Hi folks, there is a tick every 13 seconds from the front adn i'm assuming its the accumulator sphere. Also could explain pulsing brakes and overflowing LHM. Now i'm not too sure on what i need. Is the Activa sphere the same as other Xantia's? Will i need spair LHM? Also would really appreciate a quick "how to" on removing and refitting.
Real pain as i thought someone would of noticed this as its been in Citroen getting the Activa suspension reset. That at least works great now.
Also, its parkers correct? If your Activa has Air con its only got 135BHP as opposed to 150 on Non-Air Con cars? If it is true i take it its to do with the pulley system for aircon.
All help very appreciated as i just can't afford to take it back to citroen to get this done.
Cheers

I think it must be a miss print!You wouldn`t lose 15bhp by having a/c.Before ihad mine boosted,it put out 92bhp with a/c.The same as without a/c.You do lose 1-2bhp when a/c is on,but not really enouth to notice.135bhp sounds like a 2.016V non turbo(i take it the Activa is turbo!)
Not sure about the others,but my accm was ticking every 3 secs.Had it changed & now i cant be botherd to count now as i havn`t heard it!I think it should be about every 3-4 mins on anormal Xantia?
The accm sphere can be a pain to do,clearence etc...
Do a search at the top of the page,theres been some recent stuff on this.

NP is dead on your activa will loose maybe 2 bhp when the aircon is in use the aircon system has a clutch system in the pully so when its not on it makes no diference what so ever. as for the Acc shpere sounds right. there is a spere table on this forum the Jon posted a while back you can from there tell what spere you will need.
I know people reading this are going to ask about Activanet.co.uk the site will be finiashed some time soon, at the moment while the weather is good (mmm can i call it that?) I'm working on my 2 project cars as I need them both finnished by the end of the summer.
