Re the 407 door seal issue and airbag warnings, after a few days of rain and testing with the hose, I gave up as water was still pooling on top of the bottom door seal and then running inside the car.

My solution was to put a few holes thru the seal with a leather hole punch tool which seems to allow the water to exit (the door seal gets squashed...

Ah correcting the Activa lean :)

You will need:
1 tape measure with 73mm marked
1 torch
1 short magnetic spirit level
2 13mm spanners
Ramps/pit - basically anything that lets you get under the front of the car with it's front wheels on something solid that's high enough as not to squish you should the car drop all the way down to low and make a...

Xaccers,
I need help with this . My 97 Xantia Acitva is lopsided.

What DOES the ROLL CORRECTOR behind the engine look like ? ( this is different from the height corrector, yes?)
could you post a picture?

The Xantia Active has 4 height correctors

I don't understand the 73mm measurement : distance between far ends of the threads either side of...

Please use this thread to post any Activas you may find for sale on eBay and elseware in this thread.

This is for the benefit of those looking for an Activa and to hopefully save some from the automotive knacker man and the Pugger Death Squads :evil:

Thanks.

This has been a quiet thread recently, I've seen one or two for sale but they are certainly getting thin on the ground now.

Here is one, which surely deserves a good home. Early series one with tax and test for £395, a bargain.

Activa Buyers Guide

by CitroJim » 11 Oct 2008, 20:40

First post

Generally speaking, the Activa is very similar to a normal Xantia and all the usual checks apply when vetting a potential purchase. So look carefully at Strut Tops, the Heater Matrix and so on. This guide will concentrate on those areas to check that are very much Activa-Specific.

If you have no pevious experience of an Activa and are...

Removing an Activa CT engine

by XantiaMan » 26 Oct 2009, 18:41

First post

Whilst this is still fresh in my mind, i thought i would write this down as a brief guide on how to remove an Activa engine. Although the procedure is fairly straight forward and applies to other engines in Xantia's.

1) Slacken the front wheel bolts. Set the suspension in high, and place axle stands under the front jacking points. Lower the...

Last post

Gareth, that's excellent :D Although Activa-specific, it basically holds true for any Xantia engine removal.

Using the built-in lifting eyes on the engine is the very best way to hoist. In theory at least, if you use equal length chains on them up to the hook of your engine crane, the engine and gearbox should tilt to the correct natural angle...

Activa Sphere Compatibility

by CitroJim » 17 Oct 2008, 21:16

First post

Activa specific spheres are now not generally easily available except from Citroen. They can of course be regassed if in good condition.

However, what to do if a sphere has failed and won't take a regas? Sphere diaphragms can fail from being run flat and these cannot be replaced.

In extremis, spheres from a normal Hydractive Xantia can be...

Have you seen the Activa club france .doc with the fitment of grey C5 spheres
on adapters - bigger surface area of diaphragm on same volume and
alternative jet . Interesting stuff:

How you can repair an Activa RAM to prevent it from leaking*

How can you protect a RAM to prevent it from leaking ?

I believe this should be made a sticky in this Activa area as this is usually
a big deal issue that will keep many Activae off the road and/or failing an
MOT. So, over to Kev's original post:

Activa door badges

by Citroenmad » 03 Jul 2012, 21:36

First post

My Activas door badges are looking a bit old, they are starting to delaminate on the backs, they look a bit like a bad chrome door strip. One is worse than the other.

Im not sure if they are still available new, however having bought a black 136mm for the boot from ebay and it being of original quality, im looking at getting the smaller badges...

Last post

I have my old activa badges, they dont have any sticky stuff left on them but they are in good nick if you would like them (and have something to stick them on with)?
