BG: на български език можете да прочетете тук: http://www.clubcitr … 193&start=1002
EN:
There are quite many topics in forums and etc, that give ideas or guides how to fix xantia blower problems. My case unfortunately wasn`t in any of that. Hope my story will be helpful to some of you.
First to clear one thing for the protocol - only if engine is working (alternator signal to the A/C ECU) you can have blower ON.

Xantia Mk2 Instrument Panel Backlight Bluetooth controlled
BG Описано на български: тук
EN Hi,
In that topic will try to describe one idea for my Xantia instrument cluster back-light, but it can be used/set to any other car or to be used for other project as well.
Parts been used : WS2812B LEDs , Arduino Nano, HC-06 serial(with board) and some small electronic elements.
But before start any proper description, let me say that all credits goes to: josh.com Without his clean and simple code that will be bad going project, or lets say with Adafruit library it come little overweight.

Xantia Mk II odometer
Hi there,
I have no idea if you`ve got to the point when your dash start loose the sane but here is some tip:
When you take the unit out and rip it apart in small corner of it you`ll find IC C46CM6. That is 1KB of memory, seems to be enough to keep the “books” of that odometer ecu. So, now getting your new dash you can de-solder the chip out from the original one, and solder it on the “new”.
And ta-daaa - here is your kilometers back. But there is something else.
In that memory are stored some parameters for the fuel tank,fuel tank arrow and some that clue has only the developer of the unit. In that case I will offer you other road. Again remove it from the board and put it on programmer:
Once you get the content you`ll see: [Read More…]

Xantia XU7JP4 - 1.8 timing belt
EN There are many manuals how to replace that timing belt, but here wish to show my first time on Xantia
Engine is LFY XU7JP4 model 1999-2000 with tension pulley, which is semi automatic with indicator arrow.
! In my case the accessory belt pulley`s bolt(what is mounted on the crank) was really hard to release. I`ve need torque gun for it. Suggest to you to use sam, not try with wrench.

Peugeot 406 / Xantia window buttons / бутони ел прозорец
| EN | BG |
| Do you have trouble sometimes with your Peugeot 406 electrical windows? Slow going up, or do not go at all? The reason is in the button contacts. Of course you can take the motor out, to clean and grease it. And also to take some care for the window rail to be smooth the movement. With small crew driver pull out the button. Then, carefully take out that gray cover and do not loose the pin. With small pliers take out the spring contact and with file or emery paper clean them. Then fit all in reverse order. Keep in mind that the passenger window power pass via driver`s side button. Take little time and clean all. Is much better. | Имали ли сте проблеми с ел. прозорците на Вашето Пежо 406? Бавно и мудно вдигане, или понякога дори да отказват. Причината се намира в патина/нагар по контактите на бутончетата. С малка/ки отверки се изваждат бутончетата и внимателно се отваря сивото капаченце.Просто внимавайте да не загубите малкото пластмасово "чепче" което реално натиска. С малки, подходящи клещички изваждате подвижната пластинка и с шткурка/пиличка зачиствате. След това се сглабя по обратен ред. Ако желаете все пак, можете и да подобрите работата на мотора и механизмът чрез почистване и смазване. Също така, имайте предвид че захранването за пасажерската предна врата минава през бутона на шофьорската врата. |

Saxo Central Locking Addons
EN Hi folks, friend of mine has Saxo with central locking but unfortunately it doesn`t have any “blinking” or indication of the lock-unlock state. So he ask me if we can do something about it, and if I can add some addition small fade in and out light in front. For the blinking I use direction lights, for the other option - low beam lamps and PWM.Represented here by that small bulbs, first in the video. (that is my solution, if you check on ebay there are quite many central locking units with lot functions. So there you can get 4 button ones, and to add lights on with timer on button)

Citroen Zx Gearbox replace
BG
Kолата - ZX 1.4i `95 - заради свършило масло вътре в скоростната кутия станал мармалад
Оригинална кутия: номер 0281 01 330070A
От морга куия: номер 0281 01 330070B
Това са референтните номера на ситроен сървизната страница. Разликата бе, че оригиналната се хващаще с един болт повече, а новата остана един отвор повече извън кожука на мотора.
И двата зетковеца, стария и новия, бяха по 1.4 но този който бе донор на кутия бе пълна инжекция от 1997. Диференциалите като брой зъби - 14х60 - еднакви, зъбните предавки на датчика за движение бяха 1:1 едни и същи

Xantia II - audio update/s
EN
When I bought my Xantia few years ago, first thing I`ve done was to replace the head unit(old Sony) what previous owner used with Pioneer DEH-1500 and also the OEM speakers with Pioneer combined ones:
The unit choice was because the fact it has wire remote control. In other words - 3.5mm jack and easy way to connect your steering wheel sound control to it.
Replacing resistors on the OEM buttons and small mod on the tracks will give you chance to control your player. Even with that setup the car audio will be just fine.
Well, that was until this year. I decide to give little “boost” to the audio.
