Bernie - as I understand it the A/C firm are legally obliged to remove and recycle any refrigerant left in the system, hence it's not a buyback as only they are licensed to fill/empty a/c systems.

Last post

When a a/c system is gassed up you obviously pay for the labour and refridgerant.
What happens to the R134a when a system is depressurised, again it is obviously removed from the system but is it reuseable? if so does the operator buy back the r134a?

John -
Wheel bearings are a wear item, and their service life are HIGHLY dependant on a HUGE number of various factors.
You can in fact NOT anticipate WHEN to replace, and there are no scheduled replace intervals.
The only sure way to know, is when a new rumbling sound starts to accompany your driving.
Chances are you'll never have to replace them...

Last post

My Xantia 1.9TD has 175,000km and heard the rear wheel bearings need to be changed every 100,000km, is that correct? To those who have changed them, what mileage did they lasted?

Gassing in the coolant is normally a dead giveaway for a head gasket. Most garages have testers which can detect combustion by products in the water which will confirm.
Not sure about the diesel engine design but removing the thermostat on some engines can be risky as it can lead to uneven cooling throughout the cylinder head/block.

There's a hose connecting vaccuum to the carb. This fits onto a black plastic thing on the carb. If the black plastic thing has a small crack, like mine had, it lets air in so that the car stalls at intersections and traffic lights .... Something to do with the vaccuum advance on acceleration. It took me months to find that, and about 50p to fix.

The ticking interval should be at least 30seconds, if not - then your main accumulator sphere is flat, and can cause a vibrating brake pedal.

MECH....It may seem like a daft question but did you tap the rust off the edge of the disc before you measured it?
I have an Activa and have found that the standard discs bought from Andyspares with Lucas pads are good enough for all weather driving in the UK but seeing as the weather is generally much worse in Finland then I can understand you...

Hello!
I own Xantia Activa 2.0i Turbo -95. It´s time to change front and rear brake discs and pads, and now only desicion is to choose right material.
Price does not matter, and I have been looking for some EBC grooved discs and Redstuff pads.
EBC catalog shows that my front discs should be only 22mm thick with minium thickness of 20mm. But when I...

First post

As a rule of thumb the valves must be removed for a head skimming.
But since this is a rather troublesome job for the home mechanic, it's best to leave the bits on and let the shop do it.
They would only charge negligible extra.
The short answer : dont bother

Last post

Just taken the cylinder head off my ZX 1.9d and need to take it to the enginners for a skimming.
I have stripped off the extras from the head but wonder if I need to remove the valves too? There seems to be about 1mm recess in the head that the valves sit in? Can I get away with this?
Thanks in advance,
Billy

Nor sure of the position of the first cable join on the Xantia, but it can't be too far from the sensor, otherwise Citroën would have to sell a sensor with miles of cable on it.
