Xantia II - rear wiper
BG: на български
EN: My rear wiper was just stuck. Any attempt for use lead to burn fuse. So here is what i decide to make:
Remove the mottor, and remove all rivets that keep the aluminum cover. That will be replaced by small screws. Just drill suitable holes for M3.5 or M4.0
Clean really well the mechanical part and check the bronze contacts. Add grease.
After that open the relay cover with screw drivers and check for broken soldier points same as marked on the image. Clear the contacts, what is possible by gently pull out the contact plate.
Here how you can save few bucks by not paying for new unit.Good luck!
Xantia II - rear window heater /задно стъкло отоплител
| EN | BG |
| When i bought the car,weather was warm and nice and i did not try if trunk window heating work. The problem appear that someone make cable repair and didn`t pull the cover gently and reap off together with the pin the heater plug. The only solution was to add new pin, but that was quite impossible because the resisting foil is so thin. So i decide to solder cable, and on it end to have that pin. The way i have don it was to spray solder acid to clean the copper surface, then until is wet, heat solder material and spread it little over. After that add one huge drop on the cable. After that drop is in almost liquid phase,and is few mm close to the surface i heat it with the solder iron and push it on. Immediately blow to cool all down because that resisting layer is so thin that second later you`ll have hole there. Job done! | Kогато купих колата не обърнах внимание на това че има проблем с нагревателя на задното стъкло. Проблема бе откъртен пин при сваляне на кора от някой спец. За целта почистих едно удобно място с химикал за запояване, и на кабел на който предварително бях поставил кабелна обувка,нанесох обилен слой калай. След това леко затоплик парченце тенол и го стопих върху мястото на стъклото.Много внимателно ислед докосване, веднага обдухване за да не пробие фолиото. Същото с кабела - затополих на разстояние около 5мм от стъклото кабела до състояние течна фаза на тенола по него , при което веднага допрях и обдухах да не прегори. Вече втора година имам задно отопление! |

Trip computer v.3.0 - and dynamic backlight - Xantia
Here I`ll try to explain what was/is my idea for “home made” trip computer.There is quite many similar ready devices on the market that you can find/buy but unfortunately most of them are developed for OBDII type of cars, what Xantia is not.
Also, you can find few topics over the internet,dedicated on transfer peugeot 406 oem trip computer into Xantia. In my case all began from scratch, based on arduino board.
With little knowledge about arduino board, I found quite interesting topics that people has used Nokia 5110 B&W LCD monitor as screen for some home made devices. And also there are plenty cheap and project-ready ones as module in ebay. And.. i decide to try.
