Nope. Xsara is not using hydraulic suspension.

only higher end models are using....such as DS, GS,CX, BX, Xantia, XM, C5 are using hydraulic system

my s-class has something similar.

really, really comfortable. memang tak rasa wei. if you wanna compare.... it's like sitting on a D cup girl brows.gif


but the suspension has a much much shorter expiry date compared to normal beam.... i think it's 40k max? and not cheap also.

I bought my C5 from the previous dealership when it was about to transfer dealership to Naza.
I got a 40k discount.
The price I paid is less than a 508 premium.
I almost bought the Ford Mondeo but decided on the Citroen C5 as the offer was good to miss. laugh.gif

Recond hydraulic pump (green ball) cost RM600, new cost RM1k+ each
If not mistaken, Xantia is using 5 balls.
Gearbox overhaul cost about 2-3k (if i remember correctly)... Brand new replacement at least 20k

Other than these, engine & others all ok.

Comfort wise, 100% sure more confortable than C5, it feel like magic carpet when going over speed bump.
U only hear the sound 'dup' 'dup' without any movement inside the car

Of course sourcing yourself is cheaper coz mechanic/ kedai potong kereta also need cari makan...


Not to forget, Xantia got a lever to adjust the height of the car.

Haha! Mercedes Benz E class RM370k cost that much to replace per absorber. What you are looking is S class range my friend. If not mistaken I saw on youtube those for S class airmatic suspension, USD1000 per piece. People can afford those money will go higher up, not staying in C5. But Citroën C6 gooding, my dad's boss last time tyre explode, but the pneumatic suspension keep stable like nothing happened. At that time time is the super old C6. Bad thing is replacement parts for pneumatic suspension are expensive until pants drop.

nanti kena class action suit
even bmw already kena with the mini engine...

QUOTE
BMW of North America LLC was hit with a proposed class action Wednesday in New Jersey federal court alleging an engine defect in some of its 2007-09 Mini Cooper vehicles have cost vehicle owners thousands of dollars in repair and replacement costs.
Named plaintiffs Joshua Skeen and Laurie Freeman contend BMW has known of the defect, which causes cars to suddenly quit without warning, since 2008, but failed to tell prospective purchasers about the problem, offer a recall or reimburse vehicle owners who have already paid to replace or restore their engines.

“Despite the safety risk to class vehicle occupants, defendants failed to disclose material information regarding the defect in an attempt to avoid the cost of repair and, instead, unfairly shift the cost of repair to class members,” the complaint said.

The models mentioned in the suit are the 2007-09 Mini Cooper R56 and the 2008-09 Mini Cooper R55.

The alleged problem is a defect in the Mini's timing chain tensioner, which maintains an appropriate tension of the engine's timing chain. The timing chain controls the timing of the engine's valves, but when the chain doesn't have proper tension or synchronization, the engine's pistons and valves collide with great force and the engine components suffer so much damage that the engine seizes and the vehicle loses all power, according to the complaint.

Some cars.....they didnt bother to put sensors here & there..... if some minor defects happened, they will stay there unnoticed....maybe not that serious.

But some cars like pug.....they put many2 sensors....silap skit trigger....silap skit trigger. Tu yg memanjang trigger tu. Last 2 months got engine light on because of premature priming on cylinder numb. 4..... only happened for short time but the sensor need to be reset.

If you are talking about the early AL4 gb, agree. Really headache.

The later AL4s such as those on the 208 (AT8) are OK. Improved version of AL4.

Just make sure it is properly maintained. And of course, for AT....if you drive like a MT gearbox, any AT gb will also kaput.
