by GiveMeABreak » 06 Mar 2025, 17:55 » in Citroën

Disruption to Parts Service

Hi and welcome - we really need the fault codes. The warnings do not provide a definitive reason - only that the Airbag ECU has detected a fault on the self-check. You need to have it read with Lexia / Diagbox and put up the fault codes along with your VIN here for assistance.

Learning French

First post

If you can find them get the Michael Thomas tapes! There a totally different way of learning a language and much more like being in a small class of people and learning with them. My dad drives round with it playing all the time and both my mum and dad have leanrt a lot VERY quickly!
Rather than learning set pieces you learn structure and order...

My French Vocab is hopeless. I can order a beer, pancake and an ice cream but apart from that its pretty non existant.
So in a desire to understand my car better, and to stop me speaking English in a very loud voice.... I have found these - and had a little bid...

Anybody else tried these tapes before? are they any good?

I once had a Rover 600 driver trying to get me to reverse ONTO A VERY BUSY MAIN ROAD!! so that they could pass, I reversed as far as was safe and manouvred the Cit nearly into a hedge...there was now about two car widths for the Rover to get through yet they still managed to scrape their car along the wall of the opposite...

AUTO OR MANUAL

Maybe its the number plate and not the gearbox that is the problem.

Last post

It looks like the seller of this Xantia, should have spoken to his partner/wife about her choice of gearbox, before purchasing the car.

CX ITEMS & CITROEN CAR CLUB BADGE FOR SALE

by fastandfurryous » 24 Mar 2005, 05:57

First post

That Peter Russek manual is probably about as much use as a chocolate teapot. I have one for my Talbot express diesel, and it's a waste of paper. I might as well just guess. There are literaly hundereds of statements that contradict each other, nasty vague sentences, very few diagrams and those that are there are the bleeding obvious ones, like a...

Looks like it has problems as well.
There is a lean on the car, back left is high looks like could be problems there!
They have added a turbo badge on to boot lid WHY!! Looks like the kind of thing a boy racer would do.

Last post

This car surely has too many badges. If you take a look at the picture of the rear of the car, which is an early Activa it's covered in them.

It's not as Citroen intended, and is not subtle.

Why do catalogues never match?

by fastandfurryous » 22 Mar 2005, 05:34

First post

if you can get hold of a decent parts catalogue, they often quote functional dimentions of components, such as bearing diameters/thickness or track rod end taper/thread information. It often amazes me how many parts from certain cars that will fit others, the main one being clutch friction plates. All that matters is the hub diameter/splines and...

Looking up a front wheel bearing for my 504, and am scratching my head why do parts catalogues never match.
Trupart list my front bearing the same as a Renault Traffic rear, QH give a totally different rear one?
I was hoping to avoid the wait of mail order by buying the Renault one but not so sure what I'd end up with.
I also see in some listing...

Unusual use for 2CV bits....

Why on earth make a turbo diesel hot rod and why on earth use a Sierra engine?
A hot rod should by definition make the sort of V8 Rumble that sets off earthquake detectors!
Might put a bid in as I need a pair of red front wings...

Have a look at the front end of this.....

I came across this whilst browsing for a hot-rod project,I say no more..........

Does it have reasonably quick electric windows? I'd be interested in the electric window motors, and maybe the central locking motors for the doors.
How much do you want for these (if it has them?)
