INJECTION -> HDi fuel and air circuit checks for Your Citroen Xantia 4 Door Second Generation (1993-2002)

CHECKS : LOW PRESSURE FUEL SUPPLY CIRCUIT  
XANTIA - SYNERGIE  
Engines : RHZ - RHY  
TOOLS  
[1] Ø 10 mm low pressure connector  
[2] Ø 8 mm low pressure connector  
[3] Pressure gauge for testing boost pressure  
: 4215-T  
: 4218-T  
: 4073-T  
Kit 4073-T  
Connect the tool [1] between the booster pump and the fuel filter (white mark at "a"  
on the fuel supply pipe).  
Connect the tool [2] downstream of the diesel injectors, between the high pressure  
fuel pump and the fuel filter (green mark at "b" on the fuel return pipe).  
WARNING : Any check of pressure downstream of the fuel filter is  
PROHIBITED.Checks on pressure : static.  
- Switch on ignition  
For 3 seconds (normal functioning) :  
- Fuel supply pressure shown by the pressure gauge [3] = 1.8 ± 0.4 Bar.  
- Fuel return pressure shown by the pressure gauge [3] = 0.5 ± 0.4 Bar.

CHECKS : LOW PRESSURE FUEL SUPPLY CIRCUIT  
XANTIA - SYNERGIE  
Engines : RHZ - RHY (continued)  
Checks on pressure : dynamic.  
Engine running, at idle (normal functioning):  
- Fuel supply pressure shown by the pressure gauge [3] = 2 ± 0.4 Bar.  
- Fuel return pressure shown by the pressure gauge [3] = 0.7 ± 0.4 Bar.  
Abnormal functioning  
Fuel supply pressure  
Fuel return pressure  
Checks  
Between 3 and 3.5 Bar  
0.7 ± 0.2 Bar  
Check the condition of the diesel filter  
Check the low pressure regulator incorporated in  
More than 3.5 Bar  
More than 3.5 Bar  
Less than 0.7 Bar  
More than 0.7 Bar  
Less than 0.7 Bar  
the filter (locked shut) : replace.  
Check the fuel return circuit (pipe pinched or trapped...).  
Check the fuel suppy circuit :  
- Booster pump (low pressure), piping.  
Between 0.8 and 1.5 Bar  
Impossible to start the engine :  
Check : diesel injector return flow. (Table below)  
Fuel supply pressure less than 0.8 Bar :  
- Check the low pressure regulator incorporated in the filter (locked open).  
- Check the high pressure pump distribution valve (locked shut).  
Uncouple the diesel injector return pipe.  
Check :  
The flow should be drop by drop.  
Excessive fuel return.  
Observe :  
Diesel injector functioning correctly.  
Diesel injector locked shut.

XANTIA - SYNERGIE  
Engines : RHZ - RHY  
TOOLS  
[1] Manual vacuum pump  
: FACOMM DA 16.  
IMPERATIVE : Respect the safety and cleanliness requirements.  
Vacuum pump.  
- Connect the tool [1] on the vacuum pump (1).  
- Start the engine.  
- Pressure should be 0.8 bar at 780 rpm.  
Boost pressure regulator electrovalve.  
- Connect the tool [1] between the electrovalve (2) and the valve (3) of the boost pressure  
regulator.  
Compare readings with the values in the table below.  
Engine speed (rpm)  
Pressure (Bar)

Pressure regulator valve.  
- Connect the tool [1] on the valve (3).  
- Appy a pressure of 0.5 bar to activate the rod "a" :  
- Rod "a" should be moved 12 mm.
