Wanted fuel sender unit.

[YorkieG]

Hi to all BX ownwers,
I have just joined the BX club and hope to attend some of the functions in the future.
My request is does anyone know where i can obtain a fuel sender unit for my BX 19tgd 1991.
I can obtain a genuine from Citroen but i feel it's quite expensive.
I am looking for some cheaper options

Can anyone help please ?.
Regards Geoff.

Welcome Geoff, have you lifted your rear seats to check the conections on your old unit before bying a new one?

[citronut]

here is price and part No. from service citroen

Part Number Description Quantity Price excl. VAT Price incl. VAT Total incl. VAT Selection
92552015 RHEOSTAT 83.43 GBP 98.03 GBP 98.03 GBP


i agree its not cheap,

try supplying that part No. to some motor factors as they might be able to cross refrence it to one of there suppliers, at a lesser price

I had a problem about a year ago with the fuel guage moving all over the place particularly after i had just filled up.
looked at the connectors, cleaned and oiled them and it now works just fine. Just a dry connection, simply fixed.
May be worth a look.

Thanks for reply.
I have taken the unit from the tank and stripped it down to find that the metal windings were damaged beyond repair.
therefore unfortunately i need a replacement.
look's like i'll have to pay citroen price.

Hi Geoff, and welcome to the BXC,

I saw/spotted a spare fuel sender unit in my garage over the weekend (Whilst looking for another part for another member) if I can remember where it is, I can help you out with that one fairly quickly, if not I can remove one from the tank of my spares 17 TGD.

PM sent !

i just ran a check on service citroen with that part No. to see what other modle's it is used in, it came up as BX and C15,

regards malcolm

yep, C15 is indeed the same, but if you're going secondhand it's always better to get one form a petrol, and petrol C15's are a bit rare!
Although I do service 2 of them quite often..
