Hi again

Anyone know where the breather valve is located on this wagon of mine. Citroen c5 mk2 (2007)
Or a diagram showing location please.

Here's the pipe shown at item (15). The part is 1505ZK, but is no longer available now.

Thank you marc - would you have a part number for the priming bulb and all pipes coming from/to it and any recommendations of where to buy it? VIN VF7**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff] Many Thanks

The Citroen original priming bulb on that comes as an assembly with the long length of pipe from the tank, you can though buy just the bulb from Ebay and adapt it without the need to buy the whole thing. YOu will need to know the size of the pipe bore as they come in a variety of sizes.
At least that's how mine was.

Is this a different vehicle than the C5 II I already have? The previous diagram was for your C5, VIN ending in 190.

The VIN above is missing a digit / character and seems to be a different vehicle. Please let me know so I can advise of the correct part.

[Gazzaman22]

Yes I love them so much I've 2
The 190 has became my spare parts car!
VF7**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff] is my drive-able one at times!

Ah at this stage I think it's time for all the unit alltogether, we have chopped and changed and bodged.....

If it's item (4) (Injection Pipe Harness), it's part: 1574W2, £157.19 from Citroen.

Okay so, it's not available anymore. Except I can rob one from my spares car.
Why would the breather pipe become blocked and would there be anything I can do to remove blockage before I take my spare off?
Is taking the tank off my spares car hard? And am I right in assuming that fig 15 is the one that I have circled in the picture?

[GiveMeABreak]

Yes, (15) is the vent pipe.

[xantia_v6]

Does that pipe vent directly to atmosphere? Is that a little foam filter on the upper end?

[Gazzaman22]

Yes, (15) is the vent pipe.

Thanks, Okay, would you suggest I take the pipe(15) and the filler pipe (as a whole unit) from my spare and transplant?
I presume dropping the tank to get to breather pipe is handy enough, but what's the filler pipe removal like - Is it a difficult procedure to get out?

[xantia_v6]

If that vent pipe terminates in the filler neck, it is not the one you want. There must be a vent to atmosphere to allow air into the tank to replace the fuel used by the engine.
