Xantia central locking part required

[harryjoe]

Hi all.

Having been browsing the forum this afternoon for a solution to my soaked boot carpet and pond under my rear seats, I will attack the issues tomorrow with some sealer

Does anyone have the small rod that fixes between the central locking actuator and the locking mechanism, this appears to be missing from my estate and I was wondering why the tailgate never locked with the plip. The motor/actuator works fine when the car locks.

I know it's a long shot, but I maybe lucky and find one

Ill have a look and see IF I can find it on service citroen, and if they are the same as the hatch you can have one, from the N reg green LX Im breaking...

Well amazingly, I cannot find any reference to the locking stuff on service citroen!

So, if you want, ill remove it and send it to you, and you can see then if it fits...

[citronut]

Paul select "BODYWORK" in the left hand column then "REAR SECTION" then lock

here is price and part No. for a MK2 XANT estate central locking servo push rod, it is NFP though

Part Number Description Quantity Price excl. VAT Price incl. VAT Total incl. VAT Selection
872544 CONNECTING ROD 3.93 GBP 4.72 GBP 4.72 GBP

you could either ask your local dealer to do an all dealer search, or do a goooogly search with that part No.

ah now I know where it is, ill look to see if hatch/estate use the same part..

Cheers Malc!

[citroenxm]

AND theres the answer.... They are a different part number...

Sorry HarryJoe, it NEEDS to come from an estate...


Gatgetgricey was breaking an estate, no idea what if anything he has left. Try him on a PM..

you could always fabricate your own with a length of wire coat hanger

Hi Malc & Paul.

Thanks for the replies, sorry iv'e been working shifts so not been online

Yes the leaking hatch took me a while to discover where the hell it was getting in, before looking on the forum, what a c***p design that is to get rid of the water inside the hatch, surely they could have come up with better solution at the design stage, after all the complex car Citroen have produced in the past , that should have been a breeze to solve, I could sling me hook under my rear seats with a good chance of catching some supper, it was full to the underside of the seats and has flooded the rear floor wells, it's going to take weeks to dry out, and the smell !! its like driving my sons slippers

Thanks for looking into the possibility of the locking rod too, I will try Malc's idea first, if not I will PM the forum member, I doubt if the local dealer would be able to get hold of one, but I will look into the other link posted.

While I'm here, does the meeting at Little Horwood still take place each year ? Went to that when I had my XM, Great weekend

[citroenxm]

No not for the xm it doesnt. We xm members organised our own last september at raf cosford, near telford. However the X rally is on at burghley house, Stamford, lincs. 26th april 2015..

As I expected, service.citroen confirms that it's the same part on both S1 and S2 - my understanding is that there are no differences in tailgates over the whole production of Xantias. I've just stripped a tailgate in the wrong colour to have it re-sprayed Vert Vega before rebuilding with overhauled wiper (rebuilt relay) - this leaves me with a load of spares - the current tailgate has the usual wiper/delay failed solder joint(s), disintegrating seal around the glass and one broken HRW element.

If you still want the rod (plus plastic retaining clip), PM me with your address.

Thanks Old-Guy

Theres an external difference though between them, I wonder if you have seen it??

Rear wipers park at opposite sides to each other on S1 and S2s ! So, an S1 motor wont do for an S2 and vice versa!
