Hi
I have just purchased a 1996 Xantia 2.0 Activa Turbo. Extremelly pleased with car apart from one little niggle.
Was having a new radio fitted at garage and went back an hour later to be told that my hydraulic suspension fluid had leaked all over their floor.[:(!]
Upon inspection i noticed that the reservoir filler cap was loose and the pipe that is attached to it was left to hang freely (presumeably a breather pipe?). If it isn't meant to hang freely where does it go? And does the filler cap just push on and is it meant to be air tight? Also does the needle have to be all the way down when reservoir is full?
Also does anyone know where to get a workshop manual as Haynes don't cover the Turbo petrol models and i hate paying garages to botch my cars.
Thanks
Xantia suspension

Welcome to the forum Glynn.[:)]
The breather pipe hangs freely on mine as well,just drops down the side,& the cap just pushes on.Dont know if its meant to be air tight.
Try doing a search for "Activa" in the search facility at the top of the page,you may find info there.I know there may be some "cd" manuals.If you have any probs or questions,this is the place for them.

Glynn,
Activae get the same problems as other Xantiae, then some more all of their own. Activa owners are left very much in the dark on Activa-specific problems. I've not found much written up as manuals, but there's lots of useful stuff and wise advice here.
I'd be a bit surprised if fluid all over the floor was due to loose filler cap?
