Citroen XM 3.0 24V- So Maybe I Did Fix Something? 

The ABS sensor wires use Coax cable and after years of going over bumps they break internally. I normally cut the cable about 2" from the sensor and replace the section of Coax cable around the suspension area. Solder all joins and seal with heatshrink with some silicone inside. For me this has always been successful.

The later ABS Sensors for the Teves ABS can still be had for about 60 bucks, they will work on the earlier Bendix ABS Systems, the sensor connectors don't quite fit but you can make it work if you file off a bit of the plastic on them, watch out for the room between the sensor and the abs ring tho, you may have to file off a bit of the sensor where it is screwed on because the room in between would otherwise be to big. has been done multiple times by other people and me.

Well done with the progress and for sticking with it...Sure you will get it sorted soon

You got everything right :D I bet that the Golf sensor will work at the rear also as long as you get the clearance right. You also want to buy opposite side sensor to rear also (it’s just because of the angle of the connector). In your case I would use the original wiring because it’s really good quality if it’s in good condition.

0:56 was my favorite part

With the XM you'll learn to appreciate the small gremlins, since the can't be niggle-free for any significant amount of time, and there often is a trade off between small and big issues.

You should be able to find if that sensor is active or passive, then find a sensor that is compatible with your wheel hub and just change the connector.

Hi Seppo, try a 1 ohm resistor in place of the sensor across the connections and see what happens. Many thanks from UK.

Great job getting the ABS to just that one code. Now the fun begins getting out the old one. You can drill out the old one being careful.

Just google for this part number "abs sensor 30280/ZAW". Its for XM leter model for front wheel, but you can adopt it for rear as well. To change this sensor in a good way you need to dismantle wheel bearing hub. You have experience from CX so you know how to do it. It is essential to measure the distance from old sensor to sensor wheel and then punch it out. Don't drill it, its easy to damege the wheel sensor, and its hard to get rid of sensor pieces. According to original Citroen documents, clearnes must be no more then 0,5mm, other wise senor will work incorrectly, and the system will report an error on higher speeds. You can also use a front RIGHT VW Golf MK4 ABS sensor and just solder original wires. But remember, distance is most importnd.

Normally abs sensor are the same sort of diameter and as long as the resistance is the same you might be able to use one from a different car take a trip to the local car breakers

Cheers, from Brazil. Citroen didn't sell that particular model in the country but I asked my mechanic and he said that probably the sensor of the Peugeot 405 or 605 might be a good fit. They're reasonably priced here (around 440 DKK).

There are loads of citroen abs sensors listed on ebay in the uk from a seller called automotive direct uk including ones for the xm about £12 new

I have a number of used bendix abs sensors.. front and rear sensors are identical just with different cables.. rear sensors are also glued in the arm... so that will be fun to remove. A front sensor will fit the rear.. also there is two sorts of mk.1 sensors, a narrow style sensor body and a fat body sensor if you fit a fat body sensor you will need to change the abs ecu to one with a 02 serial code on the end so both sensor types can be used.. abs ecu with 00 will not work with later mk.1 sensors. It all helps you TO NOT spend a rediculas amount on a sensor needlessly..

Well done loving fault finding and progress. Viewers are taking part in project to help in build .

That's the great thing about the internet, all that shared knowledge is available out there when someone is in need of it, cos knowledge should be free and available to all, not paid for and hidden away & available to only a few... :)

Good luck with the senser thats a lot of money I hope the alternatives work

Hi, Finding used ones is really difficult, but they are most often reliable. If you can find a good rear left arm with the Bendix sensor (green plug, until 1996), it's the easiest solution. Perhaps a later ATE sensor of later cars works but these ones too have become difficult to find now. If not perhaps you can adapt Xantia sensors, but they are for other arms and for an ATE ABS.

Thanks

Very nice video again we all learn here and learn from each other. Hope you wil find good sensor somewhere. Is it different sensor from 2.0i XM?

Tak til Seaside Garage. ABS-sensorer, som har en målbar ohmsk modstand, består normalt af en permanent magnet og en induktionsspole, som overfører ændringen i feltstyrke til ABS-controlleren, når målepulsenkoderen passerer forbi i forskellige afstande. Hvis en sådan spole er defekt, næsten ikke-ledende med en høj modstand eller med en intern kortslutning med en meget lav modstand, eller hvis den også har en forbindelse til korrosionen, så genererer dette en sensorfejl i ABS-controlleren. Problemet med reparationen er, at trådtykkelsen og antallet af vindinger på målespolen skal være kendt. Hvis sensoren er knækket, kan ledningens tykkelse måles. Hvis det er muligt at vikle ledningen helt ud, kan dens længde nemt måles. Hvis det ikke er muligt, findes der en tabel over emaljeret tråd eller en beregner til emaljeret kobbertråd, hvor modstanden pr. kilometer er angivet for trådtykkelsen eller kan beregnes. Længden for en modstand på 10 Ohm ved 20° Celsius kan så beregnes der. Sensorens plasthus kan være lavet af epoxyharpiks. Et intakt hus eller samlede fragmenter kan bruges til en støbeform lavet af silikone eller, hvis det er et enkelt stykke, af voks. Hvis sensoren er brændt, kan magneten også være defekt. Så er det eneste, der hjælper, at vælge den rigtige magnet fra en anden sensor. Men vær forsigtig. Bemmsen er meget vigtige. BRD SJVD-støttet journalist Michael Frithjof Mueller Thank you Seaside Garage. ABS sensors, which have a measurable ohmic resistance, usually consist of a permanent magnet and an induction coil which transmits the change in field strength to the ABS controller when the measuring pulse emitter, which is at different distances, passes by. If such a coil is defective, almost non-conductive with a high resistance, or with an internal short circuit with a very low resistance, or if it also has a connection to the corrosion, then this generates a sensor error in the ABS controller. The problem with the repair is that the wire gauge and the number of turns of the measuring coil must be known. If the sensor is broken, the thickness of the wire can be measured. If it is possible to unwind the wire completely, its length can easily be measured. If this is not possible, there is an enamelled wire table or a copper enamelled wire calculator where the resistance per kilometre is listed for the wire thickness, or can be calculated. The length for 10 Ohm resistance at 20° Celsius can then be calculated there. The plastic housing of the sensor can be made of epoxy resin. An intact housing or assembled fragments can be used for a casting mould made of silicone or, if it is a single piece, of wax. If the sensor is burnt, the magnet may also be defective. Then the only thing that helps is to select the correct magnet from another sensor. But be careful. Bemmsen are very vital.

ABS Sensoren, die einen messbaren ohmschen Widerstand haben, bestehen meist aus einem Permanetmagneten und einer Induktions-Spule welche die Feldstärkenänderung bei dem vorbeilaufen des unterschiedlich weit entferneten Messimpulsgebereisens, an den ABS Kontroller sendet. Ist eine solche Spule defekt, hochohmig fast nichtleitend, oder mit Kurzschluß intern seher niederohmig oder hat sie auch noch eine Verbindung zur Karrosierie, dann erzeugt dies einen Sensor-Fehler im ABS Kontroller. Das Problem bei der Reparatur ist, die Drahtstärke und die Windungszahl der Messspule muß bekannt sein. Ist der Sensor zerbrochen kann der Draht in der Dicke gemessen werden. Ist es möglich den Draht ganz abzuwickeln, kann seine Länge leicht gemessen werden. Geht das nicht, gibt es eine Lackdrahttabelle oder einen Kupfer-Lackdraht-Rechner wo der Widerstand je Kilometer bei der Drahtstärke gelistet ist, oder erechnet werden kann. Dort kann dann die Länge für 10 Ohm Widerstand bei 20° Celsius errechnet werden. Das Kunstoffgehäuse des Senors kann aus Epoxidharz hergestellt werden. Ein intaktes Gehäuse oder zusammen gesetzte Bruchstücke können für eine Gießform aus Silikon oder wenn es ein Einzelstück ist auch aus Wachs dienen. Wenn der Sensor Verbrand ist, kann auch der Magnet defekt sein. Dann hilft nur den richtigen Magneten nach einem anderen Sensor auszuwählen. Aber Vorsicht. Bemmsen sind sehr Lebenswichtig. BRD SJVD Subvent-Journalist vom Dienst Michael Frithjof Mueller Merci Seaside Garage. Les capteurs ABS qui ont une résistance ohmique mesurable sont généralement composés d'un aimant permanent et d'une bobine d'induction qui envoie au contrôleur ABS la variation d'intensité du champ lors du passage du faisceau d'impulsions de mesure à différentes distances. Si une telle bobine est défectueuse, si elle a une valeur ohmique élevée, si elle est presque non conductrice ou si elle a un court-circuit interne avec une valeur ohmique très faible ou si elle est reliée à la carroserie, cela génère une erreur de capteur dans le contrôleur ABS. Le problème lors de la réparation est que l'épaisseur du fil et le nombre de spires de la bobine de mesure doivent être connus. Si le capteur est cassé, l'épaisseur du fil peut être mesurée. S'il est possible de dérouler complètement le fil, sa longueur peut être facilement mesurée. Si ce n'est pas possible, il existe un tableau des fils émaillés ou un calculateur de fils émaillés en cuivre où la résistance par kilomètre est listée pour l'épaisseur du fil ou peut être calculée. On peut alors calculer la longueur pour une résistance de 10 ohms à 20° Celsius. Le boîtier en plastique du capteur peut être fabriqué en résine époxy. Un boîtier intact ou des fragments assemblés peuvent être utilisés pour un moule en silicone ou, s'il s'agit d'une pièce unique, en cire. Si le capteur est brûlé, l'aimant peut également être défectueux. Dans ce cas, la seule solution est de choisir le bon aimant en fonction d'un autre capteur. Mais attention. Les aimants sont très importants pour la vie. BRD SJVD Journaliste de service subventionné Michael Frithjof Mueller

I enjoy these videos. An I've become a Patron. As I've watched so much of your content.

Peugeot and Citroen (at that time) used different number of teeth on the ABS ring (why???) so no Peugeot sensor will work. They also glued the sensor into the suspension arm, so they are practically impossible to remove without destruction, so you will not find a good used sensor unless you buy a complete suspension arm with sensor fitted. I did buy a NOS sensor on ebay for £50 about 5 years ago, but later sold (without profit) it to another XM owner who needed one.

Could try autodoc see if they have one.

Happy XMas Indeed.

Don’t you just love fault finding 😂 and on older cars it’s the best 😉👌🏻.

Wow the price!

Hi! Have the Bosch part# for the sensor? (If its Bosch).

Hi ! I think the rear ABS sensors are the same on the first generation of Citroën Xantia or on cousins ​​close to the XM, like the Peugeot 605!

I would be surprised if its a one car only part, its too expensive for manufacturers to do that. Who makes the sensor? Cross reference with them might be lucky to find a cheaper one used on other cars.

Is it required that your ABS works? Here in the states it's not a requirement so that even if the system throws a code it's not a deal breaker when it comes to inspection

Jeg prøvede at google mig lidt frem af ren nysgerrighed og bag sensorne er åbenbart unikke til XM´n? Jeg kan dog godt finde noget til de omkring ~200€ hvilket stadig er sygt mange penge for hvad det er, men med det sagt vis du kan finde en der ligner og bruger det samme plug fra en anden bil vil det nok også virke.

part number on the rear sensor?

This is excellent. I am trying to help with information. But my comments get deleted. Nice.

I,m rebuilding a ZPJ4 that I have in my Renault Alpine...I,m looking for a set of valve springs...anyone have the origonal part number or know of a replacement set than can be used in their place.

Ja fransk er en smule op af bakke til tider 🤣..

lmfao the price is ass reaming

Unfortunately, I'm too drunk to take it seriously.

Not at that price!!! Give it back to the owner and concentrate on your projects.
