Nothing happens when I put the pedal down. There is a short delay where the nose dives before acceleration is picked up again if I shift gears to quick. Its like the engine hesitates before desiding to accellerate.
Any ideas why?

Thanks, no I've not tried that. I thought it should be allright, because I just bought the car 4 months ago (used, from a Citroen garage). But I'll certainly try it.

Lars -
To your description in a couple of postings here - it seems your Xantia needs a good look-after all over. I fear it has not been given the love & care a Citroen needs [:X]
From own experience - even Citroens with a full service history - has been in very bad shape when finally down at price where I aquired them.
I don't think you'll get your Xantia better running - doing some service here & there - it's a full service job you need - over several weekends.
Try the ebay auctions (or www.dba.dk) to find a Haynes Xantia workshop manual (covering the model year you have) - you'll need lot's of technical references & pix's to find the whereabouts on your Xantia.
Limited info (full electrical schematics though) may be downloaded from here :

PS: If you need spare parts try the online-shop - choosing the home button up on page.
Even with postage & carriage added to DK - the prices beats our local spares dealers.
