PSI? Surely they mean BAR! IIRC the accumulator sphere for my Xantia HDi was 55BAR, which is around 800PSI! You might want to try AEP Direct, they have good prices and a fast turn around;

You will need to give them the vehicle reg, so that they can be sure you are ordering the right parts. Remember to ask for a pipe seal for the anti-sink sphere (as they don't come with them).

Hi Terry,

This article in the FCF Wiki

http://www.frenchcarforum.co.uk/wiki/Sphere_Table

Gives all the sphere specifications for a Xantia, including pressures and part numbers...

Hope that helps a bit...

If you need V6 and/or Activa details I can fill in the blanks...
