ZF 4HP18 weird noise when shifting 2-3. Help needed!
zhlédnutí 672Před 4 měsíci
My ZF 4HP18 makes a weird squeal when shifting 2-3. The noise gets louder when I accelerate harder and increases the faster I accelerate. I have changed the oil four times, replaced the governor seals and cleaned the filter with each oil change. The oil has always looked fine and there hasn't been a lot of clutch material on the magnet.

Making new front-end relay sockets for Citroen XM

This is straightforward job to do. Symptoms for failing relays are non-running cooling fans at some or all speeds, failing headlights and in the worst case these cause your starter motor engaging (in the models with automatic daylights).

Citroen XM ZPJ V6 fuel line replacement and warning about 80's and 90's PSA fuel hoses
zhlédnutí 736Před 11 měsíci
As far as I know pretty much every Citroen and Peugeot from that era have somewhat a reputation of being prone to fire. I’m not saying that this is just PSA thing but for example SAABs and Volvos from that era had better quality fuel lines and they weren’t near exhaust manifolds. Stuff that you need: - Roughly 60cm fuel hose for each line (10mm hose length depends where u want it) - 1pcs 10mm t...

How to replace Citroen XM rear suspension cylinder
zhlédnutí 3KPřed rokem

How to make ABS sensor for Citroen XM (89-95)
zhlédnutí 728Před rokem
In this video, I’m making ABS sensor for my 1990 Citroen XM. I made the sensor from VW Golf mk3 front sensor. Early XMs until RP5809 are fitted with sensors that have ohm value from 1000 to 1400ohm and the Golf sensor is 1100ohm so it’s good match for those. Later Bendix system from RP5810 to RP6741? has sensors with value between 2200-3200ohm. I can’t test if those later systems will accept Go...

How to dismantle Diravi from Citroen XM for seal replacement
I just bought a XM V6 from 1991 that has been sitting since 2006. Now I came across your channel - thank you for documenring everything! It is really helpful
Thank you! I hope your XM serves you well. I bought mine in '21 and it had been off the road since '09. I gave it a full service and did mainly some rust repairs.
Great job my friend 😍👍
Thank you! 🙏
Wow... 400,000+km on a PRV XM 👍, giving us encouragement to keep driving them haha. Have you ever rebuild the water pump?
The PRV is a laughing stock on the internet, but I think these later PRVs are underrated engines. Unfortunately I haven't, and that's a subject I'd like to delve into. Some say they can't be rebuilt and others say they can. I would really like to get my hands on one to see for myself before mine starts leaking.
Where did it leak? My ZPJ4 will probably need a change of the notorious O-rings on the block behind the flywheel.
It was leaking from the rear cam seal, timing cover, oil temperature sensor, right main seal, but the worst was the rear main seal. Occasionally it would leak on to the exhaust pipe and make a mildly embarrassing amount of smoke. With the ZPJ4 it should be easier, as you can just remove the gearbox without removing the engine? I've heard that even on the 4hp18 it's possible to change the main oil seal without pulling the engine.
thanks
I thought the relay holders where broken from factory... :P
I would not be surprised at all :D
This is a great video when you finnished will be like new Thank you Its a great car Underrated and misunderstood i live them
I really hope so! I couldn't agree with you more, but I've noticed some growing appreciation.
Frosty summer conditions. What engine you are going to put in it? Thanks for the the advise!
This video was shot just before May :D The same engine is going back in, in fact it's already in and no longer leaks. Thanks for watching!
@@dailyingxm I thought u replace it with V8😁 Thanks to your brother too!
An engine hoist is tool for testing the maximum tensile strength of everything you forgot to disconnect...
That's true:D And there's quite a lot of return lines on the way, the transmission caught on the ABS return line and broke it.
Thanks for sharing! When I take out the filter unit of the LHM tank, I stick it in a garbage bag. That is flexible and leak proof. Plus I do not have such a fancy milk can like you have... 😉
Thanks for watching! I used to do the same, but on a few occasions I made a mess by accidentally spilling the bag. That milk can is excellent!
Nice video. What keeps you keeping your V6 XM? How many years and kilometers have you had it? Any bigger issues?
Drive an XM for some time, and you will know! 😀
@@redrose_666 I have exactly the same one, except I have a manual transmission and different design rims. I just returned from a 4 day trip with it.
Thank you! IMHO XM is still an unbelievable car to drive. Hydractive combined with the DIRAVI is such a joy to drive. It has also become a sort of personal challenge to get this car as far as I can, as I have heard that Citroens and French cars ingeneral are weak and won't do high milage. This is now my third year of ownership and I have now done 30k km with it. Depends on what counts. Keep in mind that this car sat for over ten years before I bought it and I paid 300€ for this fine machine :D Leaking DIRAVI was quite annoying to fix and this transmission issue that I'm having. Bit of a spoiler, but the Lubeguard additive helped with the noise, but I have a sneaking suspicion that the transmission is eating itself alive. Still it has never let me stranded.
@@dailyingxm It´s all just about when you will finally give up. :) But you can always get another hydropneumatic Citroen in better overall shape afterwards :) I believe 90s and earlier 2000ish PSA especially diesel cars are pretty overall tough and still simple-ish enough. What kills it in time is corrosion (as like on any other car), big lack of maintenance (as like on any other car) and if it has too fancy electronics. I am mostly impressed how smart the whole hydropneumatic system works and what it all does once you learn a bit more about it´s functions, also how well made and decently reliable my old-ass V6 XM is, considering all the very unique and weird technical solutions on it, not simple electronics without easy ways how to diagnose it and it beeing overall 32 years old. It has much less kms then yours, but I also payed much much more for the car (and I shouldn´t have). All I am fighting with is neglection by the years, corrosion and of course some rubber hoses, bushes, seals, bearings etc., but nothing too major as a engineers faults, bad solutions or low quality. I don´t use it daily or in the wet or winter, it´s a garage queen tho. Me personally I would love to have more modern Citroen "XM" in a VAN or MPV version (with the same hydropneumatic solutions for suspension, Diravi etc.), as I need it for my work and as it is the most practical type of car one can have. Unfortunatelly, theres nothing like that. What gets the closest to it maybe are Sevel Nord Vans and MPVs, but very remotely and with no such hydropneumatics and design solutions, so not good enough...
Мне тоже надо!
Hi, i have a xm from 94 with the v6 and the same transmission. Have a look at the bearing from the right transmission shaft, the bearing was bad. Not just look at it, take the !!!COMPLETE! shaft out und turn it, if there ist any rumbling in it, take a new bearing. If you take out the tripod from the driveshaft, attention, the tripod bearings are !NOT LOCKED! on the tripod star and falls down and the bearing pins fell down, believe its very difficult to get the bearings of the tripod all together Best wishes from Germany
Do you mean diff bearings? Can you send me a detailed email with a picture of which bearing you mean?
Hi, not the diff bearings, the diff bearings are very strong at this Transmission. A picture is possible but not before saturday.... But follow the right drive shaft, start at the transmission an go fromm the diff to the wheel side, after 25-30cm comes the bearing in its Aluminium mounting, direct before the tripod housing
@@MastersOfChainsaw Ah, you mean the drive shaft support bearing? I have to check that, altought I did replace it few years ago
Nicely Done!
Do I own an XM? NO Did I watched the whole proccess? YES It must to be something about french cars ..
Thank you, I really appreciate that.
Thanks for sharing mate!
... it is easy to remove the mask, headlights, bumper, and then the front part with the fans, it is difficult to remove such a complete front part.
I think that if you need to remove the front end, this is the best way to do it. only downside is that its a bit heavy if you are alone.
Thanks again, really helpful video, even just to learn where is what in the XM. The mechanics working with these cars don’t get more, so it’s good to know some stuff by yourself. 👍
This is exactly why I created this channel, so that owners of old hydraulic Citroëns can try to do repairs them themselves. Garages that understand hydraulics or older models are becoming increasingly rare.
Always a pleasure.
Thank you so much for this amazingly helpful video. It gives me creeping horrors, this is about the exact location where my green Y3 V6 (see my videos) recently lost quite a good amount of LHM, thus now sitting in the garage for over a year 😢. I fear I might to have to address this issue… My only small luck is we don’t have these forced weather conditions here in Germany… my biggest respect for your brave work! 👍
Thank you, this still has to be one of my least favourite jobs on an XM! I would remove the LHM tank first and carefully clean the whole area and see where the leak is coming from as those returns are getting old and leeky. That said I promise you that making and replacing return lines is not that fun. If I can pull this off in conditions like these I believe that you can do it too
Man.., great video. Thanks!
Check the ICE system. Thriller and Bad were particularly prone to those noises.
that seems like its the brake band squealing, had the same thing on my 4hp18, i had to change the oil about 9 times in a row to get all of it looking new which helped, but didn't completely fix it, i then adjusted the brake band on and that completely fixed it for at least the 2 1/2 years that i owned that car afterwards, it's a fairly easy job to do, but i'm not 100% sure if you can do it on all 4HP18 Transmissions, i took a guide from a german citroen forum to adjust it, if that doesn't work, the brake band is to worn to be readjusted again and will need to be replaced: To adjust the brake band (valid for 4hp14 and 4hp18): Required tools: -Allen Socket (unfortunately I don't remember the size) -ring wrench set -Torque wrench for 10 Nm Seen from below, there is a noticeable Allen screw on the rear part of the gearbox, which is secured with a hexagon nut. Carefully loosen this hexagon nut using a box wrench (it is very tight because it is held in place by a corrugated washer). Screw the Allen screw all the way in and tighten it with 10 Nm. Now loosen the Allen screw again by exactly 2 turns. Then tighten the hexagon nut again without turning the Allen screw.
Huge thanks, I'll look in to it!
@@dailyingxm I had the same sound when I changed the Dexron III (syntetic) oils by mistake. This model involves using Dexron II (mineral) oil, as you have done, because it has a frictional property. Now I have had to use a friction additive: Lubegard automatic gearbox instant shudder fix. This mutes the sound. If the sound comes back after the oil change, it must be added again. The same ZF gearbox is used at Saab models, and their maintenance program also recommends this additive, if facing similar problems. Even several changes back to Dedron II, did not helping the situation anymore in my case.
Sadly, the brake band adjustment didn't make any difference.
@@henryv.582 I might need to test that
@@dailyingxm It helped in my case. I changed the wrong oil before the vacation trip (!), and that's when the noise came. I went to ask for advice on automatic transmission maintenance, and that additive was offered at there. The noise disappeared, and the crossing of the Alps and back went without squeals. Thank you for your channel, and best greetings from Espoo, Finland.
Need to to change my clock screen. Similar procedure?
I haven't changed them. From what I have read, it seems to be a fairly straightforward job.
@@dailyingxm thanks for the answer. Keep up the good videos!!
Where have you bought the gaskets please ?
The kit is from CX Basis and link can be found from my firts video. That that replacement seal in the video is made by finnish company that specializes on hydraulics
Thanks again for sharing, mate! 👍
Thank you for the video’s, I also have an Xm v6 with diravi and I need to overhaul it. It’s already leaking .I am considering lowering the subframe and take it out completely 😅
Thank you! It's quite a big job, but if you're not in a hurry, well worth it. If you didn't already know, there's a link in the description of my first video to the Diravi removal section of the workshop manual.
I found the link, that’s very helpful,thanks again.
Thanks for your effort and information! I have a twin of your green Y3 V6 at home, sitting for over a year with some hydraulic leak at the front. I still hope it’s not the DIRAVI… 😱
Thank you! Let's hope that it's something more simple than the Diravi. I really like the wooden steering wheel of your SM!
@@dailyingxm Thank you also. Let’s keep the old Citroen‘s alive. They all are really unique and incomparable cars to drive! The wooden SM steering wheel really is a unique and beautiful masterpiece. I love it, it gives the SM a bit a touch of the italian sportscars of its time
This was an informative video. Thanks and good luck with the refurbished alternator.
Thank you, I hope that it's good for another 400k!
Thanks for the video!! Nice explanation!
458k km? Impressive.
close, it's at 418k km at the moment
Great car! Would love to own an XM V6 and park it right next to my Cx! Warm regards from France :)
Merci! I'm almost jealous because you have a CX, my absolute dream car would be a red CX GTI turbo 2. But the V6 XM is to me a poor man's SM and CX combined
@@dailyingxm The SM is a dream car of mine too, but can't afford it either. I'm happy with my CX :) I really like your country! Take care of you and of the XM Warm regards
@@billybill6604 Same to you, I hope that your CX serves you well! I adore your country and culture too.
You are a máster.🔝💯🔝💯
Thank you, your ID 19 is really gorgeous!
You have so cool videos. I'm also very passionate about Citroën Xm. I own the one from 1999 V6 24V ES9 in green color. Keep filming 🎥 and good luck with your beautiful Xm. 👍👌
Thank you so much! Btw your XM has the best interior color imo.
Hi can I ask, do you know where to get the seal kit that is now cx-basis?
Link is in the description. As far as I know they are only one selling them. I have messures of them also somewhere if you want them.
@@dailyingxm ok I will order from them thanks!
Should never let your car idle, you're doing more damages to the internals than you think.
Should I floor it then? Joking aside It can't be driven before hydraulics have built the pressure. You do more harm to your Citroen if you start driving immediately.
Sitkee vääntö.mulla oli xantia ja siinä ei onneks ollut hydrauliikan kanssa ongelmia.
joo, tuo jarruventtiili taitaa olla ikävin vaihdettava heti Diravin jälkeen XM:ssä. Harvemmin näissä yleensä mitään suuria on, mutta tämä yksilö on kyllä tasaisin väliajoin jaksanu yllättää aina uudella vuodolla jostain. Johtuuko se sitten yli kymmenen vuoden seisonnasta, huonosta huollosta vai peräti huoltajasta niin mene ja tiedä 😅
This breeze for petrol is nothing. 👍
That's true, I think that at least all "modern" fuel injected petrols should start below -30 with no issues.
I don't know why, but I really like watching cold starts, very cold
haha, same here!
Yeah XM was really not a good winter car... My dad had one when I was little in sweden. Even when we kept it in the garage if we were in a rush it was not making dad happy making it wait to lift up... I sold my xantia activa v6 to a guy in finland by the way, hope it's going well there to someone :D
I, on the other hand, think that XMs among other hydraulic Citroens, are one of the winter cars that you can get. There is nothing like a hydropneumatic suspension when it comes to snowy roads. And in my case the Diravi makes it unbelievably joyful to drive in bad conditions. It shouldn't take insufferably long to rise if driven on a daily basis. That reminds me of a DS enthusiast priest who used to say that "when the hydraulics are building the pressure there is a good time to make prayer that the journey will be safe" and even though I'm not religious myself, I think the valuable lesson there is that be calm and don't be in a hurry. I bet that your old Activa is owned by someone at the Citroen club!
Cool car man! I really like old Citroëns! ❤
Beautiful car.
Very well spoken and filmed videos. Great to watch. Maybe this is a bit the same feeling like have seen Kylli-täti in TV as a kid making art and telling a story same time. :D I don't even have any Citroen but Peugeot and Renault myself.
Thanks, you really made me laugh! They have both made great cars, especially in the 80s and 90s. I find it a bit funny that someone wants to watch my "fiddling" without owning a Citroen or a gun on their head :D
@@dailyingxm Yeah, I have a -92 model 309 so it's interesting to see videos of the same era Citroen.
Those got to be great little cars to drive. I just realised that when I was a kid there were 309s everywhere and now I can't recall when is the last time that I've seen one.@@jannetoivanen3298
Right before the moose, I was thinking this looks like a time and a place where to see one.
yeah, that moose really jump scared me.
I love the snow mohawk.
Now that you said it, it does look like one :D
A very good car
Elle démarre plutôt bien,je suis assez surpris, ça peine un peu au début, mais ça va quand même bien, Que mettez vous comme huile moteur par ces basses températures ?? De la 5w40 ? 5w30 ? Ou 0w30? Car avec _31° Il faut de l'huile assez fine pour qu elle puisse être pompée par la pompe a huile En Tous cas,ce que je sais,c est qu il ne faut pas d huile trop visqueuse comme la 15w40 ou 10w40,car elle se figera ,la pompe a huile ne pourra pas la pomper et ne lubrifiera jamais le moteur au démarrage et ça empêche même de démarrer le moteur Si vous Mettez de l'huile fine pour l hiver comme la 5w40, 5w30 ,ou même 0w30 si il fait très froid, votre voiture démarrera encore mieux et surtout le moteur sera mieux protégé au début 🙂👍 Moi j ai une Fiat Doblo 1,3 l multijet de 2007, elle a 300 000 kms et elle fonctionne nickel aussi, malgré que ce soit du Fiat, et que les gens parfois sous estime,ça a l air d'être robuste aussi, j en prend très soin aussi, surtout au niveau du moteur,je vidange tous les 5000 kms , change le filtre a huile en même temps,et je mets la meilleure huile 5w40 que je puisse trouver ( liqui Moly ou Total Quartz)et ça tient bien, ça a l.air d aller et elle est partie pour continuer au déjà de 300 000 kms
I was quite surprised at how well it started and how well the battery handled the cold. I like to use Total Quartz 5w-40 and I change oil and filter every 10k km. It might not be the best at -30c, but we rarely have this extreme cold, usually it gets only around -25c. Most of the time I'm also using engine block heater. I agree, at least Fiats utility vehicles are tough vehicles. My brother owns a Peugeot Boxer with 2.8 Iveco diesel and it has been really reliable and starts like nothing at -25c with only glow plugs.I hope that your car serves you well!
@@dailyingxm Merci de m.avoir écrit , c'est vrai que la 5w40 suffit a _20°, elle ne figera pas,🙂👍👍, les voitures comme la vôtre sont robustes aussi,j ai vu dans la vidéo que la vôtre a plus de 400 000 kms 🙂, bravo qu elle soit arrivé jusque là💪👍👍🙂, Bonne continuation 🙂🙋👍👍
Shame there's no thermometer in your XM since at least the temperature in my C5 used to stop counting at -29 simply because they probably thought nobody would be stupid enough to even drive in temperatures under that.
XMs actually have one, but mine has been broken ever since I bought the car. Sometimes it showed -42 at middle of the summer :D
Lovely car!
Bonjour de France. Superbe Citroën, la version 5 portes de la SM.
Bonjour! That is exactly why I bought one. I figured that since SMs are out of my price range XM is the closest I can get. XMs design is clearly inspired from the SM and they both are fitted with the V6 and the DIRAVI.
@@dailyingxm La XM a en effet les lignes du chef d’œuvre de Robert Opron. Bien qu’elle partage son châssis avec la Peugeot 605, je la considère comme une vraie Citroën. Le système DIRAVI, la suspension hydropneumatique et le V6 PRV lui confèrent toute son originalité et prestige. Elle est extraordinaire à conduire. Bien à vous
