Citroen XM 3.0 24V- What is this green stuff?!

I ignore the electronic issues on the engine for a bit to focus on some leaks in the LHM system... and the the electronic stuff sucks me back in!

Hamsters are born to escape, and Citroens are born to leak. UK watchers have you noticed that Seppo uses English expressions when frustrated? "This bloody engine is a load of crap!" He is precious in our lives!!!! Kitch has a unique sense of humour.........always worth a watch.

You could have a new series, "Citroën leak of the day". 😂 Congratulations on the live stream with Kitch. Excellent stuff. I would also like to say that the presenter is the most important element of why I choose to watch any video. You are so easy to watch, just like we are having a chat in your workshop. Add that to the unusual stuff you show us makes the perfect channel. Many thanks for all the videos you share with us.

Only citroen owners understand the joke : sometimes ignoring a fault fixes it😂

@adalwolf8328 7 месяцев назад

This was exactly my old Renault Megane. Sometimes it would give an ABS system fault light, but the brakes worked just fine. I eventually learned to just ingore it and usually it was gone the next day.

glad to hear that the video was helpful. I also once had a similar problem. the charger only started charging when I revved up. the problem was a broken wire at the end of the charger. Btw that front end is really easy to remove. I can do quick writeup about that when I have time.

UpnDown has a great Rant video about modern rubber hoses. An well done on the live stream with Rich.

@Mr80sliveon 9 месяцев назад

The fluid doesn't return through that return line on the back of the strut.. .. that hose is for internal leak return when seals inside the strut wear and fluid passes.. when the car sinks fluid returns back via the main feed lines..

Love the journey but also can't wait for the day Niller presents it in showroom condition (if only).

You are doing excellent. I like your cars, especially the W123 Merc and the Cx and this Xm. Ian you and Richard are my favourite youtubers

Was great seeing you on the Livestream yesterday Seppo, and considering you did it not in your native language you completely nailed it! Just helped my friend fix an intermittent speedo issue on a 3.0 XM yesterday here in Sydney, so the dash part was ironically releveant. Such striking cars XM's! Currently working on a 1985 BX TRS we got off the original owner since new and reviving it so it can live again. Have replaced all the return lines, done the timing belt, water pump and new spheres and new power steering seals/boots. Hopefully got rid of all the LHM leaks. Cheers Steve

Thank you! Much fun to be in the charity show with Kitch!

@chrisperyagh 9 месяцев назад

I had the same leak on my V6 Si and it was the easiest one to fix. I just cut around 20mm off the end of rubber hose and pushed it back on and that leak never happened again. Good job the rubber return hose was still in good form as that car was less than 10 years old. It had numerous other leaks both before and after that - mostly the metal hydraulic lines and even some high pressure lines.

did my first xm generator for about 25 years ago, ohhh, 10 minutes the generator was out ,change the carbon and in with it , you take the generator out from the right wheel arch.

@jonnyb4336 9 месяцев назад

Was intrigued by the alternator and battery indicator light issue. As you noted, on some cars including the Saab classic 900, the indicator light in the dash is integral to the charging circuit. On the C900, the indicator light (lamp) is ‘special’ of a higher amperage than the other dashboard lamps - swapping a bulb over won’t work. If you’re sure the battery indicator lamp isn’t burnt out, then mute point but thought I’d throw this out there just in case.

@anderskarlsson908 9 месяцев назад

Once in my youth I was driving home at night and the headlights got weak. Then the radio started to behave strange. It turned out the alternator was not charging. This came without warning just like in your case. The day after I found out the b+ cable was loose, actually the study where it was attached had broke. This failure mode does not trig the charge warning light as it is on "the other side" of the alternator. By the way, it was an Opel Rekord 2100D, 2-door sedan.

Having just watched a set of three videos here where a guy tries, not entirely successfully, to just diagnose an intermittent (and horribly complicated) electronic/programming fault on a 2018 Land Rover Discovery, much of this here today is delightfully analogue, reminding me of the world where anyone mechanically inclined, and armed with basic tools and a Haynes manual could fix anything in a normal car.

@Mr80sliveon 9 месяцев назад

Re Altinator.. get her up on the ramp, and just check from underneath if the thin exciter cable isn't broken off the back of the altinator. You can easily see the altinator and connections from under the front.. that would be my next check..

@SeasideGarage 9 месяцев назад

Its there and intakt... :( But you can not see the connections easily! trust me..

@Mr80sliveon 9 месяцев назад

I do, and I've had 2 v6, I have another one now as a project and will have another v6 24v project next year..

@chrisperyagh 9 месяцев назад

It was funny having the Haynes manual for an XM as after I got rid of the XMs and got a Volvo 940 estate, the Haynes manual for that car was like a pamphlet by comparison.

@dylan3657 9 месяцев назад

sorry if i sating the obvious, i would have a good look at the engine earths to body where they connect as well as the wires for breaking (hanging on by a tread) may be cause of intermitten running bad and not charging

@LesterLovesWatches 9 месяцев назад

Tbh it wouldn’t have surprised me on a French car if a blown bulb stopped the alternator charging 😂

@Ivorbiggin 9 месяцев назад

@markwhelan6511 9 месяцев назад

???? A blown dashboard bulb on the charging circuit would have stopped any car charging pre 1990 ...the bulb makes up the circuit ..

@BMPellogia 9 месяцев назад

Thats how the circuit actually works! if the bulb on the dash burns the charging circuit is interrupted. My fiat had the same issue

@daw7563 9 месяцев назад

The restart while warm issue: I would put my money on leaky injectors or coldstart injector. I had the same issue on a Volvo. I could only start it while warm if I opened the throttle fully. The problem went away with new injectors.

Sounds like she needs an accumilator sphere when she was pumping up there was a lot of regulator clicking..

And epic the livestream was😊 especially the hour with Seppo, thanks for that! Maybe the thing Kitch said on the earth-block will fix the problem with the alternator. Looking forward to the next one! And the gearbox video of the Merc!

@saramalou9649 9 месяцев назад

Undercoat ur car with Owatrol Oil. It's the best stuff out there and it hardens after penetrating rust and the steel. I paintgun spray it under all my Veteran cars and on old steel rims, they then get a glossy look and you can paint over it if u want too. If the rust look dry after using it, you need to do it again til u get the shiny look, then its all soaked. End of the story: it will NEVER EVER rust again from the side you use OWATROL! 😀 (It takes some days to harden)

I had this on my BMW e38. It was leaking so i cut the line like: "it is leaking and probably no pressure is inside" ... HAHA... and this bombastic green stuff suspension line exploded to my face :D .. Yummy, that was tasty... Now i don´t like it :D

@heingysen9875 7 месяцев назад

C'mon man. Check the exc wire on the alternator for voltage, ground it and see if the battery light comes ON ! If yes , the circuit is ok. THE voltage regulator is NOT ground ing the battery light ! Rebuild the alternator !
