Best you replace both the flow divider and regulator together, something has gone wrong there, overpressuring. Anyone has done a Xantia conversion job here, thinking of doing that or fitting in a non-power steering from a 16RS. Any suggestions.if anyone done a xan type conversion pls do post some pi...

H474, well one has to play safe than be a fool. My 16V which is a '89 model has only 33,000 miles on the clock upto now and at 25,000 mls the belt snapped but at the previous owners hands, he spent a pretty sum repairing it. So it is age that plays a part too. BTW i had the water pump changed recent...

djoptix, I use xantia disc on my BX19GTi from the 8V 2.0 and they work fine ,it's a direct fit just use the disc and calipers ,thats all. In fact they 'over-brake' it's too powerful can practically stop on a dime. Plus can still use 14in rims ,they barely clear the caliper by 2-3mm. So fitting the b...

soupapes, according to another thread you just
changed a pump from a 16TRS in Nov, did it give way again?

Ya here even water temp always hovering 90-95
Oil temp if driven hard or uphill can reach 110-120.

The radiator on the a/c version is pretty small
much smaller than on the 8V.

I don't think it is necessary to change the sump/ If you notice under the 16V sump there are cooling fins Air flow underneath will sort of cool the engine oil in the sump. So don't change it. If you really want the trap door just cut it out from the 2.0 sump and weld it back on the 16V sump, then yo...

The pump from the 8V turns in a clockwise direction and even the 16V one is the same. It is fitted in the same west-east location so it can't be any different. But it can also turn in the opposite direction and still give pressure as it is a swashplate design,so whichever way you turn pressure will ...

Sorry another thing, are SuperChips still available
for 2 row ECU I wouldn mind getting one.
If anyone has one can post or send to my sis place in Luton
as she will be coming to my place in a mth or two.

I am in the midst of replicating the pipes out of lifelong nylon pipes and
metal t-joints. coz I know in the future BX parts are going to
be scarce. like my CX which are getting hard to get now.

mate ,I don't think the frt headrest will fit to the rear.

I think to get better bite just get a pair of xantia calipers, they have bigger surface area and bite just a bit better since 16V already using xantia ph1 disc 266mm xantia2 I think is 288mm which won't fit with 14in wheels. You can fit the estate xantia bigger brakes to the rear of the BX but you h...

It's not the same as the D as the high pressure pipe
comes out towards the front of the pump whereas
the 16V comes out at the side maybe the same as the XM3.0-12V.
but oil intake has a diff angle but can knock out cover
and reposition it.

I have a set but the chrome work are shot.
but I am thousands of miles away.

You try getting a GTi one and rebuilding it with
the gears from the 16 valver.or vice versa.

There always used to an ad in the Autocar mags
showing him in a beautiful 16valver forgot the color though.
Must dig up those old mags.
