2V, 5V and 13V mean 2, 5 and 13-wire connectors.
With a bit of luck, it’s French for 2-way, 5-way and 13-way connectors.
The ‘V’ will be ‘voie’, which is French for ‘way’.
For example, my Bitron has a 15-pin connector, but with only 12 wires, and 3 empty spaces in the connecting plug.
That makes it a 12V connector, even though it has room for 15 wires.
It’s the number of wires per connector.

So intercooler, air con condensor and the radiator are all shoved in at the front.

By heck, Citroen dont half like wedging things in :cry:

Wilkobob has his intercooler bolted on the top of the engine on his Mondeo P-Reg 1.8TD and it seems a much more easier place to have it.

Simply unbolt and flush with petrol, I dont like the sound of having to do the same job on a Citroen intercooler.
Quite simple when you think of it really.... Heat Soak The intercooler when mounted on top of the engine defeats the object of a 'cooler' because the heat from the engine rises into the Intercooler and prevents it from carrying out it's proper function.... much better to put it where you can get a flow of air :wink:
citroen put the intercooler on top of the engine on the BX TD (and i think the ZXTD as well) then moved it (probably for the reasons above) to the front on the Xantia

Its been some days since I looked at this again (what with rain and other chores). However, having read all your posts, especially the bits about scraping knuckles and putting aside three hours with a friend(!)) I think a little of the French approach has rubbed off on me, and I am going to chicken out and hand this one over to the auto electrician.

Many thanks for you help and suggestions - its great to know that there are so many helpful and interested folk out there willing to give freely of their time and expertise. Long many it continue !
