I have had hard time.
[Edit] about my '00 citroen xm 3.0l late 24v (rp 08599) [EDIT]
a few days ago, I felt a sudden bump in the steering wheel while
turning my wheel quickly in a narrow parking lot, lost all the power
steering assist at the same time.
I jumped out, was surprised to see LHM spouting around in front of the mission case.
the cause was this. steering pressure sensor.
was broken right in two. sudden hydo-system dysfunction was inevitable
It' no more than a month and 200miles since I replaced it because of
minor leak on 120000 miles!
It's a shame.
2 questions I hope here are many people more in the know.
1. I wonder whether I have to find and fix any problem within the
steering feed pipe such as provoking abnormally high pressure before I
just fit a new sensor. actually the failed sensor seems to be
aftermarket one, which the seller referred as OE number ; 401509Z as
opposed to genuine 401509, and said it's not compatible with my late
24v xm. it's only that I shoud have followed his discription ?
2. there is another similar part just next to it, named "HP-PUMP PRESSURE LIMITER" . makes me imagine that it limits the too much pressure in the
steering line. its wire goes upwards.
what do you think ?
thanks a lot for any advice in advance.
