Re: my xantia 95 sink down
hi and welcome
this could be normal as its a 95 it might be what we call a sinker, if so it should sink after switching the engine of,
what mileage has the car done

Re: my xantia 95 sink down
Is it a sinker? Easy to tell - has it got 6 spheres? One for each wheel, one on the front of the engine (Accumulator), one underneath at the back in the middle (Anti-Sink sphere). If it has no 'Anti-sink' it's a 'sinker'.

Re: my xantia 95 sink down
nice to meet you "Old-Guy" and "Citronut" in my country,xantia 95 is not a sinker(The sinker is mean not equip with anti sink valve,right?).
Start from 1995 ,xantia in my country have anti sink valve,the same as my xantia. My car have 6 spheres, one on the front of the engine,one underneath at the back in the middle,two on front suspension and two on rear suspension. Two anti sink valve ,front and back.
The mileage has 230,000 km. and change second hand engine( xu10j4r 16v / AT ZF 4HP14) two month ago.
My car is very smooth,i like it very much. but from the problem that i ask, i would like to know how to solve it.
For example,the front struct when i press it .it's go down not up , it should be go up when i release,( my front strut is fail? / must be replease?)
next it takes a short time to sink down after engine shut down.
Please .i 'm waiting for yours suggestion. thanks.
