Are you sure its not just the seal leaking ? Although you can't see it in any of the pictures I've posted (sorry) there is a large green seal in a recess between the thread and the nut at the base of the electrovalve. I'm not sure if its an o-ring or a square section seal as I havn't tried removing one.NiSk wrote:Well I've just confirmed that the fault is in the electrovalve, following a tip from the Swedish Citroën forum's Xantia side, I disconnected the hydractive system by pulling the plugs from the HA computer.
Result. No leak!
With the computer disabled the electrovalve is not enabled, the plunger is down and the LHM cannot get to the joint between the valve and the iron body.
So that's it - off to find a new or better used eletrovalve!
