HI
I had a technical inspection today and shortly after I drove out the car suddenly stopped. I tried to start the car but it was clear that something is wrong. After I lifted up the bonnet I saw that one of the connections on the fuel filter has jumped off. I pushed it back and primed the filter a couple of times and the car started again. But now there is a warning lamp that is constantly glowing. It illuminates a K letter ( and an egine or pump picture) and it does not disappear when the engine is running. How can I fix this and could it be that something got damaged during the fuel filter connection pop off.

The K light is to indicate an engine problem. Sometimes this needs to be reset with the aid of a Lexia, other times this will clear itself if there are no issues after the car has been run a few times.

Yes, I am paranoid, but am I paranoid ENOUGH?

Fortunately the K light cleared by itself and everything is ok now. I also got the inspection done without problems altough the inspector said that probably all the shocks are dead on this car( comfrot spheres )

Re: xantia HDI warning lamp
It is not unusual for inspectos to be lacking in knowledge on Citroens. One MoT guy said there was an issue with the headlight being off calibration (on a BX), and was going to fail it. The owner started the engine, and the MoT idiot watched as the BX rose to a level height.
