Hi all
I'm new to your great forum and was wondering if anyone has purchased one of these.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dllV ... Track=true
I have been looking every where for one of these and being in Australia it is a bit of a challenge finding information about these great cars.
Any assistance in finding a Factory Manual on CD for my 2002 VTS Xsara would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

Citroen CD Manual on Ebay

Anybody ever seen one of these by any chance?
I suggested Matt post here as I bought a Xantia CD over here that was described as being "interprited from French by (name escapes me) into a very understandable English" along with a lot of other wonderful promises.
It started with a warning about breaching copyright, but when I got into it, I discover the copyright is on his logo and I have bought a common old Haynes BOL in PDF which as we all know is about as much use as a t!t on a bull.
Are these things the same or are they the real thing??
Anybody any clues??

Hi,
I have bought 2 Citroen CD's from Ebay and both have been pretty crap. The 1st was a Pug 806 ( Cit Synergie clone ) which had about 50% of the content missing and the 2nd was from Germany which had an english translation via Greek, chinese, norwegian and peruvian - all done by a Guatamalan.
Can't comment on the standard of the ones that you have been looking at although they do seem to be very professional.
Many things about his ad don't ring true however.
1 - Seller is registered as private, how come he has what seems to be an inexhaustable supply of CD for loads of different models which he implies are original.
2 - Dig a little deeper and look at the last item that this guy PURCHASED from ebay. £1000's worth of DVD copier and printer. Sounds very much like he is making illegal copies to me.
Anyway if your prepared to risk a couple of quid ( and lets face it, I was ) give it a go what have you got to lose.
Keep us posted and let us know how good they are. I may just invest myself

Hi all,
The CD in Matt's post on ebay is for the servicing data only and not for service and maintenance. It can't possibly be the factory manuals. He says it covers 11 models and amounts to 3000 pages. From personal experience the Series 2 XM manual is 1868 pages (approx 90% complete), the Series 1 XM manual is 1283 pages (approx 50% complete) the Xantia manual is 1587 pages ( approx 40% complete), the CX manual is 732 pages (100% complete for S2) and these are the proper factory manuals. I have no idea about the others but I suspect they must be inthe same order.
It is impossible for this CD to be the factory manuals for all of those models. There's simply not enough pages. I think the description has a little latitude to it. A sample page would prove it though. I suspect its like one of those Autodata manuals with the timing settings and the spark plug types etc.
You do get a nice label though. Seems to have spent more time on the label than the contents.
cheers

Hi Guys,
just so you realise, Don't buy CD's for the CX, GS, DS or traction from ebay !!!!!!!
These CD's are the real thing, proper factory spare parts and shop manuals that have been laborously scanned and saved to CD.
They are available free to anyone that wants them from many sources. Don't pay for something that was never intended to be a $$$ making venture !!!
seeya,
