How to: Replace Citroen XM brake doseur

[@2512MaTHias]

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! 👍

[@dailyingxm]

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

Congratulations, excellent video. You are very brave, not only because of the weather, but for doing this job on an XM V6 with Diravi, without pulling half of the car apart !!! My XM is a 2.0i, greetings from Valparaiso, Chile.

[@dailyingxm]

Thank you for your kind words! XM with a V6 engine will teach you what difficult access means :D 2.0i is bombproof engine and it makes every repair and maintenance to an XM a joy!

Brilliant video ! Beautifully edited, very well filmed and narrated. I like your humour too - Citrobatics and yoga. Ahhh ! Life with an XM. I live in sunny Queensland in Australia - luckily I will never need to work in -7 degrees Celsius ! You are a stoic human. Thank you for your generous sharing. I’m grateful.

[@dailyingxm]

Thank you for your kind words! I must admit that sometimes I’m bit jealous for you and those who are living in nice warm climates :D Queensland must be nice place to be and work under the XM.

[@2512MaTHias]

Citrobatics… 😂 I never heard this word before, but it describes best the situation working on these french cars…

[@jannetoivanen3298]

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.

[@dailyingxm]

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

[@jannetoivanen3298]

@@dailyingxm Yeah, I have a -92 model 309 so it's interesting to see videos of the same era Citroen.

[@dailyingxm]

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

Big LIKE! I Admire your commitment. I don't think I would have done that in the dead of winter outside... ;)

You are a máster.🔝💯🔝💯

Thank you, your ID 19 is really gorgeous!

[@filiptichy5620]

Thank you for your videos! I recently bought '92 V6 Xm so I'm gonna need them I think 😁

[@dailyingxm]

Gratz for your purchase! Biggest down sight of XM is that after driving one other cars becomes bit boring. Few years back I drove all summer my brother’s ’89 XM V6 and after that I just had to buy one :D

BTW in my community page you can find link to Peter Russek’s workshop manual for petrol XM

Thank you for this very useful video 👍🏻

[@redrose_666]

Thanks for sharing mate!

[@michaelheimbrand5424]

And here I am with a four post lift, complaining about how "difficult" some things are. As a Swede, I just got another lesson in the meaning off the word "sisu".

[@dailyingxm]

Four-post lift would be really handy especially with XMs :D To tell a truth I’d rather work in freezing temps than at the spring time when everything is wet and muddy.

[@alexx09RO]

Is it more crowded than a 2.0i under the lhm tank? I'm replacing the steering rack atm, and i noticed that the doseur is quite accesible from the wheel arch, well, at least some pipes are. Anyways, thank you for all the clips! Leared a lot from you! All the best!

[@dailyingxm]

I actually did replace those “long” hydraulic lines from the the doseur to my brothers 2.0i. It wasn’t pleasant job but there’s more space due to lack of Diravi and all Diravi related stuff. Thank you and all the best to you and your XM!

[@pablogimeno464]

Fabulous Job!, can I ask you where did you buy the refurbished brake valve? is it shared with other models or specific to V6?

[@dailyingxm]

Thank you! The doseur was from my spare collection and I refurbished it in this video:czcams.com/video/TEOGZYJ_HvA/video.html . I bought seal kit from CX Basis: www.cx-basis.de/bremsventil-ueberholsatz-cx-82-bt-16671.html . The doseur is same in all the XMs but BX, Xantia and the CX doseurs have a feed for rear brakes in different place.

ces super pour les Xantia ces pareille svp Jai la 2l 132cv 1995 essence

Sitkee vääntö.mulla oli xantia ja siinä ei onneks ollut hydrauliikan kanssa ongelmia.

[@dailyingxm]

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 😅
