Hi.
I have a 2002 Xsara 2.0 HDI estate, and am about to fit a tow bar.
Fitting the bar seems straitforward, but I have been reading previous posts and seen mentioned multiplex wiring .
What is this, how can I tell if I have it, and does anyone have any advice/instructions about how to wire one in?
I was under the impression that this was going to...

Have a look at this- a bar test!!

On my BX I have an old set of Halfords bars, and for the wifes Kia we have the PreAlpina's-they were the only firm at the time who could supply the relevant fittings, and they came from a local spares shop who had the catalogue and they were in pretty quickly.

Last post

Earlier on last year someone posted some details of recommended suppliers of roof box's and bars. I've managed to lose the info I thought I had saved on the pc? Can't find the original topic in the archives either.
Anyone give me some recommendations ????
Thanks

I recognise these bits from my BX19 diesel.
This EGR system (cant remember what the abbrev is for) was a legal demand on Swiss & Swedish BX diesels in the late '80's, and some of these BX diesels ended on the DK export market.
Basically the EGR system takes some of the exhaust and recirculate it into the inlet - to bring down the pollution.

OK - I've found a likely donor vehicle for turbo-connecting parts but it's an 806/synergie/ulysse, rather than the expert/dispatch/scudo I actually have. THings are nearly the same, but:
The exhaust manifold on these doesn't just go to the turbo - it has an extra spigot for what I believe is the EGR system:

Follow top hose - the thermostat housing is at the other end from the radiator.

You could test the thermostat, but since you've gone to the trouble of dropping the coolant, I'd just replace it. Make sure you replace the o-ring so you get a water-tight seal when putting the housing...

The knock sensor does not work that way. You may remove the knock sensor and never feel anything on the engine performance.
The knock sensor is fitted to lag the ignition somewhat under certain engine conditions, and this is decided by the ECU.
In fact you may never feel anything if the sensor contact or cable has failed.
I'm not sure if this...

Some time ago, someone mentioned a performance increase just by cleaning the contacts in knock sensor. I suspect mine has a faulty line, sometimes it feels very responsive and sometimes it has some lag before responding. My ZX is a '94 2.0 8 valve petrol.
