The pipe assembly that needs replacing can be separated from the one running along the bottom of the radiator.
It's a big job that needs lifting of the transmission.
£272 is cheap, here it's $920. :evil:

Late last year we had a similar battery drain problem on our 807. I doubt this will help (and sorry to take the topic off post) but to cut the story short:

Wife can't start the car before I set of for work so I jump started it. She also mentioned the gear-stick was sticky. After work couldn't find anything wrong, battery seemed fine. Lexia didn't...

I just had a new pulley. £35.
Whole job came to £163 and that was mostly parts (£123)
It's going back on Thursday to have the tensioner renewed 'just in case'.

Hi,thanks have check and cames up with drivers air bag fault stage 2,have no idea how many stages LOL

Hi all, I have a 2004 Citroen Berlingo with a Delphi diesel pump R84 48B391C / 105087EXF / DPCDWLP12. It has a seal that has gone and I've managed to get another used one to fit and replace but where could I purchase overhaul seals to repair the original.

Regards
Steve

Great result! Just had 4 tyre valve sensors replaced by Citroen F.O.C. so I'm another happy customer. Had a DS4 loan car on both trips to the Citroen garage and was quite impressed with the car. When I'm ready to downsize, the DS4 will be a contender that's for sure.
I've no personal experience, but would other manufacturers offer a clutch/DMF...

Would a Lexia session be able to diagnose why the fuel consumption is so poor, about 33 on average. There's also some very strange whistling/whining noises which also disappear at around 3000rpm so are probably connected. I'm pretty sure this is not a boost leak, the intercooler pipe inflates nicely.
I've braced myself for replacing them and with...

Compressor is earmarked already but pipework is still up for grabs :)

Thanks a lot mate

thanks for that jim I wont look any further for a replacement part as it runs better with out it as you said.it used to rev on its own after a motorway run for about 10 seconds but its ok with out it a bit of a weird fault really.

That's it all done, new sensors fitted and so far, the car hasn't dropped into economy mode. I asked them to look at it but forgot to check when I picked it up. They said it might be the sensor fault causing it but I couldn't see why. They might have done something else to fix it but I'm happy with the service I got.

Nice find taffy... but do this BEFORE putting the cam cover back on... turn the engine over by hand on the crank bolt with exfensions and a ratchet and be 100% certain that the engine will do a full cycle on all four cylinders before fitting the cover.. you will know then it be fine to turn the key..

With a broken rocker she cant open a valve to...

If only one came on the the other is no good - either through supply or the motor itself. Surprised that you don't get flashing overtemp and STOP light with the AC on if the fans are not running. Reason the fan came on when you added gas is that it puts the fans on high when the high side pressure reaches a certain value - which it would have done...

That is exactly the stuff I used although it was in the old style red plastic container. It was extremely dusty, the front label had come adrift, almost certainly from the same batch I'd used on the VSX 6 years ago. They don't sell much of this stuff so it could easily have been ten years old and I think it had degraded in storage. It certainly...

CJZ 1226. It's a NI plate so may not be on the system...

Hi

any help to my other problem

:roll: Always nice to get a bit of feedback. Wonder if he got the bulb replaced.

So if I open. Citroen Specialist inthe middle of Scotland, it could be popular :D

Probably not. There are plenty around, but I have to use the supplying dealership for my warranty.

If you opened a RENAULT specialist in Aberdeen, you could name your price! :lol:
The nearest Renault dealer is in a tiny village 40 miles away. Incredibly, a city...

I am probably wrong but i think there may have been the possibility of 2 different ball joint pins. The pinch bolt as far as I remember is an M10 8.8 bolt. If you want to be able to really welly it up replace it with a 12.9 bolt. They usually come in socket cap format.

thanks for that,
but i would not feel happy straining the case iron hub/pinch...

not sure really

im sure though someone on here has said what AND AGE >= 4 means but i cant remember,

also the first No.'s for each say kit in the description

Thank you very much to all, I managed to order the brake disc and pads by quoting the number 4264 W4 and 4253 34.

I've never been able to read SF. I'm just too simple and straight-down-the-line.

A roughly check if the car height is normal

Measure the distance from ground to wheel arc in low position.
Raise the car to max and measure again.

The normal height should be about half the distance between min and max - set the car to normal ride,measure the distance and compare it to the calculated distance.

What are the benefits of blanking of the EGR?
how do you know you need to blank it of?

Back in May I posted about the problem of getting a blade key to switch on the ignition while I tried to reconnect the plip. Having had no luck with a couple of keys cut by the local expert, I ordered one through my local Citroen garage. This one worked, and when I took it to the key cutting guy to use as a model to tweak the two I got from him...

I'm coming to this thread in July and it was current in May. I have a similar pedal-on-floor problem with my Xantia 110 Hdi. Again, it's after the clutch was replaced by a commercial garage. It's now about 100 miles since they did the job, and I know they had a lot of trouble putting the car back together when they did it. It's only when I stick...

Yaay. Nice one! Jim really does know how to fix an auto box then!

As for MPG, I remember bringing my V6 Xantia back from scotland, I took it easy and steady, only because old L reg TD was following behind and managed around 34mpg.. I was rather impressed with that. And that was with a dodgy coil pack where she would run on 5 now and again....

Yeah my brother is as unconvinced.
He has been told that for Berlingos that have this issue Citroen have told their dealers to jus say its a characteristic of the vehicle.

cheers mate it has air con,,,,

also wen this happened i managed to bypass the imobiliser by the pump and just ran a live to the solinoid,,,,i cant remember how thou...but if u can give the wires a wiggle while someone tries to start it...thats how i found it..

P0131 means the oxygen sensor voltage is staying low all the time, which would normally indicate a lean condition if the oxygen sensor was working. On the other hand if the ECU was receiving a low voltage erroneously (faulty oxygen sensor, oxygen sensor heater not working, shorted wiring etc) then it would try to richen the mixture to compensate...

Ah, so the wheels have bolts, not studs, I see it all now. There's normally a raised ring for locating wheels but I guess the Citroen likes to be different. Looks like none of the tools have ever been used. The splined shaft is brand spanking new. The chock has never been opened. The jack and tow brackets haven't got the paint scratched. The full...

No problem, I am struggling to put the miles on the car so as soon as it hits the 1000 miles I will change it.

Similar redundant? plug exists on the n/s end of my XM 2.1TD plastic inlet manifold.

Yes, I often wondered at its purpose Ken... In my innocence years ago I thought it was something for the XM...

I recently had to replace a front-rear brake pipe.

It was very difficult tracing the pipe runs because the pipes ran over the top of the rear subframe. I spent couple of happy hours under the car drawing what I saw on bits of card and came up with this.
This is for the rear of a Xantia 1.9TD SX non hydractive

If you can do a similar...

Only advice I have is avoid Lizarte (Spanish I think) as badly made. Bad threads wouldn't fit rear rams.
The only real alternative I have here is Monroe which have worked out ok as regards quality so far, ordering front ones soon.

Thanks again, will do! However, it's too great a coincidence that the only affected wheel is where the accident took place... plus I have changed all 4 disks now and only that one has the intermittent rubbing on the brake pads. It's anyway worth a double check as it's a better alternative to a new hub... If I read correctly, you can't just unscrew...

these unit can be repaired there is a guy on ebay repairing them for about £25

Thanks for the reply.. contacted 2 of the nearby members, hope to get some positive response

Is it possible that the good old cooked battery terminal clamp could also throw up the low voltage warning?

You wont get Saxo wheels on there buddy... You need wheels with a 5x98 pcd. I cant recall the offset offhand, but before I bought the ulysse wheels I was chasing some nice ALfa wheels. :)

Keep us posted on your progress komrade =)

Looks like you have found a similar fault as this one;

So there's no chance of getting any grease in the bearings without A Grinder then ? :) Mine have behaved themselves lately but its only a matter of time I suspect.

Mike,
Just looked at your reply to Paul's posting. My discs appear to be working fine. It may be done to lack of use. Will be doing a bit of the new citroebotics soon as SWMBO returns with vehicle.

Kenny

Not failed as such, just so dim that I can't see whether the air con is on or what mode the suspension is supposed to be in!

Thanks for the safety warnings! A few years ago, an acquaintance nearly lost his fingers to a ME109 that 'spat back' as he swung the prop.

BBA Reman offer a repair service for them.
Nver had any dealings with them so couldn't vouch for their service but their name does pop up fairly regularly and I haven't heard any complaints.
