Does anyone have a copy of the hydractive wiring diagram for a mk1 xantia?

Also I've got a communication fault on my 2006 c3 hdi with the abs ecu... the lexia can talk to it but it seems it can't relay the information on the canbus network...... if you've got suggestions or a wiring diagram for me to check against.

Cheers gents

I've not been able to prime the fuel system. I need to figure a workaround- but first I have to find out which of the 2 pipes is supply and return.
One pipe is bigger than the other and they have different coloured release buttons- white/yellow.
Once again your aid would be appreciated.

Hi all

I'm new to this forum so please bear with me!

I have a 2.0 HDI that lost revs 3 times in a 5 mile journey but recovered although now it is in the failed state. No EML!
The engine sounds almost knocky on tickover but is quite smooth. When I try to rev it, it gets to about 1,000 RPM splutters and throws smoke out of the exhaust. I expected...

Hi
I was told that if the LHM filter located in the reservoir tank of the LHM fluid is clogged, it may cause the symptom of harder steering. it sounds reasonable. now, my question is if there is away to lift the round cover of the tank with the hoses attached to it, without removing the hose clamps (they are the original ones - not the ones that...

Hi, new member here, just purchased a 2010 Citroen relay tipper 35 2.2 hdi. All good when checking but coming home on the motorway it was black smoking from the exhaust. Seems to be when put under load. Runs ok, maybe doesn't pull as good as it should but not sure if that's underpowered engine spec. Engine ticks over nicely and it's not missing....

Hi
I would like to have the user manual for my Xantia II year 2001. I've searched the net but to no avail.
Does anyone of you, members have it by chance or know if and where it can be downloaded?
I've asked the local rep of Citroen but was told that they dont have it any longer.
Thanx.
Btw - I'm glad to announce that the vehicle passed yesterday...

....nearly gave me a heart attack yesterday! :shock:

My X7 Exclusive is off to have its steering rack sorted tomorrow, its been parked up for almost 2 weeks as the leak was so bad I couldn't afford to keep buying the LDS! :lol: Anyway, I thought I'd get my mate to replace the rather-worn front tyres - winters that I've not got round to binning....

I can see a load of hoses in the diagram associated with the PCV system, but no mention of a valve:

Where would I find one, if I have one? Is it possibly integral to the plastic rocker cover?

I've been trying to track down an oil leak and so have been looking into the PCV system. While doing so I came across this diagram on Citroen Service that makes me wonder if I've been putting oil in the wrong place.

It labels the thing bolted to the front of the engine bay (4) as Gas Recycling Breather and the hose (5) as Engine Breather Hose...

Hi,
My son's 2005 C5 -136 bhp model, seems to go through handbrake cables and callipers quicker than ice cream melting on a hot day.
He had both handbrake cables and tubes, plus front callipers and front discs replaced last year- about June.
Now the cable has seized again, and the calliper on N/S/F. That's two sets each side.
In the 30+ cars...

Hi.
I need to obtain the key transponder code so I can get a spare key for my car.
Can I get the code using Lexia 3 or is it a dealer job only?
If I can use Lexia 3, could I have instructions on how to please.
Thanks

Not sure where else to ask this.

Whilst driving my 2013 Citroen C5 VTR Techno Pack 160 HDi earlier today, it suddenly popped up with a warning about the Automatic Wiping (didn't see if it said 'activated' or Deactivated' - but I wasn't using or touching the wipers! This closely followed by the Service light ....

I tried operating the wipers and...

Hi, I am hoping somebody can help me with this fault that has developed with my old xsara, first I will give some background info.

About 2 months ago, the motor started, for want of a better description, surging whilst under load. It is not apparent for the first couple of minutes driving and is worse going uphill. I took it into my local garage,...

Any suggestions where to look first?

If I leave my X7 for about 3 days without using it, the fuel drains back into the tank. Which means I have a leak, however, the leak is not there when the engine is running as I would expect to see diesel everywhere so the fuel pressure must be closing the leak.

Or, does the X7 have a non return valve in the...

Hello guys,

My C5 keeps going in limp mode, as soon as it warms up and it hits the motorway, I assume it tries to regenerate and all the lights come on (ESP, EML, Service, ESP not working and Antipollution Fault).
When I plug in the Lexia it says
P1447 (Permanent Fault, Dust Filter (FAP) Particulate Filter Punctured or Exhaust Differential...

Hello again,

So i have been traveling around europe for a few weeks and it seems my gearbox developed a problem, maybe from going fast on many autobahns. At first i thought it was the calibration, but i have recalibrated it a few times without improvement.
When the gearbox changes gears it makes a kind of clunk noise. It sounds like a double...

Safe to say it failed :rofl2:

Hi Everyone,

My Synergie hdi (actually LHD Evasion) has a leak where the hydraulic pipe enters the clutch master cylinder, and so far, I cannot find a solution. The original problem was the pedal getting closer to the floor and sinking while holding the clutch disengaged. I assume master or slave cylinder seals and found the pedal area saturated...

Hi, We were caught out by the clutch pedal going straight to the floor in an underground car park. Manually pulling the pedal back up didn't help. We have retrieved the car and I have purchased a new master and slave cylinder. The slave cylinder is very accessible so I started by replacing that. The master cylinder looks very inaccessible up under...

As per the subject - one of them needs to be NSR to have the coat hook in it.

TIA.

Hi folks,

Subject is my 1982 GSA Pallas.
I have a problem with the ignition switch contacts - for years it has had the occasional failure to operate the starter but when I have tried to stick a meter on, it's started to work OK! Typical.
Now, it failed to start at all so I found it was the contacts in the switch and have temporarily hooked up a...

Hi folks,

I need to sort out a squeak on the clutch pedal - Haynes tells me I need to take the steering wheel off but I'm sure that doesn't need to be done; apart from anything else I don't want to remove the damn whoopee cushion! :(

After removing the panel giving access to the fuses and relays there seem to be six screws to remove a metal...

Hi i have a 2003 C5 2.0HDi , approx 137,000 miles, and have a problem which i hope someone can shed some light on - im not very tech minded to keep the answers simple (ish)

My C5 has developed a Antipollution Fault, and the revs are limited to approx 3000rpm, which isn't too bad once up to cruising speed, its just getting to that speed.

Hi, does somebody knows exact location of coolant drainage plug on dw10bted4 engine block?

I would like to rebuild my Xantia's (II, petrol, 2001) hydraulic pump. the reason is that the steering is a little hard to turn and I suspect that the pump is weak (btw- I was thinking to connect a pressure gauge to the output of the pump to measure the pressure it provides, but I dont know how much psi/bar is the right value. if you have the data...

Hi folks.

I've jsut been preparing my Activa for it's MOT after not using it over the winter and thought I'd leave it idling on the drive for a while to get up to temperature. After I took my headphones out of my ears I noticed the car was idling on what sounded like only 3 cylinders, with a check engine light on.

I've had issues previously...

I have an intermittent airbag fault which flashes up from time to time, usually when the car is heavily loaded and cornering... Lexia 3 pointed to the side curtain airbag, so I set about replacing it with the one from my scrapper. I removed the one from the scrapper first so I could learn how to do it without worrying about damage, but I knew I...

Hello everybody,
I have a 2010 c4 hdi vtr+.
I have a prob with my gearbox
It shows service light and no gear shift.
I am getting P1394 (cc/speed limiter off request from geaarbox) fault code. I checked brake switch, cleaned the cc switches with contact cleaner with no success.
What can my car's problem be?
It happened after kicking down the...

My fuel filter (1901 95) has a fuel in, a fuel out, and a drain.
There is a large plug at the top with a + shaped inset. It turns round and around but goes no where. I think it may be a vent.
There appears to be no drain screw.

So, to my muppet question, what stops the fuel draining straight out :?:

Morning all
I'm in the process of evaluating my 104,000mls 2007 C4P Exc 1.6 HDi - Checking Turbo wear and oil feed pipe. DPF inspection and repair a leaking injector seal - all with a view ''is it worth keeping'' cos I do like the ride/drive ability.

Hi all,
Driving my C5 a couple of weeks ago during the brief warm spell highlighted the fact my air conditioning wasn't blowing cold. Ever since I bought the car last November a hissing noise was present when the air conditioning was on, so I bought an STP pressure trigger and gauge along with a bottle of gas. When I clipped the gauge on the low...

Hello, hoping somebody has had this issue before.

When I go to start the van the temp gauge goes to over temp and won’t allow the van to run. It’s been in the garage for 2 days and they cannot seem to find the issue? Has anybody had this issue before ? As I don’t want to be buying part after part for them not to be the issue!.

Dear all,

I was wondering if anyone had any insights into the feasibility of swapping out my 2006 C3 1.4 Hdi DV4 8HZ engine with a 2005 Peugeot 206 8HX variant. My car has done 213K miles and the recent cambelt snap has made me realised it's not going to go on for ever is it(?) so why not put an engine that's done 80K in it?

I've picked up on...

Can anybody tell me why my reverse Park sensors just give a continual beep and do not work?

I need a new pulley for my alternator. C5 2005, 2.0 HDI 16v 136

I am confused between the two Valeo parts to order.

588002 vs 588003

The latter has a smaller width.

Any ideas?

I own a C5 2.0 HDI 16v 136 2005.

I was having some hot starting trouble, so wanted to check up the injectors. (siemens VDO)

While inspecting the engine, I was surprised to find three Class 5 injectors and one Class 4 injectors. I was even more intrigued that in lexia the programming is set for class 4 injectors.

Since I own the car for past 3...

Hi all. Hope someone can help. I'm new to posting but have visited many times in past to read. I normally find a solution. This time I'm stumped. :?

This is probably a really simply answered question.. But I can't find the answer.

I have a 2007 facelift C5 which unfortunately finish its career as a vehicle. since it's equipped with alloy wheel rims, I would like to install them on my old(er) 2001 Xantia - if it fits, of course. your answer will save me the labor to dismantle two wheels - just to check. btw - I know that the tire sizes are not the same and if the rims will...

Hello,

I have an issue that i want to recalibrate the egs gearbox grid, but i dont want to do the last part where i have to accelerate to second gear and brake a few times.
So i was thinking what if i just skip the last part without accelerating when it asks me to and just click ok and finish the calibration process. Do you think the old...

What’s tgis part called and is it easy to fix please 0D390193-C91F-41DA-B444-A40B8AB4BBDD.jpeg

On my back bumper this bit's missing, asked at the dealers and they want damn near thirty quid for it unpainted and need to order it in from the factory, I thought sod that, it's tuppence worth of plastic.

I've got a suitable bit of plastic cut to size but I need to know how it's held in place, anyone know?

One of the main differences between the DW8 and DW8B is that the DW8B has an electronic advance, controlled by an ECU which reads data from a MAF sensor, and maybe some other sensors (I'd love to know what else).

That said, I have a Bosch pump attached to my 1999 DW8 Dispatch and in the event that I let go of this van and get another, I'd love to...

Recently the gear selection on my Citroen Relay Enterprise has been quite stiff when starting from cold.
Once it has run for a few miles and warmed up the gear changing is back to normal.
The master cylinder is common with the braking system and there is no loss of fluid.
There is no sign of loss of oil from the gearbox.
Has anyone any ideas?...

It seems that over time pressure builds in the system (I can usually feel the suspension getting a bit more firm) and when I remove the LDS cap there is a hiss. This weekend it was really bad (temperature related?) and will depressurise the system with the Lexia. Why would pressure build up in a closed system?

Hello,

I was under my van, sorting out the wiring, and noticed that the front bumper had come loose underneath - the reason was that the screw/clip fixings had all rusted away to nothing - turns out, this is a problem easily fixed with cable-ties... While re-securing the bumper, though, I could see that the rust behind the bumper is pretty...

Hello everybody,

I have recently had a major fuel leaking problem with my C5 Mk1. It leaked from the sealing of the fuel filter housing (which was 6 months old), and one of the fuel hoses. I have decided to replace it myself, as it seemed quite easy to do, so I’ve ordered a completely new housing and replaced it a few days later.
