Thanks.

Hi Tom,
I'm not sure why you need a circuit diagram. The CX hydraulics are the same in principle as the BX hydraulics (which I'm sure your very familair with), which are the same as the GS, SM, DS, ID ........
The only *different* (not difficult) difference is the daravi steering. If you have problems with that just givus a yell. It really does never give problems though ...
What are you having problems with ?? Even all the spheres are the same, brake accumulator, main acumulator and 4 suspension spheres.
seeya,

I'd like to repipe the car 'cos in this climate, twenty year old pipes are gonna fail sooner rather than later. Seems to me that the DIRAVI might be a good bit to do a little precautionary maintenance on, and I wanted to ensure that I got it right. Bxs have only the one accumulator (But then I suppose that they tend to accumulate...)
I'm very glad of some BX experience before tackling a CX. While I know that they are very similar, I like to have correct data to refer to.

Hi Tom,
have a look under the CX. My CX only lived in the UK for the first 9years of it's life, yet it already has cupra-nickel lines at the back.
I'm sure if you get under your car, after what 18years ?? You'll find it's already been re-piped [:D] One less job to do !!!
As for Daravi, change the LHM at the specified time, keep the reseviour filters clean and it'll look after itself. [:)]
seeya,
Shane L.

On its way...2nd e-mail should have it. Slight glitch with attachment. It's a big file so I hope you have broadband!

Tom, if you have difficulty receiving these files let me know. I will post them on a site.

Looks like it all got here Beezer. Thanks to everybody for digging out this arcane stuff. I shall archive it all for dissemination to the needfully curious in years to come (Like when your local Citroen dealer says "CX? they never made one of them, mate. You're getting confused with the DX.")

Thanks Pete. I hope you have been off sailing! So far, so good. For anyone else in my situation, Anders has a pointer to the manuals on Citroens which he copied from Shane....

Oh that it was sailing tom, but it was just good ol work, which also explains why I've been away again [:(] [:(] [:(] PS did you get my e-mail about the BX?[:)]
