Hi there Citroen people!,
Ive recently acquired (for the princely sum of £0!) a tidy x reg xantia hdi 90.
however the engine light is permanently on, but performance seems fine.
what might be the issue here? I.E what can I check on it, perhaps a sensor? (if so which ones are the likely culprits)
Thanks for the help to a newbie guys!!
New Xantia hdi owner.. engine light on though :(

Welcome!
It can be a FOREVER guessing game with the light on in a HDi engine!
You REALLY need to get it connected to a Code reader and have the ECU Fault codes read off, you could be chasing a fault forever!

Not sure it is a lot of use to you but I bought a 110 Hdi last year. Done 37,000 miles in it since and it runs fine. However I suspect that the engine light will be on all the time as the bulb has been removed. If I ever have to take the dash out for another reason I will replace it and see, but life's too short otherwise. If it was on all the time I would have probably have taken it out by now myself.

That's a lot of money for plugging in a Lexia
Have a look at the Lexia sticky and see if there is anyone on here near you with a Lexia who might do a diagnostic for you Sean.
As all seems OK, it'll only be something minor but the MOT man may object to it come MOT time.

Can I take this opportunity to reiterate the request that any willing Lexia owners froward their details (Postcode an willingness to read other member's cars, any limitations) so we can post a map of where each one is located, as per the Citroen Relay model.
Send details by PM rather than on an open forum.
I will only post an approximate location rather than a precise one, anyone wishing to avail themselves of the service can then take contact via PM or email and make whatever arrangements may be necessary.
