Hello all,

 

I still own my Citroen C5 :) on Wednesday its arse dropped to the deck and it Pi**ed hydraulic suspension fluid all over the floor.  Appeared to be coming from the middle of the car, underneath the central pillar. I got the car home and removed the plastic under tray to reveal the single mild steel 3.5mm feed pipe, and two plastic return pipes.  The feed pipe bends up and over the Diesel fuel tank, and is leaking right on the bend!  Please see the pictures and you will notice a whitish colour corrosion spot which is where the leak is coming from.

Wondering if this can be soldered or braised?  Or is there someone who could cut and connect in a new piece of pipe for me?  I really cannot afford to spend much money on the car right now, and would be a shame to scrap her for the sake of a leaky pipe.

 

Thanks

 

Mike

UPDATE - I have decided to get rid of this car. Would anyone here on the forum like to collect this car for scrap value? MOT until 14th August 18
