Hey All,
Am new to forum and hoping someone can ease my worrys! I'm not totally new to the world of Citroens - used to own a 99 Saxo but am now the proud owner of a 1996 2.0 16v Xantia LX.
About 2 weeks ago I was preforming the first lot of major checks since i got the car. Got round to doing the LHM, set the car to max height with the engine running and discovered the float was lower than both lines... No warning lights had illuminated so I drove to my local Halfords and picked up some LHM and topped it up so that when in max height the float was just over half way between.
Now two weeks later when in max height the float is just resting on the lower red line, so my LHM must be going somewhere?? There are no puddles under the car at all and i've noticed no suspension/braking/steering probs!! Is this normal for a xantia?? Any Ideas??
Thanks!!!
Lee.

Ensure that the car is on flat ground when checking the level.
The only place where the LHM can go is into the spheres, if the diaphragm ruptures.
Check the spheres for proper 'springiness' front and back with the engine running.
At switch-on, the pressure warning lights should take 13 seconds to go out.
If it's much less, it's probable that a sphere is full of LHM instead of compressible nitrogen.
