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.

Hello, I'm not sure if it is just me but that amount of white smoke - or steam doesn't look excessive for an engine that was not heated fully. If it was burning oil the smoke would be darker and more blue. If it was blue smoke at start up and low idle then likely would have been valve stem oil seals. If it is blue haze when the revs are raised and...

Just seal it up. Get it as dry as you possibly can on the inside first otherwise it’ll fester from the inside but then just carefully use silicone sealant to seal it. When you go to tackle the whole job you can knife through the sealant.

CX Wheel Weights

So heres a frustrating problem...

I am very very fussy about wheel balancing. Few tyre fitters do it well and when you drive a franch classic who's smothness is a major part of the pleasure of ownership, getting the wheels balanced spot on is essential.

The citroen CX had two factory alloy wheel designs in its production life. One design was...

Last post

I haven't had any weights at all on mine for several years now, partly due to the place that fits them can't balance Citroen wheels but more because the Sailun tyres have never needed balancing - unlike all the others that I have bought previously.

Turbo Charger No Boost?

by Toein1949 » 22 May 2020, 14:11

Hi All,

Just recently I have had a rebuilt turbo fitted to my 88 TRD thinking it would restore the performance but it appears to have no boost pressure at all?

I have replaced the intercooler with a new core so no leaks unlike the original item and the hoses are all good, pressure checked the system, the wastegate operation and removed the air...

Vinyl roof covering

by Toein1949 » 15 May 2020, 14:47

First post

Hi All,

Does anyone know of a supplier for a vinyl roof covering for a CX Estate?

Last post

Vinyl roof covering is usually vinyl with a fabric backing/base. As such it could be machine stitched, and then the stitching sealed, from both sides. Maybe be better not to seam at all.
Why not discuss with the supplier? They may be able to help, or advise, and with suitable adhesive, too.

Engine bay pipe work

by Bilkob » 20 May 2020, 19:17

So, the resto build/mod of my GTI T2 continues. It’s soon time for the engine to come out to fit a new clutch and a DTR T2 gearbox
While it’s out, I’m going to take the opportunity to re-do all the engine hydraulic lines. I’m slightly daunted but figure it’s a fairly logical process....
Does anyone know if there’s a chart/guide/kit to all the...

CX Series 2 Drivers Seat back

by Toein1949 » 13 May 2020, 12:37

Hi All,

On my 88 TRD S2 drivers seat back at the top inside there is a loose metal plate which rattles does any one know what this is?
Also can the seat back cloth be removed in situ to get at it, removing the seat not an option at the moment as the fixing bolts rusted solid!

New acquisition and plans for it (and problem)

by Bilkob » 05 Apr 2020, 08:49

So, I am now the proud😳 owner of a late GTI T2 and as long as I don’t give up/run out of funds I’ve got fairly ambitious plans for it....
The car has a really good solid shell, new front wings, nice glass all round and seems mechanically ok, no huge leaks anywhere, etc.....
I’ve now owned enough of these to know what I want to do to turn one into...

CX values.....

by Bilkob » 12 Feb 2020, 22:12

First post

This is always an area of interest to me, having owned probably at least 15+ CXs over the last 30 or so years including quite a few GTI Turbos, C-GOO the Series 1 GTI Turbo and E-KAD the Prestige Turbo 2 that I regret selling every waking hour.... :?
I’m currently the custodian of a tidy, but far from perfect Series 2 Turbo 1 in black with black...

Last post

The only one worth over 5k is the ID/DS, and not being a fan, I'm damned if I can see why. I'd have a CX GTI series 2 Turbo over any DS or ID, and even an SM..

New CX owner

by Triumffan » 11 Dec 2019, 22:15

First post

Good evening,
I recently bought a 1981 CX Pallas 2400i automatic.
It had lain in a garage for 8 years and I got it it through its MoT with only a couple of advisories, ie seat belt fabric beginning to wear and some welding required around the sills.
I found that the heater matrix had been bypassed as it had burst at one point. Stan Platts came to...

Last post

Congratulations on the acquisition, and getting stuck in.
Someone here called Peter has a good many workhorse years of CX experience, so will be able to offer suggestions.

GTI Turbo 'squatting under power

by Bilkob » 22 Nov 2019, 23:46

First post

So, after deciding to keep my GTI turbo I seem to have finally got the old crate running ok. After lots of work and head scratching the final upgrade was a handmade stainless exhaust after the old system disintegrated. This has made a huge difference to the car, it's faster and far smoother running
This extra oooomph seems to have thrown up a new...

Prestige for parts/breaking

by Bilkob » 27 Sep 2019, 10:22

First post

As per the title, I have a Series 2 Prestige that I'm afraid has seen far better days. At the moment most of it is there, but the interior has gone, and I'm slowly removing other bits.......
I'm putting here in case someone wants the rolling shell rather than scrapping her. :(

Last post

Actually, disregard my previous request, it seems the positive pole lead from the Battery to the Starter is not original, if yours can fit on an older Series 1 Prestige from 1981, I'll take that piece haha.

So yesterday morning at 6:10 AM my beautiful, albeit slightly rusted, 1981 CX Prestige arrived. It was a long journey of a few months of back and fourth talks with the owner of the car until we settled on a price (R8,500.00 ) and then he delivered the car on my farm early as he was on his way to Botswana to go pick up another car.

This is the...

Can anyone tell me what the colour of the Ignition cable for the Prestige is?

This is the Starter Solenoid cable (The black one) and I am having trouble with finding the ignition cable.

Also, there's this plug here that has a cable that's been cut off. Anyone know what it does?

Citroen CX Turbo 2 Prestige speedo failure

by szhrr5c » 04 Aug 2019, 15:41

First post

Hello All, the speedo on my CX S2 Prestige has failed, my local garage who are good with older cars tell me that the 'gearbox speed splitter' has failed, apparently a plastic part. that takes a drive from the gearbox with two feeds out (one for the speedo, not sure about the other - for the Diravi or the ECU?) Does anyone have a spare? Or know if...

Last post

You're lucky the other drive from the splitter didn't fail, leaving you with fully powered steering at speed!
I would also check that the drive cable hasn't crept out of the back of the speedo unit itself. This can happen
