Do I need new front bearing/hub?

Hi everybody!

I have an issue which might relate to bearings or hub... but I need educated guesses from you gurus!

I have a 2002 phase II Xsara estate (2.0i 16v 136 HP) that has, since I bought it a bit over ½ year ago, a growling sound on the driver's front side and this gets worse when braking, as if strain is being put on the bearings. Also,...

Thanks again, will do! However, it's too great a coincidence that the only affected wheel is where the accident took place... plus I have changed all 4 disks now and only that one has the intermittent rubbing on the brake pads. It's anyway worth a double check as it's a better alternative to a new hub... If I read correctly, you can't just unscrew...

Factory tint - what percentage is it?

by MonkeyMark » 20 Jun 2013, 12:21

First post

I know the front windows on a car can be legally tinted to 30%, but does anyone know what level the windows are tinted to from factory?

This is on a C8, but presume most will be the same.

Last post

A very convoluted question. It seems that % doesn't really apply, as no glass allows 100% light through as manufactured, so a percentage tint would have to take that into account.

An interesting read this :- http:// onclick= window.open(this.href);return false;

Citroen C5,Either I am stupid or something weird is going on

Hi, as its already stated in my previous posts, I bought a C5 recently, and kept it in my driveway as i was really busy to work on it to be fully ready for the roads... its got some anti pollution which i wont bother u all in here as its discussed elsewhere... the current problem I have now is most embarrassing.. Last night I tried to refuel it...

Last post

Hi there, had a similar issue with mine when first bought it. I agree with the above comments. The rubber covered spring is mounted in the top left hand corner of the fuel flap so a firm push with a finger at that point should have the door spring open a couple of centimetres allowing you to then put your finger behind the flap and pull it all the...

2.1 (XUD11) manual

by Old-Guy » 19 Jun 2013, 18:33

First post

I'm not a fan (to put it mildly) of Haynes manuals, but they do usually have a few useful photos and drawings. I've got the Xantia (93-98) service manual and two different ones covering the 1.7 and 1.9 engines, but now I could do with one that covers the XUD11 engine (in any vehicle).

Any suggestions please?

Last post

Jim, thanks for yet another valuable tip. Looks like I'll be keeping an eye on flee-bay and our local charity bookshop. I really ought to get rid of some of my old workshop manuals: anyone for a genuine Rootes set of workshop manuals for Hillman Minx/Hunter? Volvo 140? Triumph 2000? Avenger? (No, not Emma Peel). Ought to collectors items by now....

Incontinent 2.1td (XUD11)

by Old-Guy » 17 Jun 2013, 20:44

First post

Over the last few days, I've sorted my 'new' 2.1 VSX to the point where I hope it will pass an MoT tomorrow.
However, working underneath, I couldn't help noticing that the engine is very oil underneath. There's a small oil leak somewhere behind the top of the top of the engine. Unlike the 1.9, you can see down the back of the 2.1 at all! The...

Last post

Its ok, I was being sensitive. I had previously mentioned the Rubber joins leak on the 2.1's, and after both Jim and Dommo said it..... thats all.. :)

Sorry Paul :oops:

Happens to me a lot. Gosh, if I had a quid for every time it did I'd be driving around in a gold plated XM by now...

Now not sure how to describe this one, I have a sort of vibration or shake as if one of thw wheels was buckled but they are all fine. It is worse with hard acceleration but also if pulling away slowly say at 1800-2000 revs. The feeling is as if the engine was misfiring but checked and engine seems to be running fine and revs smoothly at...

S2 Xantia instrument lighting

by Stewart(oily) » 19 Jun 2013, 12:01

First post

Last night I drove my latest 2000 Xantia with the lights on for the first time, half of the dash appears to be unlit, then my new Haynes manual arrives and there is a note in the relevant section stating that some of the illumination is not replaceable ? Has anyone been inside one ? are there the familiar black bulbholders and tiny capless bulbs...

Last post

Hence why it's known around these parts as the BoL or Book of Lies..

You think the Xantia one is bad? have a look at the XM one. It's a riot :evil:

I'm not sure if it IS a riot, or CAUSES one!

IT is (fairly) simple to replace the bulbs, but (as usual) the Haynes BoL is talking BoLoX, as they have not updated for removing the S2 dash. You don't...

Well it's been a few years since I was in these hallowed halls. But I am once again the owner of a shiny Citroen. My last was a Bx Txs which I see is now up for sale again over on the Bx Club forum. The new motor is an 08 Citroen Berlingo Mk III Vtr hdi 90 and I picked it up last Saturday. I think it must be one of the earliest in the country...

Last post

I drove a 2.0hdi model at weekend. Fantastic space. Not a great front seat for my liking but great entry in and out of it.
Not great on the twisty though but it is a big ungainly size. Some amount of headroom! It may be a future possible but I certainly don't see it a fun car?

For a few weeks then it didn't happen again until now same fault has started.
Wont accept correct code, red light flashes and 3 beeps, input code again then constant flashing and beeping.
Have to disconnect battery to reset it and it's fine for a day or 2 sometimes then it happens...

RED LHM!

by Old-Guy » 16 Jun 2013, 11:33

First post

Next job on the VHX: bleed the old LHM out of the callipers after making sure the front callipers slide freely and that the pads don't 'hang-up' (one piston-side pad had been fitted with its 'pip' not in a cut-out :shock: no wonder the brakes weren't that good).

Decided to suck some LHM out of the bottom of the reservoir to see what it's like....

Last post

Really old LHM tends to be a rusty red colour from my experience, and also it along with accumulator spheres is one of the many things missed even on Full service history cars.

Hello!

Had a battery drain on my recently acquired 1995 sx turbo d, went away on holiday for 2 weeks and it was absolutely dead flat :(

Drained again over the weekend just gone to the point it wouldn't start after 2 days.

I expected the aftermarket stereo or removed car phone, but testing the battery current and removing fuses suggests it's...

I have a similar unsolved problem with the '98 VSX that I've just bought. Twice recently it has completely flattened its battery in a few hours. BUT, it's alarm (klaxon off!) has gone off for no apparent reason while I've been working on the car (the flashing headlights will soon flatten any battery). Yesterday, I found that the battery negative...

Hello again everyone,

Well, with a bit of perseverance, and no little help from the knowledgeable folk on FCF, I'm working my way thought this years C6 checklist nicely! Got to say, thanks for any help I've taken from the pages of this site. Hope some users have some success reading any threads that I have endeavoured to report back on with...

Last post

Hi, yes, I've done the height resets but, as I say, I really need to find the time to go get a suitable spot perfectly level and ser myself up for an hour. You measure to a given flat spit adjacent to each wheel, deduct it from wheel radius, check your live parameter data, re measure and enter the heights again.

I think I've got my answer,...

Xantia Exclusive wheels

by CitroenCrazy » 18 Jun 2013, 22:38

First post

Tomorrow I'll be driving past my favourite powder coaters, so this evening I thought I'd dig out a set of wheels that I've been planning to have refurbished.

Except, when I looked closely, they aren't actually set - all 4 look like standard Xantia Exclusive wheels, but there are two different rim widths, 2 are 5.5J and 2 are 6J. (I'd post a...

Last post

My HDI Exclusive estate is on 6J rims with 205/60 x 15 tyres, I thought that was standard fitment. I'm surprised yours are both on 5.5J rims.

ZX miss fire..

by DT2912 » 18 Jun 2013, 20:22

Hello,

My reliable 96 Zx 1.4 has developed a miss fire when pulling away in higher gears once it has got hot. It starts and pulls away fine from cold. Once it has reached operating temperature, If I ask it to accelerate in say, third gear, it will miss intermittently. It has new HT leads fitted but I am wondering about the coil pack. Is there...

I must say it sounds like the coil pack to me. Classic symptoms breaking down when hot.
