Recovering an XANTIA ACTIVA 1998 from death ...

[Citrogalctico]

During the pandemic, I bought a Citroen Xantia Activa V6 Series 2 for a very low price in Argentina. You can imagine it's not in the pristine condition I'd like, but given how rare this model is here, I took on the challenge. Inexplicably, the plastic housing that contains all the electronic components is broken. Perhaps someone on this forum has the parts I need. The part numbers, in the old designation, are: 9616550980 for the housing and 9616550880 for the cover. The factory replacement numbers are: 6547 PZ and 6547 PY. If anyone has them, please let me know and we can figure out how I can send you the money and provide a shipping address in Miami, USA. Thanks for your help!

Without looking up the part numbers, I don't know which part you are looking y. Can you describe the location and provide a picture?

Also, can you confirm that it is a series 2 Xantia?

Hi Citrogalctico

Do you refer to the main fuse box in the engine bay....if so, I may have one if the Mk1 boxes and the Mk2 boxes are the same.....please check.

Hello again, sorry for the delay in responding... and thank you for your interest in my problem. The box I need is the one that contains the electronic control units (ECUs) of a 1998 Citroën Xantia Activa Series 2. (It has five ECUs).
This box has a cover and is attached to the front right side of the engine compartment, just behind the right headlight and before the engine mount. I'm going to upload photos of the same car and another photo of my other Xantia Series 2 Exclusive, where you can see the cover and part of the box I need for the Activa. (Clarification: it's not the fuse box.)The factory parts diagram is included in the photos; the box and its lid are represented by numbers 5 and 6. Thank you for your help.

Ahhh, OK.....then sadly no I do not have one.

[xantia_v6]

I don't have one either, but the same box was fitted to all Xantia, except early diesels (which had no ECU), so it should be relatively easy to find one.

Unfortunately, it's not that easy. The Citroen Xantia Activa is hydroactive, therefore it has 5 ECUs. The others have 4 ECUs, therefore they are smaller. It has to be the same as the one we are talking about.......
I'm leaving this post open; perhaps someone has dismantled a Xantia with this ECU housing and could offer it to me. I know it might be possible to replicate it with 3D printing, but it wouldn't look aesthetically perfect, and the quality of the material used must withstand the heat of the engine bay....
