Citroen XM Forum

Just a quick update,

Today iv'e fitted the new front centre sphere, not as bad i i thought it was going to be !!, i deprssuerized the system , and put the chain wrench on , and to my amazement, it came undone with hardly any effort, .. and with minimal amout of LHM to contend with,

So after fitting it, it doesn't seem all that soft on the front, but matbe a good run will make a difference, BUT .. after fitting it all the hissing that i mentioned before HAS GONE !!!!.
It does not hiss at all, after getting used to it doing it !! , so it seems to have solved that, all i get now is a small very faint tick every 20-30 seconds, which is seem to remember ,is totaly normal . ..
So all that i need to do now is get a new set of ignition leads tomorrow, and see if it sorts out the small pinking iv'e got with it , since fitting new plugs a few weeks ago, !!!

Still got the dreaded manifold leak, but thats not so bad , as it stops leaking after a few minutes of running, so unless ( like you all say ), until it gets worse, i'm going to leave well alone !

HI Nigel

Glad it went well, the hissing will return soon though when the system settles down and the air finds its way out it will return.

Yes i was wondering if that would be the case !

Thought it was to good to be true

Ohhh, Dean your so right !!! , the hissing is back

Well it's like you all say , iv'e got used to it now, so i'm not going to worry about it, all part of being a french car , but i have now got back a lovely soft ride, which after all is what i was out to acheive.
Day off today so, i think it's on for a good clean,

At least you have got the soft ride and a good day for cleaning the car too!
