Hi, The recommeneded tire pressure for a 1.2 clio would be: Front Rear - With 2 aduts in front and luggage 1,9 bar / 28 psi 1,8 bar / 26psi - With 2 adults in front + 2 kids in back + luggage 2,0 bar / 29 psi 1,9 bar / 28 psi This is as stated in the sticker located in the driver's door and the manual assuming you keep the same size wheel and tire combination, which in my case is: 175/75R14. Regards, Ed

It is the same with the petrol xantia having a glow plug light but the car isn't diesel,its just a standard feature on the dashboard,

The cooling fans have a failsafe mode to make them operate at all times in case of problems. Chances are there's a break in the temperature sensor circuit. Remove, clean and refit plugs around fuel filter.

ABS Brakes need servicing.

if you take it to a garage they will profesionally fix it for you for a amount of money that may be easier than trying to fix it yourself!

Normal operating temperature for your xantia is between 80 to 90.

To disarm the alarm without the remote control, just incase your remote/blip key doesn't work:

- unlock the doors with the key and enter the vehicle (this will start the alarm off)

- within 10 seconds of the alarm sounding, press and hold the ultrasonics override switch (to the right of the steering wheel) whilst turning on the ignition.

If necessary, repeat the procedure if the siren restarts (after 30 seconds)

I have to do this each time I disconnect and reconnect the battery.

To reconnect a disconnected battery without the alarm going off, simply put the key in the ignition and turn it to the "ignition on" position. Then connect your battery . Dead easy and peaceful too! Oh! remember to remove your keys before you forget where you put them!!

Yes very much so. They are built on the same chassis and share the same engines and parts etc. The main difference is that the Xantia employs Hydractive suspension (which provides an extremely smooth ride and eliminates body roll) whereas the 406 uses conventional parabolic springs.

Listen for a "click" when the pre-warm lamp light goes out. After the lights gone out, wait about 5 secs before turning the key. Could also be a blocked fuel filter, and check that you glow plugs are in tight enogh or diesel will need to prime every time you start it. Also battery condition!

No. They are entirely different. It's a matter of output as well as the type of suspension you have.

850 RPM,

Being a Citroen Xantia,it doesn't have a brake master cylinder. The brakes and power steering both work from the hydraulic pressure of the suspension system

you need to replace the idle regulator and re initaiise it. idle regulator needs to be replaced and then reinitalised via a suitable diagnostic tool.

Coolant thermostate you can find by right side the motor if you look from front of the car. You have to dismantle air filter, two rubber hoses to refrigerateur and you can see the double aluminum pipe with thermosensors in it. There is no gaskets but O-ring onlj. Thermostat is cylindic form inside double pipe collector and pipe form about 5cm diameter.

there isn't a relay on xantias, the power goes batery to fuses then to stalk and splits then back to fuses then headlights, hope that helps

It's really quite easy to replace disc pads, get hold of the Haynes manual from your local library or Auto store/bookshop, digest the procedure and then follow it carefully. You may need to replace the discs as well as the pads but this is also quite straight forward. Make an inspection before you buy any parts and check you have all the tools and parts you need before you start othewise the car may be off the road for more than a day.

remove wheel remove wire clip in the lower pin that goes through th pads and knock out the pin remove the handbrake cable and the two Allen bolts at the back of the caliper the caliper will then lift upwards and expose the pads

It should be just under the dynamo by the rightfront headlight.

Light driving-20.000 constant 15.000.

Just under one gallon at a basic service.

The answer should be yes, but there are concerns over the fuel pipes and fuel pump in certain engines - in general the fuel pipes are supposed to be degraded by the extra dissolving power of biodiesel, and the same with the fuel pumps - but only if its the lucas fuel pump, if its the bosch pump then it should be ok.

Straight veggie oil, as far as i have heard, will run the engine ok - some people suggest adding a SMALL amount of petrol to assist starting - be careful if you do this - seek proper advice - there is plenty out on the web!
