Xsara communication network

Hi,

As has been mentioned, Haynes have decided not to produce a manual for the facelifted Xsara. I'm curious about the digital communication network that I understand controls virtually everthing on my car. Was this fitted to the pre facelifted version - ie is it detailed in the older Haynes manual?

If not, does anyone know of any sources of info - websites / other manuals etc that could be useful as I feel I should get at least a working knowledge of what does what!

Cheers,

Ron

Multiplexing on the xsara started on the pre facelift models but only the last ones,they came with a comfort VAN network controling things inside the car like radio,central locking,aircon & instrument panel.
The facelift model then came out with the same system then it changed to a VAN/CAN network which also controls under bonnet things like ABS,injection & autobox.
