Given the number of 'After-sales campaign' notices concerning Takarta Airbags I have been made aware of when looking up parts from PSA for members, I thought I would post a link to the following documentary that may be informative concerning the issue with these igniters.

According to Takata, the chemicals in the airbags’ explosive charge can...

My DS5, VF7**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff] should be eligible for recall, but my vehicle is in China and I cannot find the corresponding service provider. Could you please contact me officially and tell me how to handle this? ????_20251024002629_33_148.png

ZX 16v tickover problem

by adrianeaton » 21 Mar 2001, 18:49

First post

If your idle is eratic then the idle stabiliser may be faulty. If stable then suggest idle speed too low or possibly your power steering pump or something else driven off the engine is putting a higher than normal load on at low revs causing it to cut out.

Last post

I have a citroen zx 2.0 16v and I seem to have a problem with the power steering at tickover. If I am parking and I let the revs drop off whilst simultaniously turning the wheel the car dies. Its driving me mad. anyone know a fix for this. Cheers.

Xantia brakes

by thew » 15 Mar 2001, 20:25

First post

If all this work was done very recently, then they probably just need time to bed in. You could try driving a mile or so with the brakes on to speed this process up, although don't tell anyone I said so as this is not recommended. Other than that, the fluid may need changing.

Last post

I recently had the brakes repaired on on '95 Xantia LX TD. I needed pads and discs front and rear. Having had this done, the grinding sound that previously occured had gone, but the brakes felt hardly any more effective. They need a lot of pressure to bring the car to a stop and the effort to the brakes seem to fade (needing more pressure on the...

ZX Volcane TD rear knocks

Xantia Central locking problem?

by phil » 07 Mar 2001, 00:22

First post

I had the same problem and looked at everything. It is almost certainly the driver's door locking mechanism that is duff. It could be the passenger door, but it is most likely to be the driver's. Change the assembly - you will have to get from Citroen or a scrapyard. About £50 altogether from Citroen.

Interesting. I had this problem on a 94 ZX too. Does your car have alloy wheels? My theory was that either the wheels have become a bit out of shape over the miles, and that air leaked past the seal at the rim, and someone else suggested that the alloy gets a bit porous over the passage of time.

My 91 Ax GT Starts sometimes, sometimes slow. Other times i turn the key, hear the switch behind the dash as normal, but nothing happens. Ive replaced the battery with a heavy duty one, it worked for a while, then stopped working. If i leave the car for a couple of hours it works fine.

Rear Arm Bearings On a Xantia 1.9TD SX

by Jon » 21 Feb 2001, 18:30

First post

It is almost certain that the rear arm bearings require replacement, I would assume that the car has covered a fair mileage.The bearings (2 per arm) wear because they are so small in relation to the weight and movement that they have to cope with.
Elsewhere in this forum, in the common faults and fixses section ,there is a complete article posted...

Last post

Has anyone come across the need to change a rear arm bearing on a xantia? If so is there any easier way than dropping the subframe?
I noticed that both inner edges of the rear tyres had gone bald, and when talking to Citroen, they told me it was most likely to be the bearings, and to check if the wheels were leaning in at the top and out at the...

ZX TD - Noisy suspension & vibrations

by Jacko » 12 Mar 2001, 01:09

First post

Neil,
Have you checked out the linkages which go from each of the front struts to the anti-roll bar? There are joints at the end of these linkages and even with a small amount of wear in them it sounds if the front of the car is going to come off! You can certainly feel the knocks through the floor pan.
Regards,
Pete.

Last post

Car is ZXTD estate - 1996, with 70k miles.
Have previously (at about 44k miles) replaced all wishbone bushes and rear self-steer mounts, and more recently at 55k the front struts.
Car sounds as though the suspensiobn is about to fall off over any sort of rougfh surface, and at any speed in excess of 60 has a vibration thro' the whole car -...

ZX Volcane Handling

by Jon » 20 Feb 2001, 02:28

First post

Ok, this is difficult, but I will try. I speak as someone who until Xmas owned a very big mileage Volcane TD.
I would firstly do the obvious,like check the tyre pressures! I would then check the rear subframe mounts, if the square ones at the rear are shot, this is easy to spot as the subframe starts to drop when the car is jacked up. The larger...

Last post

Has anyone come across a TD ZX problem which leads to slightly wishy washy handling requiring constant correction to steering at speed? I have checked the suspension bushes front & rear and i'm begining to suspect a PAS problem. i'm told the PAS has some kind of a damper fitted, this may be the problem. any advice appreciated. Also has anyone had...

Diagnostic socket on Xantia 1.8 8v

by Jon » 18 Feb 2001, 22:15

First post

I thought that alll Xantia petrols had the diagnostic socket under the steering wheel, inside the car. have a look, there should be a small flap you remove. I'm not sure if your code reader will plug into it though, is a large multipin connection..............

Last post

I have just bought a gunsons fault reader and can not locate the diagnostic socket.
Gunsons book says it is green and near ECU and Haynes manual is crap,any ideas?

TD ZX Headlights

by Jon » 16 Feb 2001, 18:34

First post

I too had a 94 ZX TD, and the headlights were really good, but got worse as the car got older. What I found was that the silvering inside the headlamp units had become dull and pitted, and this was restricting light output. I eventually replaced one of them as it was so bad. If you look through the lense, you can see what condition yours are in,...

Last post

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what headlamps to replace the standards headlamps with as I find they are very weak compared to other cars!
Has anyone else upgraded their headlights to a more powerful set ie Brighter, Whiter and so on?
I own a '94 TD ZX if it is of any help!

2cv falling

by Jon » 16 Feb 2001, 16:10

First post

If the chassis is indeed new, and is not bent, or wrongly manufactured, I would suggest that the front suspension heights were set too low when the chassis was changed. This would cause heavy steering, and a low ride height at the front. You can adjust the heights each side by winding in the tie rods. The tie rod runs between the arm, and the...

Xantia noise at front right

by jmd » 18 Feb 2001, 06:22

First post

If it is the Alternator, the noise should be present all the time. Check the boots on the universal joints(beside the wheel)it may be split.

Last post

i have recently noticed a speed related noise from the front drivers side of the vehicle when turning slightly to the left.
the noise is very reminiscent of a sick petrol station compressor and sometimes causes a vibration in the steering wheel.
as this noise is coming from near the alternator, i think that it may be the hydraulic pump or possibly...

My ZX is now my own personal sauna, there is a smell of anti freeze and the bottom of the heater is wet. I have tried to fix the leak with rad weld, but without success. Is it the heater matrix and if so how difficult is it to replace. Any help would be appreciated.

Saxo Cambelt

by alan s » 14 Feb 2001, 02:40

First post

Chris,
I can only speak from the point of view of a BX owner, but in that case it apparently can be done DIY with success on the 8 valve model; I own a 16 valve & therein lies another story. Citroen/Peugeot dealers use a thing called a Seemtronic 87 which is some kind of electronic device for checking the tension. This is understandable as with...

Last post

Can the cam belt only be tensioned by a Citroen dealer, or is there an alternative way or tool that can be bought. Seems to apply to a number of Citroen / Peugeots

AX battery problems

by alan s » 13 Feb 2001, 12:02

First post

Graham,
I would suggest you either have an auto electrician look at the charging system or alternatively put a meter on the car to check on the charge rate. It should charge at 13.8 to 14.6 volts from memory, & I would suspect that yours would be in excess of that. Probable cause a dodgy voltage regulator. My guess is that you're cooking your...

Last post

Couple of AX questions:
1. What type of nut is required to hold down
the clamp which holds the battery in place.
2. In the last few years I have replaced the battery 3-4 times. Generally a bettery only lasts around a year. What things should I look for to find out what's wrong?

ZX 1.4i ANTI FREEZE

by jonkw » 10 Feb 2001, 03:53

You should have 3 to 4 litres neat antifreeze, and the rest water. Recommend using genuine Citroen Antigel to protect the engine against corrosion internally.

Does anyone know how much antifreeze to put in ? The owners manual is very coy about the whole thing saying you should ask your dealer to do it,and the Haynes workshop manual gives some details about doing the job but omits the essential information ie:how much or what percentage is required. With an alloy engine this apparently is vitally...

Aren't ZX's fantastic

I can't agree more. ZX TD, bought with 54k on clock, 14 months later 150k on clock. Only things gone are alt belt tensioner, thermostat seal and headlight bulb.

Last post

ZX - a great car I'm sure you'll all agree. I bought an eight year old one with 92,000 miles and have proceeded to add 14,000 in 7 months enjoying every minute and only having to replace the tyres. Basically, the best car I have ever driven.
