Can anyone advise how i can remove this small section of key from the bottom of the ignition barrrel?? Citroen xsara 2.0 2001 sx

Can anyone help a small part of my ignition key has snapped inside the ignition barrel in my citroen xsara 2001 sx td 2.0ltr hatchback does anyone know the best way to remove it?

should have provided more info sorry it is a citroen xsara HDI SX 2.0 td on a 51 plate hope this helps.

The motor is permanently on on the n/s headlight on dipped beam I want to pull the fuse to stop it draining the car battery until I can fix it, does any one know if the motors are independently fused and the am-page and location of the fuse??? or can I pull a wire of the switch or motor itself for a quick fix??

I think I have finally found out what the buzzing noise is on the front left hand side of my 51 plate citroen xsara 2.0 litre HDI sx is, when I try to adjust the beam with the dial to the left of the steering wheel marked 1 to 3 the one on the right moves up and down the one on the left is stuck and the motor is still trying to move it making a buzzing noise. I looked in the car manual to see if it was on a fuse I could pull until I get chance to replace it but when I pulled F9 on the box under the bonnet the headlight dipped beam went out. I just need to disable the motor to stop the noise, and the battery from getting flat. can anyone on here point me in the right direction please :wacko: :wacko: :wacko: .

Can anyone tell me where to locate the headlight relay on a 51plate citroen xsara 2.0 hdi hatchback?

Can anyone assist my car is a 51 plate 2.0 xsara 5 door hatch HDI SX turdo diesel, I need the procedure to reinitialize the key remote control after a new battery has been fitted, and I also have a problem with the alarm if I lock it with the remote the alarm will almost certainly go off at some point after leaving the car, if it is locked by the key in the door this problem does not occur. The only pointers I can give are I have had a picture of what seems to be the bonnet open displaying on the dash display I was wondering if there is a switch on the bonnet that may be linked to the alarm system and that it could be a loose connection here or something else to do with the switch???? just strange that i have no problem with the alarm when I lock it manually with the key and it still and it still activates the alarm and immobilizer??? any help greatly appreciated thanks Lauro.

I have an irritating knocking noise sound like its coming from near the drivers side door I believe there are lots of plastic covers under the car and have been told it could be one of these worked loose any one else had these knocking sounds or any idea where the noise could be coming from :D

Fitted new resister and up and running again thanks for the pointers.

Thanks again i have ordered the resistor will let you know if it solves the problem.

I have posted on the same topic but still struggling to find the heater resistor I got a haynes manual this morning my car is a 2001 hdi 2.0 the manual dates 1997 to 2000 R to W reg,petrol and diesel i dont think they made one after they changed the design but i would have thought all the info I would need would be the same. It shows a photo of the resistor behind the dashboard i will attach some photos the fan motor itself appears to be a bosch unit I also took some photos underneath the drivers footwell where I have also read on here is where I can find the resistor? I cant see anything resembling it? I will add photos hoping someone can help

Hello can anyone tell me if the heater resistor from a xsara 2001 2.0 HDI SX is fitted in any other citreon or pug its got air conditioning can anyone provide a part number? I am led to believe the thermal fuse can blow on the unit. thanks for any help. :D

Hello I am new to the Citroen forum and have just bought a xsara 2.0 HDI Turbo hatchback the heater is blowing constantly I have read through some of the feedback on here and it could be one of two things. The blower fan and resistor unit or the heater control unit? I have managed to source both parts the blower and resistor unit under the passenger foot-well the person who I am buying the parts off has sent photos to make sure they are the correct parts but im not sure that the heater control unit that is mentioned on these forums as being underneath the drivers footwell is the correct part he has shown me can anyone point me to where about this part will be under the drivers footwell?or can anyone provide a photo of what it looks like the blower unit is easy to find I just want to make sure I get the control unit correct. :D thanks for any help provided.

sounds like you've either owned a few citroens or worked on a few? i have had a look at the owners handbook and had a look for a reset code in the radio manual but cant see any re set code or info just wanted the 100% all clear to remove the battery without needing a re set code?

will I need to reset the radio code if I take the battery off a 51 plate xsara hdi? or can the battery be charged on the car? whilst still connected??
