Regulator return pipe

[White Exec]

The part you require is the terminal, p/n 96 027 351

Good to find that pt.no., although NFP, and oddly listed as Socket Tool.

What is available, though, is 5280 P5 (Hydraulic Return Tube Sleeve), which is the rubber coupling that links height correctors to their plastic return pipes, same pipe sizes SFAIK, but is a right-angle widget. You may be able to use it, all the same.

That angles piece is no good because the regulator return is like 10mm outlet and the pipe on the xm is like 2mm clear plastic. Where the height corrector one is 2mm both ends...

Many thanks for all your replies

96 027 351 is available from other sources than Citroen for about £6.

Height corrector elbow is 4mm both ends (plastic pipe and brass tube), not 2mm.

If 10mm to 4mm, supergluing two short pieces of rubber hose one inside the other, would effect a fix.

Where's the pukka part from, Will?

I think it is the conical rubber pipe that Ray needs and I would be surprised if they could be got new, other than from Citroën perhaps? Regards, Matthew T.

The link above is for the correct part. I have even seen these on the bayof E, occasionally.

I've been able to make a temporary repair by using a turbo boost pressure gauge pipe, the pipe that goes from the manifold to the little gizmo that converts pressure into electricity. I also suspect it was the return feed from the rear suspension (although I could be wrong) as I'd noticed that the back end was dropping really quickly once switched off.
