I have a 02 xsara 1.4, the battery light has started coming on for a few seconds then.goes off again until it happens again. The belts are spinning and everything works ok. I have not long had the pullys and belts changed .... Is there anything I can check to rule out? Thanks

I have a three button key for for my xsara, does anyone know how to reprogram it, keys are so primitive lol.

Hi i have just had my car back from the garage and they tell me the is a leak in the power steering sensor. Is this a big job, has anyone had this done. How does a sensor leak? (it maybe me :D )

Hi Mate, I have took off the timing belt and revved the engine and the whine whent away. I have put the belt back on (i love youtube) and put some wd40 and the pully's and started the engine and the whine has gone. In hine sight i should of perhaps only oiled one pully at a time to see which one the troubled one is. After all this there is a slight humming from the area near the cambelt - i should imagine this is a garage job as of the protection that is around the belt. Would the humming suggest that this is time to change if so is it a big job at a garage. I really appreciate your help and opinions.......... thanks

Would this explain the noise in your opinion.

Hi chaps, Its my first time on the Citroen discussion website so any help is appreciated. I have just bought a citroen xsara estate 1.4 on a 02 plate. There is a slight whine from the engine when in gear and driving at low speed. My neighbour seems to think it may be coming fromt he water pump? but it is definatly from that area of the car. I have google'd the serpentine belt assemberly but i can't find a diagram for where the water pump is in relation to the alternator etc. If it is a water pump is it a diy job to change or will it have to go to a garage. Thanks in advance Rich Neale
