Xantia suspension

Post by Birdeeraven »

My xantia (6 spheres) has three very small bore plastic pipes that have become disconnected in the region of the height actuator (rear sub frame). I cant find anywhere to re connect them so presumably they all "T" together ? Help! cheers all!

There is, I believe, a K connector that links the pipes (one of which would be blanked off, on your case).

Yes, it'll be either a lazy K that looks like a Y or a square plastic block with three or four entries on it..

The bad news it that they are often right on top of the subframe and no easy to get to.

Against that the subframe is not to hard to drop a few inches..

How did you discover this? massive LHM leak?

Be aware there's two black plastic pipes that are in this vicinity that don't connect to anything and are open to the air. These are the rear suspension cylinder breathers...

Only the small clear plastic pipes need connecting into the main rear return line...
