My 1987 Citroën CX Has Intermittent Hot Stall.
Nov 29th
Question
My car is an 1987 Citroën CX that has an intermittent stall when the engine is hot. It starts straight away from the ignition switch. It doesn’t happen all the time.
Citroen Tech Tip:
The most likely cause is a bad ignition pick up sensor on the flywheel. We recommend everyone carry a spare with them. Because this is a very frequent problem an owner should always carry a spare. More >

Checking the Bolts on the Citroën SM Gear Box
Sep 3rd
This is just a short reminder to all you Citroën SM lovers out there.
It is extremely important to get in the habit of checking and correcting, if necessary, the tightness of the bolts fastening the differential shaft extension housing to the Citroen SM gear box .
This should be checked after any repair involving removal of the motor, the gear box, the drive shafts or the front suspension units.
The tightening torque is 10.5 to 13.5 m.kg. (76 to 98 ft. lbs.)
Stay safe!

Do You Want to Remove a Rusty Citroen Fastener Without Breaking it Off?
Aug 22nd
This was a question that recently was sent in to me, and I covered it a bit in the article that I wrote about removing the Citroen D Model fuel tank, but I will go into greater depth here.
What I will be explaining here is the removal of a fastener from your vintage Citroen . Most of these fasteners will be 25 plus years old, and you are perhaps removing them for the first time since the Citroen was new.
Depending on the location and the vintage, and of course where a fastener has spent it’s life, can have a great deal to do with how difficult it might be to remove when you want to take it apart. More >

OK, so one last hydraulic article and I will move on to other topics, but I couldn’t let you get away with out telling you about a hydraulic flushing product made by Total called Hydraurincage . We seem to call it Hydroflush over here, but Hydraurincage is the correct name for it from the mother land.
This is a good product that I personally have had some very good results with. More >
