zx fuel filter hose

Unread post by dingle »

I have a citroen zx 1.9td M reg, 105k on the clock. I have two problems. Firstly, today I noticed that a very small hose about 2 feet long that leads from the fuel filter was dangling -- is this the water drain tube? should it be unconnected at one end? Should it be clipped to something? Secondly, my horn is not working. Couple of days ago I pressed it repeatedly and it worked fine then but hasn't worked since. The fuse is ok. I know it's difficult to access the horn unit but is there anything else i can check easily?[?] Could it be the switch? Is this likely to be a wiring problem or did I blow the unit itself?

The hose which is dangling - is it from the top or the bottom of the filter housing? If it's coming from the bottom, there's nothing to worry about, it's the drain off tube.

thanks -- its from the bottom. I'll just secure it then. I thought it was but its impossible to tell from the Haynes.
