help req- Steering Rack Citroen Dispatch Van '97

Post by roddy18 »

Hi all

My grandad is in his 80's and has a citroen dispatch van hdi 2 litre diesel, 1997 reg, the steering rack pipes have gone and he is unable to buy a new one as they cost over £1,200 way to expensive. We have contacted a broker yard they say they have one but its for a - CITROEN DISPATCH HDI PANEL VAN 2001 2000cc DIESEL , they say it will fit ok? Does anyone know if this is correct?

Thank you for your help

Cheers Malcolm for replying, i was told i couldnt get just the pipes had to buy the whole steering rack. The pipes that have gone on my grandads are the two pipes on the rack not the pipes from the resevior and the pump. if you are able to help that would be great. where do i get them from? Chasis number is 8m419378

Cheers Roddy

firstly your chassis No, doesn't work can you re/check,

in the mean time i looked at a Relay with the XUD9 engine and here are the two pipes which go from the pinion to the ram on that spec van

Part Number Description Quantity Price excl. VAT Price incl. VAT Total incl. VAT Selection
00004020JW PIPE SET 40.54 GBP 48.65 GBP 48.65 GBP

if and when i get your exact details to work on service citroen , and if it then shows me the two pipes you would get them from citroen

i have also just done an all families search on service citroen with the part No. for a Dispatch rack, it comes back as fitting a Synergie as well,

i am planing on getting a second hand rack for my daughters Synergie which is leaking at the pinion,

maybe if the pipes are detachable i will have some i could sell you,

depends how urgent you require them as this probably will be in 2 to 3 weeks time

Malcolm

sorry last 9 digits of chasis are A12809317 do you want pictures of the pipes we need? We have called Citroen and they do not sell pipes seperately. The pipes on the steering rack i need are as thin as break pipe pipes

Cheers Joan

P.s we are in the western isles scotland
