thanks for the reply, yes it is the A/C sensor for inside temp :)

hi i fitted a new stereo to my 2003 xsara estate (not picasso) today and i broke a bit and cant find out what it does? its attached to the facia to the right of the lcd screen its like a little round vent, well on the back is a motor with a fan type thing, ive broke the catches and cant fit it back on, i took the fins of it and just left it as i dont know what to do with it, i do not own a manual, i have asked about but nobody knows, any help would be great thanks

the temp sensor was shot, it now runs better, the lights have stopped flashing the rad fan works normal now, also it was the crank pulley, the engine sounds sweet now, I think it was a good gamble buying this car, people keep telling me how good the hdi engine are, so all is good

thanks for the reply i have my car booked in for friday, going to replace the temp sender and bottom pulley, i would do it myself but my back is playing up and he is only charging £20 to fit :)

hi i need some advice please if anybody knows about this issue? I have a 2003 xsara 2.0 hdi estate, 128k runs great but I have one or two issues starting, from when I start it from cold, every now and then a beep sound starts and my stop light flashes also the temp needle goes up and down and the temp light comes on, at the same time my radiator fan comes on aswell, this is when the engine is cold so its not overheating, it does this on and off for 20 mins until the engine is at running temp then it goes back to normal, I have been told it could be one of the resistors behind the radiator? if so are the resistors the same as each other so if I buy one and it does not work can I then switch them over? I had a look on youtube but couldn't find much about it. I have another issue when I start the car from cold it sounds lovely, just as a diesel should, but when it warms up there is a knocking/clicking coming from the drivers side towards the bottom of engine, it sounds like one of the pulleys but it does not do this when cold, I been reading up and most people say if its the pulley? it will make the noise when cold also, any ideas? any help would be great thanks
