Hi al!
So i'm replacing the front shock absorber in my C5 -2010 hydraulic car (2.0 138bhp diesel). The problem is that the pipe is leaking at point B. in this picture.
1. Can one open this and replace the busing (partnumber?)? Or do I need to buy a whole new pipe.
2. That is the part number of A. and B.?

Hello, and to the Forum. It is (in my opinion) likely that you will have to replace the whole pipe.
I won't take long for somebody with better access than I have to let you know what the Citroen part number is, and how much Citroen want to charge you for it.

Yes, I am paranoid, but am I paranoid ENOUGH?

Ok, so 2 things. This is the High Pressure pipe. Under leak diagnostics for this area, the solution is resolved by replacing the HP pipe. in each diagram the area identified for the leak is in orange.
Piping on Suspension Actuator Sealing: O-ring on union retained by 1 fixing bolt Probability: Severe Possible causes:
Repair: Replace the piping | Sealing: Crimping on piping Probability: Average Possible causes
Repair: Replace the high pressure piping |
Pop up your VIN and I'll check the pipe part, but I suspect from your engine it is 5270WH. It costs UK £402.70 inc. 20% UK VAT direct from Citroen, so the equivalent where you are.
The seals under suspension listed are here:
(1) Water-Tightness Seal
DIAM 10 (Part No: 5280P9)
(2) Suspension Cylinder O-Ring
DIAM 10 MM (Part No: 5280Y2)
(3) Suspension Cylinder O-Ring
DIAM 3,4 TOR 1,9 (Part No: 5280Q0)
(4) Suspension Cylinder O-Ring
DIAM 4,75 MM (Part No: 5280V9)
(5) Hydraulic Tube Ring
DIAM 10 MM (Part No: 5280Y3)
(6) (MUL) Metal Clamp
DIAM 8-17 LARG 9 (Part No: 6981K0)
(7) (Mul) Metal Clamp
DIAM 7X15-LG5 (Part No: 6981K7)

Ok, that was hefty. It's just a oil film - I think I will wait with the pip in that case.
But the shock is really leaking. I suppose, from this picture i found, that the o-ring must be around 10mm. So that means it's number 2, 5280Y2. Right?
I tried to buy one from a Citroen retailer, but he insisted that it's included if one buys the shock. So I will wait until the shock arrives.
