xsara stereo
Hello guys, Im new to these boards. Ive just got a Xsara HDi (90), Im really impressed so far, I was suprised with the build quality, its really solid. My previous car was a rover 220 sdi, which seemed to have a bit more grunt upon takeoff but the Xsara seems to have more shove in gear, Im planning on a reprogram, is this engine strong enough to go up to the tuners claims of 116bhp and 260nm? From other peoples experience what has the result been on fuel economy, tuners always say it will increase but Im always dubious of that!
Sorry for the waffle, now for my actual thread related question, my Xsara was supplied without the radio code (it had everything else!) so now just flashes at me! No big deal as I was planning on fitting my old cd, BUT I cant seem to find anywhere that sells the Xsara stereo plates [:(] , can anyone advise as to where I can get one from? Would Citroen garage normally give me the code for free if I go in as a temp measure until I find somewhere that sells the face plates.
Thanks for your help,
Paul[:D]

Question 2, Citroen should give you the code if you take along proof of ownership. As for the facia, welcome to the holy grail of Xsara ownership. Try a Yahoo or simalar search for Autoleads then E-mail them what you need. They srted one for my 98 Xsara VTR but it was through another company.

Citroen should give you the code for free. Just go to your dealer with say you V5 document tell him the problem and he should be able to get it up on the computer in the parts dept. as for the facia be careful when ordering as the Xsara Piccaso has the same haed unit as the Mk 2 Xsara but a different surround. A mate of mine orderd the wrong part this way. let us know how you get on.

Cheers for the replies fellas. Went to Citroendealer in Sale (manchester), they said they couldnt get the face plates!!![:(!] He said he could get my code via emailing citroen for £15! Expensive those emails arent they! Is it a load of rubbish what hes saying or what?
Ill check those other sites, ta very muc.
P.s there doesnt seem to be an obvious way to remove the stereo-nothing in the handbook about it either, has anyone got any tips-cant see anywhere to slide any metal clips down as you would with a normal din stereo..

You have to prise the facia surround off (carfully) then unscrew the 2 cross heads. It should come out. As for being charged ??????? My local dealer just said come down with your V5 and we'll get it no charge, In fact had to get the wifes on the week end as her head unit dropped the code again local Renault dealer no charge and put it in for no charge.
