Hi Guys,
I had a friend turn up last night in his '92 V6 XM (nice !!). We checked it's spheres finding most of them 'dead', both hydractive spheres were full of fluid.
Anyway I took it for a drive and my immediate response was "Damn the brakes are digusting"... "nearly as bad as my Xantias were".... So guys, where have Citroen (in there infinate stupidity) put the spring that is most obviously between the brake pedal and brake valve in RHD V6 '92 XM's. The brakes are appalling and bouncy like a ,... spring
seeya,
Shane L.

On RHD XM the brake valve is located rather odd ...
- under a cover right behind the engine from above. A linkage connects from the pedal. Dont think the XM had the spring built into this linkage.
With your findings of dead spheres I'm convinced that ALL spheres are dead - giving that odd brakes feeling known with hydractive system.

Looking at the spare parts diagram for the series 2 XM (RHD) there does indeed seem to be a spring spacer of the same type as on the LHD version -item 4 - its just that it presses upwards rather than forwards.
