Xantia Td front disc compatability??

Post by Timmo »

Morning all!
Just a quicky! Nosing through a seller on ebay who has some bits I could do with for the Beast not to distant, found front discs for a 2L 16v Or 2L Turbo, 283mm, now, if I rememeber properly, the Td estate (S2) has 283mm discs, so would these fit?? Or are the petrol lump discs a different offset??
Ould save a second lot of pstage that's all! ;-)

Ta in advance!

There are a number of different discs listed through the range 266, 283 and 288 diameter and there are two different part numbers for the 283 discs so I suspect you need to be a bit careful to get the correct ones.

I was going to dive in and say yeah, no problem..but a closer look on serice,citroen revales some differences.... There appears to be a FOURTH Xantia brake variation I didn't know about! Early MK2 Activas and 2.1TDs have 283mm dia dscs, but they are 26mm thick, vs the 22mm of the usual 283mm discs. S.C indicates 283 / 22 for a 1.9TD Estate - so worth a check with the seller that they are 22mm thick not 26mm, ad a quick jack up of your car to check that it is running 283mm discs (there are some oddities floating about...!). S.C conflicts with the seller though, as it says 2.0 16V and 2.0T are NOT the same - unless the 2.0 16V is an Activa (so not in the UK then....!)

I know that last line Mk.1 Xantias on the R plate just before the change over.. The TD xantias used the Older smaller PADS but with the LARGER diamiter disks!! The fitted a deeper caliper carrier frame to take the larger disk! But same standard TD pads.

I made this mistake when a customer had an R reg (Now owned by a fellow fourm member)..
