Rear suspension pipes required

Unread post by Keith Peters »

I own a 2003 Citroen C5 2.0 HDi 110 VTR 5dr Auto and it has failed the MOT due to 'Leaking rear suspension pipes' i am looking for anyone who can assist in repairing or supplying the pipes so i do not have to scrap the vehicle. Citroen do not seem to be able to help with parts supply. The part numbers are 5270 QA & 5270 QC. Regards Keith Peters

Welcome along, Keith. I've removed the contact details, not the best idea to post those in open forums, spam wave will follow!!

Pleiades in Sawtry may be able to help with the pipes.

Can someoone tell me are these 3.5mm LHM type fittings with the rubber sleeves? Or would this be one of the LDS type fittings? If it's the LHM type the Keith can go to most independent Citroen specialists such as Pleiades Citroen Hydaulics, or Eurocarcare. If it's the LDS style fitting [bad words] At a push I could supply some pre-production prototype fittings in a couple of weeks?

Belay the last message, I did a bit more digging, they are LDS style ends; but I've got good news, Chevronics have a pair of these in good used condition:
