Hi There

 

quick question for colin lol.. my water in fuel warning light has been flashing at me for quite a while, and the last couple of days is on permantly! is this a definate indication of water in the fuel? is there a drain plug on the filter housing? or is just a faulty connection?

 

And secondly have been offered some bx parts for free!! are there parts which are common to the xantia? especially regarding the spheres as there are a couple of these included in the box??

Car has been a joy over the last few months, very economical and the only trouble was the clutch clip breaking last weekend... cheap fix, but very painfull and tome consuming

 

Many thanks

Chris

Hi Chris.

 

Sorry it's taken me so long to reply. I didn't spot your question. Yes it's definitely water. There's a drain cock on the bottom of the filter which should have a piece of tube coming off it. Open the cock, put the tube in a tin or jar and operate the priming bulb until fuel flows out. You will probably get some water first and you'll be able to see how much if you catch it instead of just letting it go. It may be an idea to change the filter if it hasn't been done for a while.

 

I'm not sure about the BX spares at all as I have never had one. The people to ask would be your local dealers parts department or a good Motor factors should be able to bring up a few part numbers for you to compare.

 

Cheers, Happy Motoring! Hope this helps. :unsure:

Non of the sphere part numbers for the BX's match those required for the Xantias. Not even the accumulators.
