old lager Posted February 2, 2008 Posted February 2, 2008 does anyone have a diagram of the removal and replacement of the hydraulic suspension pump for a 94 xantia 1.9,it is a two pipe version.i have managed to get one from a scrapper but i think it is a three piper there seems to be another inlet but i dont know wethwe it is just some kind of nut missing.also can anyone suggest an easy way to get to the hex key at the back of the pump,with the suspension down i dont think i can get a jack under.old lager.

DaveWalling Posted February 2, 2008 Posted February 2, 2008 Hi oldlager, To get to the hex bolt you need to remove the front wheel, then remove the shield under the wing. The pulley on the pump has holes in it to facilitate removal, as far as I am aware the only other bolt is acessible from within the engine bay. I have just got one the other week for mine and was lucky enough to be able to undo the nut on the back and then push it out with a screwdriver. Mine was a 3 piper, two metal pipes and a hose. If you look at my post "Citroen Service" you can find detailed diagrams for the whole system, you will need to register to use it, and some services require payment, however the diagrams are in the free section.

DaveWalling Posted February 6, 2008 Posted February 6, 2008 Hi old lager,It does seem strange that there is no gasket, definitely worth trying the liquid gasket, what have you got to lose!! Apart from a bit of time dismantling and reassembling the pump, etc. Will keep a lookout for your reply.Dave Quote
