Xantia Rear Strut new boots gaiters soufflets

[aneesh84]

Hi Neil. I have explained my issue in this other thread.

viewtopic.php?t=69407

Since you have already experience of this, do you have an idea if the two gaitors 527204 and 527233 are interchangable. I need the latter for my mk2 xantia estate, but 527204 is locally available. Otherwise i will need to order 527233 from france.

Wish I could help Aneesh, I did have the unused boot lying around for a while but probably sent it off to another forum member years ago. I couldnt be definite at all about compatibility. Would it be easy enough just to get the locally available one , match it directly with yours, and either keep it or return it for a refund.

Is yours unrepairable?

Regards Neil

Actually its just a small crack on the protruding part of the gaiter where the pipe goes in. Spraying some rubber sealant spray has actually stopped the leak, so I am thinking of putting some rubber sealant around and a clamp and just let it be (if any better idea, please let me know ). But in case it leaks later, it would be wise to at least buy a spare gaiter and keep for future. I dont think these parts are refundable after signs of installation and without trying to put it on the strut it would be hard to know. So maybe its just safer to buy from france and keep. Would like to keep the xantia for as long as i can....

I see the chap I got the double wire clamp from has retired and all his former stock was bought by this outfit in Hertfordshire. Nothing to lose by giving them a ring see what they have got.

Thanks Neil. Since I am in Portugal, I will try to explore locally since with the new VAT system importing from UK will be expensive and slow.

The 56 dia clamp with reference 26140919 is available from local citroen supplier. It was for the earlier Xantia/BX/etc. the clamp for my car is 5280T6, but probably they are compatible.
