Citroen Xantia Activa Brakes

Recommended Posts

hello, i have a set of these sat in the shed, and i tried fitting them on the car but there was no offset of the disk, is this because i tried mounting to 1.6 hubs and , i just thought would it make any difference on 1.9 hubs are ive heard there different in some way apart from the driveshaft

 

cheers

xantia activa brakes won't work in the standard system unless you change the seals, they use LHM not brake fluid and brake fluid melts LHM seals.

 

and don't go putting LHM in your brakes because LHM melts brake fluid seals.

the offset is too low for the 1.9 hubs as well, and as mentioned they work with LHM not DOT fluid.

 

and the handbrake works on the front not the back.
