Xantia Sinkin/Sticky Rear End!!

[ecohouse1]

Hi

I remember my BX TGD sagging down at the rear after being stopped a few hours and I notice that the Xantia TD Series 2 sinks at the back a few hours after stopping but that the front stays up. I have also noticed that sometimes the rear is slow in rising up on start up (the car sat unused for several months so I sprayed the rear height corrector linkages with release oil)

I sat firmly on the rear boot lip and bounced it down and she rose up - I take it that this is related to a sticky corrector?

With the BXs I always assumed a saggy butt was due to the Dozeur valve but it never bothered me.

I miss the "hydraulic lift on start up" with the Xantia's!

Cheers

Hi Alan

The sinking is probably due to general hydraulic system wear, probably in the height corrector, if it stays up while you are driving I wouldn't worry about it. Give it another couple of sprays with oil and it will probably loosen up.
