Hello! My beautiful Xantia (2.0 petrol) unfortunately had a bigger breakdown on the weekend. On a motorway ride there was a funny noise (a clack) from the engine compartment and the oil temperature went up. I stopped and called the ADAC. He moved immediately with the tow truck. Diagnosis of the ADAC employee was no oil! But that could not actually be. Otherwise the car would have used up to 8,000 km 4 liters of oil. I then filled 2.5 liters of oil and am to a workshop of one The sound was back and performance was not normal either. The water temperature is normal and the engine compartment is totol dry. Do you have any idea what all this can be? Greeting Jörg-Peter

Ahoi, After several attempts to buy a Xantia, I decided two days ago ad hoc(!) for the small 1.8er. I had already bought many cars, most recently a Volvo V70 D5 (one should think: modern and robust). Especially this one cost me a small fortune. He had bought most recently almost 300tkm, but also expensive. By chance I passed a beautiful Xantia 1.8 16v, shortly after the Volvo had left. And I thought I would just try it. Nich t a spark of rust the car has and both engine and hydraulics work perfectly. It is incredible, but everything works perfectly, from sunroof to climate. Everything tip top! My conclusion after two days and 300 km: This is the best vehicle I’ve ever driven! A top driving behavior! It makes all other cars, much newer, much more modern pathetic. Bravo! That’s what I call really safe driving. I drive now only Xantia. The few liters fuel. The last years have confirmed that diesel is only worth more than 40,000km/year. I would have driven better petrol with my 35,000km! The Xantia is the most positive surprise in many car years and that is unexpected, because it was only added as a transitional car. Get in and feel really comfortable.
