Hi,
I don't use the Xantia as much now--the Punto auto being easier to drive. Pat likes Punto -easier for her to get into--Cit is too low. Sometimes when I do use the Cit, when I reverse out of my parking space, ther are NO brakes when I decide to want to stop. This is on first brake pedal application---on subsequent frienzied panic stabs at pedal, all is ok. Brakes work fine then all the time I use the Cit.
Abs is acting as it should---no lights on. I changed the 4 corner spheres recently--did citerobics. Could this be air in braking system??. I had this with my VSX 2 litre, but NEVER with my old 94 Xant td-with no abs. Seems to point to abs stuff- by coincidence ?. Would the non changing of antisink sphere be contributory?
Thanks,
Greg

I concur with Steve Greg, sounds very much like air and a good bleed should resolve the issue. Be sure to bleed a good amount, especially from the back brakes.
If bleeding does not fully resolve the issue, then replace your front flexi hoses.
