HI Malcolm

My VIN number is: VF7**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff]. I already have access to service citroen but at my latitude prices aren't listed. Your support is welcome!! Just I know that a EV has a serial 96119952 :wink:

Regards

is this what you require

Part Number Description Quantity Price excl. VAT Price incl. VAT Total incl. VAT Selection
96119952 ELECTRO VALVE 118.65 GBP 142.38 GBP 142.38 GBP


also if you click the basket on service citroen and get a form up, just click back one then click basket a second time then you get the price comes up,

this always happens on the first time i go to basket on any one setion,

Hello!!

I had to return to add new information for my stick. A friend lent me two used EV's in order to continue the isolation of my internal leakage problem. Guess what ... although these electrovalves were used, it is impossible to believe that both the results were exactly the same. Tick rate remains the same (5 Secs). No one knows the state in which the donor car was. Also I checked the LHM flow rate and was the same. In Soft mode was quite.

Finally, to my desperation, again I disarmed the EV, stretched the weaker spring just a little bit, and repolished the settlement of the needle and the needle point itself with the same ointment settlement engine valves. I got the leak was almost 0 in both modes. :) but tick rate was the same :(
I have to admit that I haven't verified the rear EV directly, but according to the return pipe in the tank there is no return or leakage. :?

The strange thing about this is that sometimes I've reached times up to 50 seconds. Especially when I perform a LHM filter cleaning or just as I disconnect the pipe from the pump. Hey..... don't think its caused dirty LHM. This is all-green!! :wink: .

Repeat. No bubbles in the LHM tank.

The car doesn't lose height after being parked for several days. The car drops when the engine restarts, but it is only sometimes.

Again my question is if a height corrector stuck can cause excessive leakage??

BTW Once I saw at morning the car normalize its height and the tick rate was normal but suddenly I heard a kind of "clonk" on the back and then it down 1 or 2 inches and the tick rate to be short again. :(

Take a look at the technical guide in this link. It explains Hydractive 2 very well.

Try this link Juliso: http://citroen.tramontana.co.hu/technical-guide" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

The problem is that the forum spell checker changes a word! To use the link you must change the e in Citroen to not have two little dots above it. All then works!!!

It is a very good guide and also explains the Activa system very well too..

Hi

I'm back with some new videos. I would like to know your opinion about the status of this pressure regulator. It is difficult to keep the pressure in the range between 170 and 150. The pressure is close to the limit 140. Note when it reach 170 makes a "bounce" and down quickly to almost 145. This limit is easily broken due to the demands of LHM of the other components. This causes tick rate increasing and is becoming worse. Could solve this by modifying the thicknesses of the gauge rings that are inside the pressure regulator?

Thanks
