how bad is the maintenance?
*
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

on ebay I can find Xantia suspension spheres for USD50 each.

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.

maintenance is nothing.
just need to look out at clips at the octopus hose...and maintain the LHM fluid.  keep the filters clean and you will have no headache.
engine and gearbox is bomb proof.  same engine and gb as ZX also.

Both Xantia & ZX gearbox are timebomb! French cars are well known with problematic gearbox
Only the engine is realiable...
