Re: Citroen Synergie 1.9td.
They put the old cable back on but "freed it off". Obviously it needs a new cable which is now ordered and apparently in the post.
They also made repairs to the gear cables so I have ordered new ones. They too are in the post. I don't think I can change the clutch cable as I think I need access from underneath although I might have a crack at the gear cables as I think that's a case of slotting them through and clipping them on.

Re: Citroen Synergie 1.9td.
That's good Dave... Clutch cables are bloody awkward, especially at the pedal end! Is your cable the auto-adjusting type?

Re: Citroen Synergie 1.9td.
Yes fairly certain it is Jim. I can't see it at all in the engine bay as the engine is right at the back and obscures everything.

Re: Citroen Synergie 1.9td.
No instructions, but it only books at 0.6 hours, so it can't be that hard. Can it???

Re: Citroen Synergie 1.9td.
No technically I would have thought its quite straightforward if you've got a ramp. Its a bit cold for my old bones to be sprawling around under it in this weather.
I'll have a look at the gear change though. I think that's do able.

Re: Citroen Synergie 1.9td.
The rain stopped today. It was cold but we had blue skies and sporadic sunshine. I now have the clutch and gear change cables in my possession and will hopefully get them fitted next week. However I didn't waste the weather window and this afternoon I syphoned the old power steering fluid out of the reservoir, gave the filter a quick clean and topped up with fresh Dexron ll. Dinner was ready so no test but I'll be out tomorrow. I'll keep topping up till it's back to cherry red. I should hope the pas will be easier by then as well.

Re: Citroen Synergie 1.9td.


It looks like it's going to take longer than I thought to clear the pas. Still I'll just keep plodding away at it. It can only get better.

Re: Citroen Synergie 1.9td.
It does, I've completely changed PAS fluid before now - due to a ram change on a 405 - and even then it turned dark in no time at all...
I don't know why but it never seemed to cause a problem...

Re: Citroen Synergie 1.9td.
It seems a bit heavy Jim. More than it should be in my mind, so I thought if I get it clean then its hopefully not the fluid causing the problem.

Re: Citroen Synergie 1.9td.
Might be worth checking the tracking Dave - that can make the steering feel heavy...
The tyre pressures are OK aren't they?
