New V6 from Spain
Posted: Sat Oct 16, 2021 9:27 am
Good afternoon
After having already virtually met some people on this forum, I encourage you to take the step and present the car as it deserves. The idea is to gradually implement the improvement process, which I hope will be as short as possible.
In my house, there have always been many Citroën, from AMI, GS, GSA, Visa, 2cv, BX, Xantia and currently a c5 III. Since I can remember I have been very fond of Citroën and although I have already owned and have some German junk, I have never owned a Citroën. I never convinced my parents to buy an XM instead of the BX and Xantia that they ended up buying (of course, it was a very expensive car for the time). So recently, and after a lot of thinking about it, I decided to buy an XM V6 that had been on sale for a long time and although I had many girlfriends, I was finally able to keep it (I take the opportunity to greet the ex-owner in case he stops by, a boy very very nice;))
After much reading and learning about the differences between the V6 PRV and the ES9, series I, series II, etc ... I decided to go see it.
It is an XM V6 SX Vert Vega from May 19, 2000 (I suppose it will be one of the last registered in Spain). The car has a maintenance book stamped periodically in Citroën Hispania until 2014. But during the last years it had been neglected ...
I leave you some photos of it two weeks ago when I went to see it ...
Anyway, I was very excited about the car. New battery, gasoline bottle, it started the first time and the next day we started it and I brought it home directly, prior to the first wash.
To this day, I have already made great strides with the car;
- Complete review of all oils and filters
- Timing belt
- New exhaust pipe
- Change all the buttons that did not light up
- Electric seat adjustment
- Pixel display
- Air conditioning charge
- Change all the spheres of the car
- General cleaning of the engine and interior
- etc...
These days I will be posting more photos.
Thank you all very much in advance.
