cold start after a weekend with temperatures below -10 celcius. this is my high milage citroen BX tzd turbo diesel, full options 464200 km and still going strong!
Yes. Only digs with the BX for me are that it only has hydropneumatic on the rear wheels. And of course it would be cooler if it was air-cooled, which the GS is, which also has all wheel suspension, but you can't get those in diesel.
@@bangerbangerbro where did you get that idea from? the BX has hydropneumatic suspension on all wheels. AFAICT, the only Citroen that had read-only were selected late-model Traction Avant, which came equipped with hydropneumatic in the rear only, ahead of the introduction of the DS/ID.
That brought back pleasant memories on my time with BX’s, first was a 1.9 TRD the second a 1.7 turbo intercooler sport. Beautiful drives and so comfortable, too. Both were ultra economical and had many trans Europe trips from southern Italy to London and back.
Das waren noch Zeiten... so einen BX hatten wir früher mal, Bj. ´88, elektrisches Schiebedach und elektrische Fensterheber vorne und hinten, 109 PS, Türanzeige für jede einzelne Tür, hydropneumatisches Fahrwerk und sogar, was damals ganz was besonderes war, eine Fernbedienung für die Türen.
On peut dire que ce furent les années d'or de Citroën, quand ils fabriquèrent des modèles uniques, originaux et pleins de charisme, puis Citroën commença à produire des voitures comme tant d'autres, perdit ce charme, cette beauté et l'originalité qui la caractérisaient. De nos jours j'apprécie juste la Citroën C6, je pense que c'est la seule qui a encore ce charme d'antan.
Aaaah i miss that sound.... This was my old car, and I still miss this car every day. It's fun to drive, economical and the turbo makes a great sound. The windscreen wiper is on the other side so at high speed rain will not blow across the drivers side of the windscreen as easy, so you have to use the wiper a lot less. The wiper is in view the whole time however, but you get used to it...
@paulcarbonaro Yes, the bx is provided of a pneumatic suspension, there are at the top of each wheel a sort of 'gas reservoir' so when you stop the car she will go down and when you start it, it will go up, you can actually regulate the height of the car with a handle in the cockpit. And it's a very comfortable suspension I have to say!
Citroen is the most comfortable cars ever made. With adjustable hydropneumatic suspension, none compares in comfort. And fuel economy and long engine life as well. It is worth no BX there.
it's not pneumatic, it's hydropneumatic. only those resevoirs are filled with gas, most of the system runs on hydraulics. thats why these cars have this phenomenal soft ride!
This was when Citroen created and produced cars with charm, elegance and originality. Those were the golden days of Citroen, then Peugeot killed Citroen, and now they produce cars just like everyone else, the magic is lost!
Boa noite eu gosto muito dos seus vídeos só existe um problema são muito curtos continue com o seu maravilhoso trabalho abraços. Good night, I like your videos very much, there is only one problem. They are very short. Continue with your wonderful work.
the only thing I could fault about a bx is its suspension. dont get me wrong the ride is very comfy it feels like your floating on air. its just that if the suspension goes wrong its costly to put right. i suppose if you maintain the suspension eg topping up on hydraulic fluid etc it should be reliable.
It can, but it's not very nice. When there is no pressure on the suspension there is zero dampening and bot the car and occupants get a bit of a beating. On models with powersteering you'll have none of that till the system has some pressure
Bellissima auto, quando le Citroën erano Citroën e con le sospensioni idropneumatiche facevano la differenza!!! Oggi purtroppo vediamo un copia e incolla Peugeot ! Che peccato !
one thing's for sure: it's got a GREAT engine! almost as good as on a 2CV (sorry, i'm a fan, can't help it!) ;) please tell me is their hydropneumatic suspension reliable? i may have an opportunity to buy one in it seems good condition (from first owner) and maintained, so i'm worried is it likely to just fail... is it complicated or expensive to maintain?
@BXTZDTurb I don't know why it's on the left side, haven't looked at it yet ( Bought this bx just a month ago) im currently working on my 1.6 TZI. Btw no airco and ABS on the diesel. Bosch injection (correct me if I'm wrong, this is my first diesel, model year 1993)
@BXTZDTurb Do you have an electric sunroof? The leather and fog lights are build in last year. Where are you from? I am from Holland. I Will upload à video of the engine running soon
love the odd french styling, love the comfy suspension, love everything about it except.. that loud, clunky, rattly diesel WHYYY would anyone choose that over petrol is beyond me.
Hey twan,i dont know if was you that some time ago gave me an internet page from FRance that sold a lot of Bx Parts, i dont remember the adress and i need it. If you still remember i thank you. Regards from Uruguay
464,200 km and then people say that French cars are not reliable? Your BX is gorgeous and well-kept.
French Cars, at least the older ones, are extremely reliable.
Всем известна надёжность французских дизелей,не наговаривайте
These things are unbreakable....
It's all a question of ❤ and proper maintenance. Congratulations.
I like the sound of diesel engines. This one is my favorite so far.
464,000 km? great engine, nice car.
My dad had one of these, loved it when the suspension rose up. Seriously cool car
Yes. Only digs with the BX for me are that it only has hydropneumatic on the rear wheels. And of course it would be cooler if it was air-cooled, which the GS is, which also has all wheel suspension, but you can't get those in diesel.
Very cool. By the way did the one your dad have, have air conditioning and cd player?

Excellent car. You show how well these engines start when the glow plugs are used correctly.
Greetings from the UK.

Beautiful car! Leather interior is lovely! Bravo!
Adam Grueber its an fucking ugly car
@@Juoppolalli it's his opinion divy fuck off
Juu Iltaa Vaan eipä ollu
Love the sound of that engine :)
Sounds very healthy....good that you didn't rev it....probably the reason it still is going strong...
Sounds exactly like my old BX! Fond memories indeed.
Great little car
The way diesel cars used to sound!
Absolutely beautiful! Those KMs just add to it's character
80 years , bertone style .. beautiful car
ultra rare going up in value

The engine saunds so well
Shame we didn't had the BX here where i live, it's a great car overall. And quite stylish 🙃
Lovely sound!
she's heating up lovely
What a noise! Love the old XUDs!
Great car. Lovely color. My next car is going to be an BX or 405
We have both :) I prefer the Bx
+Twan Naaijen What year is your BX?

My favourite car. Ever
I really do miss seeing these on the roads now, I spoke to a bloke who had the very, very last one left in sunderland while a go. His was the 1.6
e car sounds like my 300d before I changed the injectors, made a world of difference to its performance and fuel economy.

Superb cars these were! Better than any of today's shitboxes.

Nice car, nice sound!
Those Citroen's are so futuristic very cool car I wish we had them in North America.
Nice sound and great car .
it's not pneumatic, it's hydropneumatic. only those resevoirs are filled with gas, most of the system runs on hydraulics. thats why these cars have this phenomenal soft ride!
the locking solenoids use small explosions to activate lol
Beautiful car . I need one .

What an awsome car. FAntastico.
Salutes from Uruguay.
Heb dezelfde gehad. Wat een schitterend leren interieur.
Sehr cooles Auto. Gefiel mir schon vor 20 Jahren.
wonderful car!!!
464000 km ? Really amazing
yes i am fan old car !i haved audi 100(44)saab 9000,passat B3,fiat tipo))),passat B4.
The central lock that was heard around the world

ooh leather nice:)
First of all, they look like plastic and second , they are hard as rocks.
Super cool car👍love the leather seats
It can, but it's not very nice. When there is no pressure on the suspension there is zero dampening and bot the car and occupants get a bit of a beating. On models with powersteering you'll have none of that till the system has some pressure
Good condition🎉
Bellissima auto, quando le Citroën erano Citroën e con le sospensioni idropneumatiche facevano la differenza!!! Oggi purtroppo vediamo un copia e incolla Peugeot ! Che peccato !
Sounds take me back
nice car
one thing's for sure: it's got a GREAT engine! almost as good as on a 2CV (sorry, i'm a fan, can't help it!) ;)
please tell me is their hydropneumatic suspension reliable?
i may have an opportunity to buy one in it seems good condition (from first owner) and maintained, so i'm worried is it likely to just fail...
is it complicated or expensive to maintain?
Nice car BX TD ¡!!!
Precioso
Has a futuristic look like back to the future lol
Beautiful car, why cant Citroen make good looking cars anymore?
Классный Авто у меня 1991 года выпуска но не такая классная комплектация как у вас.
Very nice-looking car. Does is have air conditioning and cd player?
Qué cañonazo compadre
I apreciate you man ! I'd really like to meet you in person !
verry nice bx take care of itt thanks :)
just like a french car always starts
I love this car
Bella. É. Una. Citroen!!!!! "ciao
Piękny Citroen też mam BX-a Pozdrawiam
@BXTZDTurb I would really like to see a video of your BX! a driving video of my diesel should be up today.
I love this car :D
GO CITROËN
Hele mooie diesels
@BXTZDTurb I don't know why it's on the left side, haven't looked at it yet ( Bought this bx just a month ago) im currently working on my 1.6 TZI. Btw no airco and ABS on the diesel. Bosch injection (correct me if I'm wrong, this is my first diesel, model year 1993)
TOP ❤❤👍
Verrrry nice leather seats.
Mooie wagen!
Nice car
french cars op man , our R19 was at 300 000 when we sold it ,the new owner is reking it but it is still going xd
Love item, beautiful car
your bip of centralisation looks like the peugeot one.
@BXTZDTurb Do you have an electric sunroof? The leather and fog lights are build in last year. Where are you from? I am from Holland. I Will upload à video of the engine running soon
Marvellous ❤ year of the car? That engine is so reliable
The TZD Turbo BX Is From 1990
love the odd french styling, love the comfy suspension, love everything about it except.. that loud, clunky, rattly diesel WHYYY would anyone choose that over petrol is beyond me.
Real world 50 mpg. Startling amounts of torque. And it shouldn't be making that much noise. The turbo-diesel was really the pick of the BXs.
Hey twan,i dont know if was you that some time ago gave me an internet page from FRance that sold a lot of Bx Parts, i dont remember the adress and i need it. If you still remember i thank you. Regards from Uruguay
Quanto sono costati i sedili in pelle. Devo rimettere a nuovo bx ferma da 20 anni.
460.000 km....
Net ingelopen 👍
Now those kms were filmed 7 years ago, how much it has now?
can it start and drive straight away or do you have to wait for the back to come up?
Hola, por lo que aprecio es amante de bx. Usted los recomienda? Gracias
HAs RIMS or those are CAPS, they are very nice
c est joli, mais il faut la mettre dans un garage c est mieux.
Is it still alive?
سيارة جميلة جدا
When I was a kid, I was pissed off with my parents for being poor, so we could afford only a new AX 14 TGD and not this BX diesel -.-
i tell ya that is one clattery sounding motor!
bonjour a tous moi aussi je possede une citroen bx
