pressurising Activa system

sidtheranger · Post by **sidtheranger** » 20 Oct 2003, 03:09

Hi all, I'm new here and need a little expert advice.
I own a P reg Xantia Activa (2.0 petrol turbo) and have recently had a blown hydraulic pipe which fed the little damper at the nsf which is attached to the suspension leg and anti roll bar. In addition, the little black 'return' pipe has snapped at the damper end. Consequently the car dumped all its LHM fluid. I need to repressurise the hydraulic system but the Haynes Manual I have doesn't cover my model, so is it the same procedure as other Xantias???

It's the same procedure for all Hydraulic Citroen models.
Your main problem will be to prime the pump - since with a low reservoir level - the pump has taken in air.
Here is a description how :

When you finally have the pressure back on - then do the Citaerobics :
