[citroenxm]

thats what the tester said... 270k ... Just about.. Bloody good Peugeot engine.

I said still doesn't use a drop of oil.. at all..

Brilliant result Paul, your Xantia certainly serves you very well

hi paul...i jus seen u say u took off the hdi 90 fuel system..is that the seimens system without tank pump and different filter housing?
i ask cause ive just had injectors out of one

[citroenxm]

All xantia hdi 90 had bosch fuel system with identical pumps and injectors and fuel filters..m

Could always whip them out and let the tips soak in acetone overnight and see if it helps

[taffy]

thanks

Well, I did NOT get a Job I was hoping for...

So, as things are VERY Tight, looks like my cheapest way to currently stay on the road is to stick another 6 months on this HDi and continue driving like an old fart!!

Now at 271k I wonder if we can hit the 300 in the next 6 months! Or I burn it because of the cutting out.

Im hedging closer to dooing a complete engine harness swap and possibly complete fuel filter housing swap too..

I THINK but im not positive the cutting out when its gonna happen is when the injector rattle switchs off, useually 3k upwards but Im not certain.

its well gutting mate
i got an xud now and im no better off now as matrix just blown and mrs STILL hasnt poped and overdue
but im still hopeing it will be a little more reliable lol
id love to see u do 300k just keep her steady as u go

Cheers Taff,

Had it all planned, waiting for the phone car, Weld the rear inner Cills on my Black L reg TD Xantia, MOT, Tax and retire the Exclusive.

But Alas, cant afford the MOT, cant afford the insurance swap on top of taxing. So Ill have to plod on...

[taffy]

i wish u lived closer mate i could have got u an mot from my mate
same here just forked out for car, insurance and mot and bk to square one lol!
just plod on for now mate but i think you should get the l reg on the road and swap all interier over...at least ud have a better idea whats wrong with an xud!
and its a classic!!
its just money as always aint it!!:(
tell u something thou the hdi exclusive is bloody high insurance group!! 11 or 12 i think ive got this pug and its 5
alot cheeper!!
well hopeyou find a way soon mate good luck mate

Xantias are a mysteriously high group. My 260BHP Impreza was cheaper than my HDi to insure.

Ah thanks for offer taffy but I'd NEVER will drive with a dodgy mot how little it may be.

It has to be safe and I do always want an external examination even if it is nerve racking..

Paul,

I'm so sorry about the job, I know how much of a disappointment it really is for you, Wish there was something I could do to help.....

Still that Xantia of yours just keeps plodding on.....

[citroenxm]

Cheers Steve,

Yea it does, though, I would feel safer if I could sort the bloody stopping out!!

[taffy]

have u tried it without the tunning box paul?
and yeah i know wat u mean..my mate overlooked no handbrake and no horn for me but he knows me and knows il fix it...hes the sort of mate u need lol but if there was something serious he wouldnt pass it..its only cause he knows me well
wasnt it wen u gave it the beans it s**t itself?
makes me think of a wire that open cicuits wen the engine tilts under throttle?
really was gutted to see mine go but i feel a little better knowing theres less electricals on this car
get that l reg on the road i been loving the sudden kick of the turbo on the xud!!
