charger as the plethora of short runs in cold weather over the festive period seem to have taken their toll on it.

Been tying to get out for a decent run for weeks but it keeps not happening!

Who wants an engine upgrade for their Xantia????

Though I would NOT use this particular engine, and the engine mount is a slight problem for the Series one but would be perfect for a HDi 110 engine bay, or V6 bay!

Its the amazement that it was an Ultra Modern engine with latest - then - fuel technology, but still managed just around 40mpg! The XM in 1992 with a mechanical Bosch pump was seeing 50mpg..

Xantia HDi hair dryer start

by graham1701d » 04 Jan 2015, 12:31

First post

Hi,
Some time ago I posted about my Xantia HDi struggling to start after being left over night when the temperature was 4 degrees or less. After not really getting anywhere with this fault I have resorted to waving the hair dryer about. Having tried aiming the dryer at everything from the fuel filter housing to the coolant temperature sensor we...

Last post

I cannot recall the pressure requirement, but if there is not enough pressure on the fuel rail it will not start either. I do know that it is a very high pressure requirement.
