Citroen Xantia: The Main Breakdowns

Citroen engines are quite reliable and problem-free if maintained accurately. Gearboxes both automatic and manual are durable and unpretentious. Anyway one should remember that manual gearbox is provided with aluminium synchronizers and doesn't like sharp shifting, it isn't for races.

Satellite tooth breakage happens quite rarely, if discovered on time there is a chance of replacing the detail only otherwise there will be a need to replace the whole gearbox.

Hydraulic suspension Xantias produced after 1995 boast of is very reliable. "Spider-distributor", main brake cylinder, and road clearance adjuster problems are the ones automobiles produced before 1995 often encounter with. If power fluid is changed regularly hydrospheres will have to be replaced only after some 100 thousand km are done. Mechanical suspension components are very reliable.

There are hardly any complaints against the steering however sometimes right steering-wheel hub breaks down (if the rod still functions it can be replaced) and star coupling wears out. You should replace the coupling right away as worn-out joint happened to be jammed at steering wheel turns.
