Hydraulic Leak 2.0HDi Xantia - STUPID QUESTION

[GiveMeABreak]

Cheers Marc.

There appear to be SIX pipes but hard to tell without further stripping.

Parts 1, 3, 11, 2 and 10 please.

(1) Hydraulic Pipe (DIAM 3,5 L=170), part: 488501 NFP
(2) Hydraulic Pipe (DIAM 3,5 L=926), part: 488502 NFP
(3) Hydraulic Pipe (DIAM 3,5 L=1001), part: 488503 NFP
(10) Hydraulic Pipe (DIAM 3,5 L=882), part: 488506 NFP
(11) Hydraulic Pipe (DIAM 3,5 L=748) part: 488507 NFP

NFP: No longer Available

Thanks Marc. Oh dear. It looks like they will need to be made up.

Gone down another rabbit hole as Jim has informed me that there is a rubber return from the doseur valve.

However, I cannot make any sense of the orientation of the brake returns you kindly provided. Just awaiting on Jim to confirm which part number he thinks they are as they look like LHD to me. I always thought that the fiches were correct orientation but there is nothing on those that looks like a return from the doseur running along the line of the bulkhead.

[Rhothgar]

Afternoon Marc.

Could I have the fiche for the rear braking circuit and in particular the availability of, what I think is the braking offside brake pipe please?

Either way it is the one with the coils in.

I've already provided those here on your other thread Roger: viewtopic.php?p=749957#p749957.

Cheers Jim.

Invaluable advice.

Now using my mate’s borescope. I can see what appears to be green blood accumulating on a bulkhead clip. It’s SO damned difficult to manoeuvre around.

Whereabouts exactly are you looking Roger? Give me an exact location where you have poked the boroscope and I may be able to help pin-pointy likely suspects...

[CitroJim]

No part number Roger, it's just a length of rubber pipe going into the octopus by the LHM reservoir...

Look at the Dosuer and just follow it back... I have a feeling there may be two so replace 'it' with 'them'

I’m going daft I think. I’m expecting the diagrams to look something like. I’m sure they used to be more representative not diagrammatic.

In that case, it is pipe 8. Could I have the data for it please ie part number, diameter and length? If I cannot get one NOS. Then I will have to make one.

No expert or indeed direct experience of Xantia, but is gear cables looking to be inside the exhaust heat shield (just spotted with brown rust and secured with a nut on a stud in that picture) normal routing?

Seems very close to exhaust indeed!

Gear cables run above heat shield on my similar but admittedly different 406 Coupe (EW10J4 petrol - but catalyst seems to be in similar position and gets rather hot petrol or diesel)

Well spotted Matt! These look more like the handbrake cables to me. The gear cables being a bit chunkier...

Both should be the other side of the heatshield... Looks like the cables may have been swapped without due care. As I recall, if it is the handbrake cables there's no need to remove exhaust or shield, just release its star clips and pull it out of the way where needed... It does not need to be pulled far...

I'd be very tempted to re-route them properly as soon as possible...

Roger, as Mystic Meg is on holiday , can you please tell me which diagram you are referring to in the thread linked above as I have provided quite a few and I have already provided Header names for each of them? Better still, locate the relevant post in that thread and quote the post where I have provided the diagram, so I know which number (8).

They’re fine. It’s an optical illusion. They sit a good 2-3” above the exhaust.

Never been touched from memory since I have had the car (10 years).

It's worse than that Marc.

[MattBLancs]

Ok fair enough

Sorry Marc but I don’t know how to link to a specific post. It was yours from yesterday at 15:31 entitled Brake Piping
