Xantia 2.0 hdi

Post by bill hughes »

Bit of a basic question but can someone please tell me do the brakes, steering and suspension all work off the LHM fluid as I am trying to trace a leak, first noticed that the little yellow disc was at a low level and the STOP light stayed on, many thanks :(

Yes

Where is it wet on the bottom? There are several common candidates, depending on where it is leaking!

Thanks for your reply Richard, I am hoping to get it up on a ramp tomorrow to establish where the leak is.

Hi Richard, I have found the problem fortunately its a pipe that has fractured, difficult to describe but its close to the bottom sphere in front of the engine, it goes from a plastic part up to a metal pipe, Citroen main agent only I guess.
Cheers Bill

Further to my last post, the rubber pipe is fitted with crimped hose clips, do you think jubilee clips would do the job ok, Thanks.

Generally they're re-usable Bill and if possible do re-use them and they put even pressure all around the pipe which is something a Jubilee clip will not do. I always do and have the special tool for them but a pair of carpenter's pincers often work well and even a pair of side-cutters intended for snipping wires can work well to close them back up.

Pop them off using a sharp pointed instrument like a scriber under the clip part...

Thanks for the tip Jim, I haven't removed the offending pipe yet but when I do I am going to have it framed, 54 euros for a relatively short piece of rubber return tube.
