Common Problem

Hydropneumatic Suspension Issues
The Citroën Xantia is renowned for its hydropneumatic suspension system, which provides a smooth ride but can be challenging to maintain. The system requires specific knowledge and parts that are becoming increasingly scarce. Owners have noted that driving in the lowest or highest suspension settings is not recommended as it can lead to damage due to incorrect road clearance and pressure. Regular maintenance of the suspension system is crucial to prevent issues.
Engine and Stalling Problems
Stalling is another common issue reported by Xantia owners. It often occurs at low RPMs and when the engine is warm. Some users have suggested checking components like the throttle body, idle bypass valve, spark plugs, and fuel filter as potential culprits. Oil in the spark plug well was found to improve engine performance once cleaned.
Underpowered Engines and Small Nuisances
The Xantia's engine, particularly the 1.8L version, has been described as underpowered for the car. Additionally, owners have reported various small issues and nuisances that can accumulate over time, making maintenance more challenging. These problems may vary depending on the car's history and usage.
Parts Availability and Maintenance
As the Xantia ages, finding spare parts and knowledgeable mechanics becomes more difficult. This scarcity can make maintaining the car more expensive and time-consuming. Owners recommend seeking out specialized repair shops or mechanics familiar with Citroën vehicles for better service.
General Advice for Potential Buyers
For those considering purchasing a Citroën Xantia, it's essential to understand the unique characteristics and maintenance requirements of the vehicle. While it offers a comfortable ride and distinctive design, prospective buyers should be prepared for potential challenges in upkeep and repairs.
