Hey everyone ive been testing fitting the rear subframe together using my memory and pictures, well mostly pictures lol,the good stuff is ive got the subframe back together.

Rear sub

, but I’ve realised ive got no pictures of the k connections and the break pressure shpere were that goes to, does anybody happen to have a diagram on were those pipes go

Blimey I hope that’s NOT your front room Scott

Ditto! Looking excellent though

[Scottculli]

No worries, front room is safe! That’s just the back room mid-revamp, so ive got the opportunity to use it for some tinkering in it

It wasn’t until I looked at it more carefully that I realised it was a subframe and not an inlet manifold….

[CitroJim]

And it's good to see the subframe has been busy getting itself fit

Easy mistake to make at a glance

Haha yeah, it’s definitely been putting the work in, Glad to see it shaping up though, all that effort’s finally paying off.

Does this diagram help?
Assuming non-hydractive with anti-sink

Thanks a lot for the diagram—it’s really helpful and much appreciated.
Mine’s actually got Hydractive 2 suspension with anti-sink, so there are a few extra pipes in the mix, but this still gives me a good starting point to work from. Thanks again for taking the time to send it over

Beware that the anti-sink valve is connected differently on hydractive versions. I can't immediately find the correct diagram (one of my PCs has died), but see also the diagram for the activa (which is based on the hydractive version: viewtopic.php?t=85820

oh nice one, cheers for that. I’ll have a look at the Activa diagram, sounds like it’ll be closer to what I need. Sorry to hear about the PC—hope it’s not being too much of a pain!

[xantia_v6]

Oh it is an absolute pain. It locks up about 1 minute after being booted, but is not an overheating issue or a software issue. It is a NZD 3000 laptop and out of warranty.

Ah man, that sounds like a right pain—especially for a laptop that expensive and out of warranty. Any idea what might be causing it? Just locks up every time? I wouldn’t even know where to start with something like that.

Been trying to make sense of the rear suspension hydraulics on my Xantia, so I ended up piecing it together from manuals, forums and old pictures.
I drew up this diagram based on what I found—might help someone else out there. If anything looks off, let me know. oh and a big shout out to xantia_v6 for the link putting me in the right direction.
