I would certainly try it, you will need the correct type - hydractive or not. The only other possible problem is that the C5 type is slightly larger in diameter, its also a different shape so you really need a proper tool.

I believe it could be successful.The long life of a c5 sphere is a big advantage. I believe it can last about 10 years.
I know of someone who used c5 spheres in the xantia and was happy with the results. If you do experiment please let us know.

I'm sure I've seen Xantias with the grey UFO spheres from a C5 on.

One thing that worries me is hydraulic fluid, as it's not the same, lhm may be effect to diaphragm in side the sphere or not.
My xantia isn't a hydractive 3 sphere in front and 3 sphere on the rear
