Ok, on that website you sent it says it comes with Diagbox 7.62..
One question, my Xantia is and end 1994/1995 X1 model, is that going to be a problem running the lexia ? Im asking this because in all the lexia ive seen selling they say something like: Works on all vehicles 1996 till present.

Re: Xantia Activa Overboost problem?
I cannot answer that question, as I have not used my Lexia on a series 1 Xantia. I would hope that somebody who has can let you know. Sorry about that.

Re: Xantia Activa Overboost problem?
Any Lexia should talk to an S1 Xantia with the 30 pin Diagnostic socket but you will most likely have
to purchase a 16 pin EOBD diagnostic connector to 30 pin diagnostic adapter...
I would recommend you purchase a Lexia from a vendor who offers this adapter either as a part of the kit or as an optional extra rather than buying an adapter from a third-party.
Reason I say this is some third-party adapters don't work with certain Lexia kits. If you buy it as part of a kit then you have some recourse if it does not work as expected.

Re: Xantia Activa Overboost problem?
I can tell you that the Easy Diagnostics kit has that adaptor (well, mine has).

Re: Xantia Activa Overboost problem?
That should be OK then James. Is Easy Diagnostics the outfit with the good reputation around these parts?

Re: Xantia Activa Overboost problem?
Apart from the price. They are not the cheapest, but they do seem to have a good aftercare support service.

James, you are right about the ECU and boost levels...
If you are running the standard boost regulator and NOT an after-market manual boost controller then your problem is very likely to be the wastegate vacuum pipe has a hole in it... This will result in no control of boost pressure and the symptom you are experiencing.
The hole (or more likely a slit or crack) will most likely be found at the wastegate end of the pipe. It is not easy to see or check.
Hope that fixes it for you
Hello i have good news
It was not the vacuum pipe it was the wastegate actuator, 4 years ago when we sent the turbo for repair someone opened the actuator to the max so the turbo was always on max pressure.
I went today to a citroen expecialist and he noticed this problem, then he closed a bit the gap so the wastegate can have room to regulate the pressure. Car is now running at 0.5 ~ 0.8 bar and yellow light is gone
Now i can sleep at night knowing this problem is fixed i will focuse now on restoring the other bits of the car that need to be done
Thank you all for the help i will continue posting and later i will show some photos of the activa
