Hi there im new to this forum but my xantia is'nt. it was a MK1 xantia AT 1994, previously used by my father and now down to me for 18 years, btw im 18 y/o. smile_cool.gif

Heres some problem faced recently, gearbox worn out, replaced with potong one and spent almost 1.5k. changed thermostat, water temp sensor and regular servicing. Also changed the muffler as the old one already rosak teruk.


since then, a bigger problem surfaced after few weeks which is stalling when coming to stop at traffic light.it happened quiet frequently. the idling rev is abnormal around 1.1k and sometimes when shifting from D to P , it rev itself till 2k before declining back slowly to 1k. tapi yang pelik, starting awal2 okay, idle rpm normal 900 rpm , rev also smooth, but when take a short drive near my house which is less than 500m and back to park, the problem starts again, shut it off and it will takes few try to start again, but when it starts, no problem to be found again. rev likes a champ. im suspecting it could be stepper motor? any sifu or guru could advise this young man? smile_big.gif

Hello

I am no mechanic, but why don't you visit these Citroen service centers provided by a bro here:

http://forum.autowor...showtopic=93611

They have the expertise on fixing the Xantia. once everything fixed up, there's nothing more comfortable than a Citroen. Good luck

Hi there... Im having the same problem with my gear. Now at Tanzim, Subang Jaya. 2 days ago, havent been there to check the latest update Anyway i suspect the worse, gearbox replacement..

How much is the 2nd hand complete gearbox from chop shop? What other parts are necessary to change when replacing the whole gearbox?

Where to get? Any citroen owners, who has done this for their own cars/customer's cars.. please share your story.

Thanks

Richard
