Good morning everyone! I finally completed the rebuild of the 1.9 engine (XU D2E), but I don't understand how to tension the timing belt correctly....
Last post
Its the spring in the tensioner that decides the tension. You obviously used the cam to move the tensioner off the belt to change it. After releasing...
I'd left my BX19 GT out on the lawn for over a year as the garage was full. When parked up, the engine ran fine and had driven the car around often,...

I'd turn it back around to the position it was in initially and see what happens. Maybe you disturbed something to get the fuel flowing again by...
Good evening fellow BXers. Question regarding my 1993 BX 1.9d with the BE1 gearbox. There is up and down movement/play on the clutch fork which comes...

I got fed up with that push type of clutch release lever mechanism and converted mine to the pull type used in diesels and the16v.
Hello all BX-drivers.
Recently bought myself a BX GT. Liked it since I borrowed one from the Citroen dealer in the early 90´s after driving my BX 16...

I was surprised that my first BX, a 1989 GTi did not have a trip computer. In fact this drivers information device was not fitted to BXs as standard...
On my BX Sport, the RHR brake disc has a series of 8 holes drilled through the disc. Mounted off the caliper is a bracket with a some sort of pick up...

Have you lifted the back seat to see if there are any clues? Does the speedo work? I'm wondering if it failed and someone used an electric one or...
I have a a failed horn switch on my Sport.
It is sort of intermittent insofaras I did get one short toot by wiggling it but no more.
I have acquired...

Are you sure that it is the switch as it could be the horn or horns and the earth wiring to them under the front wing. I only know how to remove the...
Hi all, yesterday I tried to check what is going on with my turbo because the car seems to lack power and put out some black smoke and higher revs...
Last post
Thanks. Haynes manual for Citroen diesels and French BX Diesel manual agree with you. Undoing the lower mount link allows engine to move lean a bit....
Could anyone who runs a petrol BX advise if is best / ok to run on standard unleaded or standard unleaded with an additive or super unleaded please?...

Thanks for reply . I can get super unleaded where I live here so I'll go with that
Hey all.
I've been having an issue with my BX that has finally gotten on top of my nerves. Namely there is this annoying ticking/static noise coming...
Last post
The cables do wear and get noisy and the speedo head can do likewise too. Have you tried disconnecting the cable at the speedo end for diagnosis...
Hi. Trying to find out why nothing electrical on my hatchback boot lid works.

Finally got to the bottom of this and solution was really simple.
As Jaba says the wires run flat along floor to back of car, they run all the way to...
Since one of the front struts on our GTI is leaking badly and I have obtained a good second hand one I am planning to swap them tomorrow.
Can anyone...
Last post
Silly question - how do you know it is leaking badly? Does the LHM go anywhere but back to the tank via the strut returns when the strut is tired? (I...
Investigation of a clunk on my BX 4x4 estate revealed the middle subframe bolt, UK offside - that's the forward of the pair of bolts that pass...
Last post
The subframe bolts are the same on the 2wd & the 4x4, or at least on the mk2 cars, so one should be easy enough to acquire. I’d personally remove the...
I rebuilt my BX gearbox back in June, with all new bearings & seals. The car has done...

If you have rebuilt a gearbox you are more skilled than I but the mention of GL4 and sychro problems really screams out to me as on my other car love...
Good morning everyone, I'm Riccardo and I live in Piacenza, Italy. I recently saved a white BX break 19 TZS from the wrecker, but it will require a...

When I had a white estate the trim was definitely black in a satin or matt finish. I used a spraycan matt black when it needed some renovating.

Hey all!
I am once again asking for some advice on behalf of a friend. This time its about the plastic trim/cladding in the boot. They removed all...

They’re a bit tricky & fiddly to remove without damaging anything. You actually need to remove the C pillar plastic cover first, it’s held on with 2...
Hello everyone!
So this is an unusual post for me, as I'm asking for a friend. His BX is a 1984 BX 14. The problem we're having is that he can't get...

Push the door card in, and also the contacting plastic ring. This should reveal a pin through the spindle. Push it out and don`t loose it, then...
This has now arrived and planning on doing this shortly. Some sites mention a rubber seal that goes on the end between pipe and caliper. Chevronics...

1) Unfortunately, no, all BX vehicles use the rubber seal. They’re not like conventional vehicles, so there’s a rubber seal between the unions, it’s...
