I called Europarts today for replacement Spheres, they can find all on their system other than Front Hydractive - so question is are they the same and I order 2 rear ones?
Also I replaced regulator sphere on my CX Safari with XM Front Hydractive as it has larger capacity 50cl and pressure 70, are they the same on Xantia?

Front/Rear Hydractive spheres the same?

Or do you mean the front centre sphere? Either way they aren't the same.

They're different. They're both essentially accumulators but front/rear vastly differing pressures. The front is also a bigger volume as well.Diabolical wrote: I mean Front Hydractive bottom left hand side by the horn.
The front is 70bar 500cc whereas the rear is 50bar 400cc..
Here's the full list for a hydractive car..

Thanks Jim
Have now ordered all that's needed. Already had 4 corner spheres for non_hydractive, I fancy a soft/damper ride.
I'm surprised only 50 BAR is on Accumulator sphere.
Front Hydractive is the same as XM it seems.

That accumulator (SC/MAC) is the anti-sink accumulator, not the front one attached to the engine, be careful when you unscrew an anti-sink sphere as there is the serious risk of twisting the hydraulic supply pipe off, make sure you loosen the union then hold a spanner on the union as you undo the sphere.Diabolical wrote:I'm surprised only 50 BAR is on Accumulator sphere.

Aha, this is the confusion the Guy at Europarts and I had, he said: we have no Anti Sink so I said: don't bother with that I shall just have main Accumulator.DickieG wrote:That accumulator (SC/MAC) is the anti-sink accumulator, not the front one attached to the engine, be careful when you unscrew an anti-sink sphere as there is the serious risk of twisting the hydraulic supply pipe off, make sure you loosen the union then hold a spanner on the union as you undo the sphere.Diabolical wrote:I'm surprised only 50 BAR is on Accumulator sphere.
