right, i have a 1994 xantia 1.9TD.
weekend task to remove the accumulator and change it over.
am i correct in thinking that I raise the car to maximum with engine running, turn the pressure release screw 1 turn until it stops hissing. leave the screw unturned and lower the car to minimum with engine running. I then remove the accumulator and replace before charging the system? is this the correct method?
any tips would be appreciated!
accumulator!

I have just changed my accu sphere and found this forum topic invaluable http://www.andyspares.com/discussionfor ... IC_ID=8549
Only I couldn`t find a strap spanner strong enough and didn`t have time to make one so used large cold chisel and hammer to "crack" the seal before removing by hand(tip also found on forum) Do make sure you do not damage radiator fins when doing so;but it came away easily using this method [:)]
