Xm History By Year Model, translated from the dutch!!

This is on the dutch xm site and I've translated it via bablefish.
There are a few other interesting items at: http://www.xmclub.nl
Have fun with the wonky translation!

L'évolution...

The Citroën XM have been wide 11 years in production. On left 5 June 2000 very last XM, V6 Exclusive Automatique in the colour snatch Fulminator the production line in Rennes-la-Janais, year still no after the Citroën XM club the Netherlands z n’left behind foot tracks there.

In those 11 years is there natural rather what modifications and improvements carried out to XM. What to think of the restyle in the summer of 1994, or the upgrade to Hydractive II just as for that. And there we go already …. a mix of technique on the one hand and equipment differences on the other side. This betoog will concern mainly the technical development of XM. The emphasis will lie at these "Evolution XM" on the model years 1992 until the end of production. By way of illustration: a model year modification enters at PSA by the summer of the previous year. Or still more clearly than: model year 1994 starts production-technical around May 1993.

model year 1992 ORG. no. 5271®

Modification of the brake disks and crams as from 03/91. the oppervlak of both disks and to cram is increased. For: brake claws and brake disks f 283 mm. As from ORG. no. 5583 introduction of the new chair lining velours Lille (comfort) and velours Marina (ambiance).

coachwork colours: Sable Phénicien, Blanc, snatch Meije, bleu Memphis one, snatch Basalte, snatch Cristal, snatch flint, Noir Verni, bleu Saphir, rouge Mandarin, snatch Gabion, Vert triton.

model year 1993 ORG. no. 5623®

Introduction of the tweespakig wheel wheel, renewed verlichtingschakelaar incorporated in the indicator switch and a modification (inversion) of the connections of the two-delicate (male becomes vrouwtje) as from organisation number 5594.

coachwork colours: Sable Phénicien, Blanc Meije, bleu Sirène, bleu Sidéral, bleu Saphir, snatch Quartz, snatch Basalte, snatch flint, Noir Verni, rouge Mandarin, rouge Opéra, snatch Gabion, Vert triton, Vert Véga.

model year 1994 ORG. no. 6031®

XM V6 as from model year 94 it is operated by a new engine which in the volksmond the name V6 will carry Couple. This new engine (engine code ZPJ) gets modified contents of 2975 cm³ to 2963 cm³. This reduction is obtained by shortens of the battle to 72.3 mm (were 73 mm) and a broadening of the dia meter of the combustion chamber of 92 mm to 93 mm.

Also modify at the new engine the injection computer, engine wire cord and injectoren. Finally there a development of the institution of the nokkenas takes place.

All diesel engines are provide with a purification system with a recirculation with the exhaust gases (EGR). The 141 pk turbo CT engine (RGY) is replaced as from ORG. no. 6263 by the 150 pk RGX variant and gets hollow pistons, another bolt and another injection computer to bring about a quieter but something more powerful character.

Beside the V6 models now 4-cilinder models also all get encoded startbeveiliging.

The mechanical acceleration barge BE3 gets a modified transferring of 2e acceleration (23x43). The turbo CT gets the arrangement concerning 4HP18 the automatic acceleration barge. With regard to the wheel framework V6 and the V6.24 other feather balls get by (including hydractive-bol) and other models also all a new articulation of the first triangel and an elastic framework of the achterbruglichaam (the sending along with rear axle). These are therefore such as many do not think at the model modification of model year 1995 informed. As from 1 July 1993 the onderhoudsinterval for petrol models are raised to 15,000 kilometres.

colour range 1994: Blanc Banquise, rouge Opéra, bleu Mondial, bleu Saphir, snatches Crépuscule, Vert triton, snatches Sable Phénicien, Quartz, snatches one, snatches flint, Noir Verni, rouge Mandarin, snatches Gabion and Vert Véga. Binnenbekledingen: Comfort – Lille velours, ambiance – Marina velours, V6 – Cuir Ouragan/Cuir Savane/alcantara velours.

NB Models for Germany become already provide with the strengthening beams in the portieren.

model year 1995: Restyle Xm ORG. no. 6383®

model year 95 is in the first place characterised by the facelift which undergoes Xm both to the outside and to the binnenkant. Of outside modify for - and achterbumper, grille, square wipers for and behind, zijclignoteurs, mirrors (oval and spouted), achterspoiler and wheel capsules/rims.

To the binnenkant we see especially the new dashboard and instrument panel, the wheel column cover and the wheel wheel with airbag and eventually the chair - and interieurbekleding.

Beside airbag pyrotechnical gordelspanners are provided standard on all models, like also a hoogfrequente remote control (yes or no with super far locking). The rechterbuitenspiegel can be ordered with indexeerbaar a memory for 3 scores. The tiptoets square service with anti-klemvoorziening are equipped.

Two new engines do their entrance, the 135 PK strong 2.0i-16V (1998 cc) also indicated as RFV or XU10J4R and the 130 PK generating 2.5 turbodiesel (2446 cc) also THY or DK5ATE called. Freedom-half we indicate these engines further such as RFV and THY.

The new THY engine can be coupled to the new MG5T acceleration barge, which is also applicable on the ZPJ (v6) and ZPJ4 (v6.24). Expires for that last two models Me5t-bak. THE RFV and THY become to provide with the SC/mac-systeem, this means anti-inzak supplies after turning off the engine. Also become these two models provide with the new 6.2 plunjer hogedrukpomp. Because of this the wheel turnover dispenser (the black hydraulic cube near the stock ball) expires and is fed wheel ratification by 6 the plunjers on the one hand and the vering and slows down by 2 the remaining plunjers on the other side.

The new range for XM the berline contains 3 levels, namely knows SX, VSX and Exclusive. For the break the Exclusive implementation are not deliverable.

Concerning the vering feather legs, stabilizer grips modified at a number of models and achterveercilinders has been assembled. THE THY get tevens new developed hydractive computer.

At the THY, ZPJ and ZPJ4 hydraulic link service is assembled. New also electronic tractiontraction traction is by means of a sensor in the acceleration barge on all models.

As from ORG. no. 6597 the schoksensor in the motorcompartiment are assembled, which concludes the petrol supply after a collision or other bump. After impressions of the bud under the cap the engine will start.

strengthening beams and absorbing block-systems in the portieren for protection at lateral collisions are assembled standard on all models.

New coachwork colours: Bleu Stratos, Vert Poseidon, rouge Cerise and Brun Quad.

To expire colouring: Rouge Opéra, Vert, snatch triton one, snatch flint and rouge Mandarin.

THE SX version are equipped with velours Mégalithe, the VSX with velours Louvre and the Exclusives preserved the old combinations.

model year 1996 ORG. no. 6750®

After the very serious modifications of model year 1995 succeed annually until the end of production quality improvements each other in high tempo. These improvements have been particularly aimed at increase of comfort, the security and the environment.

6.2 Hd-pomp are as from now provided on all XM models except V6.

The vervangingsinterval for bougies are raised of 30,000 to 60,000 kilometres. The injection computers are reprogrammed and satisfy to emissienorm L3 (European standard EURO96). Engine RFV gets tevens a new catalyst with an increased quality to edelmetalen; kode PSA K103. Also the RFV smaller nokkenaslagers get (23mm instead of 24mm), as well as other bolts, nokkenaslagercarters and nokkenassen.

The turbo CT engine gets RGX also another catalyst PSA K058 and another injection computer with programmable flash-eprom.

By assembly of another dynamo v-snaren get 6 instead of 5 job. Carriages with air conditioning get an automatic oar tensioner.

Model THY undergoes a range developments concerning the emissienorm L3. Be assembled successively new inspuitcomputers, engine wire cords, catalysts, express, air very probes, inlaatluchtverdelers, EGR, gloeibougies and extra with regard to the old model year an air flow meter after the air filter and elektroklep for progressive service of the gasklephuis on the inlaatspruitstuk.

There comes renewed Be3-bak for the RFV and Xm D12 with crooked vertanding of acceleration. For this adapted primary ash, the link cog wheel of the reverse and 1e/2e the synchromeshes are. For file comfort still more the turbo CT RGX becomes provides with modified koppelomvormer in 4hp18-automaat. Also gets these 4HP18 as well as Me5t-bak the drive shafts in buisvorm, modified for all models, which have a dia meter of 40 mm instead of 30 mm.

Hydractive computers become af-fabriek ge-upgrade with reference software H4 S2J2G. Computers already existing of the type of H4 S2G2G, H4 S2H2G and H4 S2I2G can be replaced by new (H4 S2J2G).

Models turbo CT and 2.1 TD have new bedieningsplunjer for the wheel ratification with a doorsnede of 6 cm³ instead of 4 cm³ . This modification helps file comfort.

THE ABS of supplier "Bendix" are replaced "Teves" on all types except V6.24. bleed of Abs-blok are possibly no longer, Abs-computer have been assembled on the block-system himself, veiligheidsrelais have been assembled on the feeding on the accumulator barge and new snelheidssensoren are finally used.

On the instrument panel the clairvoyant for town lights is comes expire. This spot has been already reserved for zij-airbags. A considerable number of wire cords has been modified and among other things provides with secured stekkers. Because of this modify the bedieningsrelais of the koelventilatoren, the central modulator koelwatertemperatuur (BITRON), the driving force behind the phased square service and the injectierelais are modified in double an implementation. A new meter block-system ensures that dashboard reduction burns exclusively if reduction is integrated. On the keyboard of the startbeveiliging some modify tests and the standard factory code modifies of 0001 in 1111.

For increase of comfort exclusively still aircocompressoren with variable contents are assembled.

New coachwork colours: Beige Ivoire Clair, bleu Mauritius, bleu Buckingham, bleu Amiral and rouge Griotte.

To expire colouring: Bleu Mondial, bleu Saphir, Sable Phénicien and rouge Cerise.

model year 1997 ORG. no. 7109®

Engines 2.1, d12 and 2.0i-8V go out production. The last has been in the Netherlands since the Restyle already no longer deliverable. In all European countries emissienorm L3 are for both petrol - and obliges diesel implementation and therefore standard on the Xm. only V6.24 can be still provided according to standard z (US83).

As from organisation number 7147 bosch injection computer MP5.2 replaces the older one MP5.1.1 on the RFV engine. The computers are not uitwisselbaar. MP5.2 flash-eprom have and 2.0i-16V becomes tevens provide with a new engine wire cord, lambdasonde and elektroklep carbon filter. Also a firmer construction between engine and acceleration barge has been reached by placing two grooved strengthenings in the oil casing. Be able carry Hd-pomp and dynamo the dynamo support modified and of cast iron it has been made both.

2.1 the TD P8C engine become to provide with a new petrol filter with interval 30.000. the diesel filter must 10,000 km be bled. The gaspedaalsensor bosch have been replaced by a type of Lucas diesel.

2.0i-16V the RFV become concerning a modified affirmative of the link casing provide with another Be3-bak.

Again new hydractive computer H5 S2J2G does its entrance without more and can the types H4 S2J2G, H4 S2H2G, H4 S2I2G and H4 S2G2G replace.

Using hoogfrequente remote control now disconnection of the startbeveiliging is during a minute possible. New (puls)schakelaar for the achtermistlampen ensure that these automatically doven after to eliminate of ordinary reduction. The hygrometerlampje on the vochtafscheider of the airco expire on all types except THY. The kijkglaasje for the vulmiddel remain simply of course maintained. Vochtafscheiders with and without hygrometerlampje are not mutually uitwisselbaar.

New coachwork colours: Snatch Graphite, Sable d’été.

To expire colouring: Snatch Crépuscule, snatch Gabion.

model year 1998 ORG. no. 7511®

One new V6 engine, ES9J4 or XFZ called, do its entrance and contain standard 24 flaps.

Also two new acceleration barges for this model of itself let speak; mechanical 5-bak ML5T (that MG5T succeed) and the ZF automat 4HP20 with four accelerations ahead and electronic supervision of changing gear. Also V6 now 6.2 the plunjer and a specific wheel ratification with a drukregelaar get pump. Anti-inzak the system SC/mac is finally assembled also on V6.

All vehicles V6 and 2.5TD as from organisation number 7483 become to provide with other voorremklauwen, block-systems and disks (Berline & break) and brake block-systems/disks (only Berline). Also as from org.nr. 7483 the hogedrukregelaars modify concerning a new hydraulic supply connection on all types of Xm (of Hd-pomp to Hd-regelaar).

Modifications in the electric circuit can be reflected as follows: the assembly of 3e the remlicht, expires of the switch for the fuel supply at the diesel models, equipment zij-airbag and wire cords dashboard and portieren concerning expired option super far locking. Slightly then something modifies the nose of XM stronger chevron by application of another grillesteun with.

model year 1999 ORG. no. 7847®

The onderhoudsintervallen are again extended. petrol implementation gets interval 20,000 instead of 15,000 and diesel models get interval 15,000 instead of 10.000. these intervallen have been based on the use of engine oil with quality name API SJ/cf.

XM 2.1TD/p8c will satisfy to the new emissienorm L4 and is called as of now XUD11BTE/l4. this to realise the following components has been modified or has been renewed: catalyst, engine wire cord, precombustion chamber (specific bolt), inlaatluchtverdeler, sprays, inspuitcomputer and the elektrokleppen of the EGR and gasklephuis. This engine is exclusively deliverable with mechanical 5-bak.

XM 2.5TD/thy becomes to provide with a new fuel supply system and a another fuel filter. Also the lichtmetalen rims of XM undergo a modification. rim type of Etoile (the undulated rim) is as of now fabricated without loose capsule in the rim heart. The length of the propeller wire (under the head) of the wielbouten modifies of 46 mm in 42 mm. The propeller wire in the rim himself has been therefore also modified. The rim for XM the Exclusive is called as of now Ville the Monte Carlo instead of Monte Carlo and here applies the same tale with regard to the wielbouten. The wielbouten mutual (long and short implementation) are not uitwisselbaar, except for the reservewiel.

TIP: the new rim types cost still but half with regard to old.

A modification in the brake circuit still announces himself at the end of production. This concerns expires of the drukcontact of the brake system, with which the hydractivecomputer during slowing down the vering in the stugge could score change gear. As a result of this intervention another hydractive computer H5 it has been used 3B2G, which can the vering put dependent on the vehicle speed in the stugge score by means of the voertuigsnelheidssensor. This new computer can replace the next generation computers: H5 S2J5G, H4 S2J2G, H4 S2I2G, H4 S2H2G and H4 S2G2G.

model year 2000 ORG. no. 8211®

All XM’s which has been produced as from organisation number 8211 is API SJ/cf SAE provide 5W-30 with engine oil. This oil cannot be used in previous models.

XM the turbo CT RGX become to provide with a new oil pump. At XM 2.1TD P8C middle the exhaust silencing device disappears. There again a modification takes place concerning the wielbouten for lichtmetalen rims. Afschuining are applied in the affirmative breaches at the lichtmetalen rims and at the steel rim of the reservewiel the set-up rings are on behalf of the special wielbouten for lichtmetalen rims no longer necessary.

The organisation number (white or yellow lakstempel) in the door opening disappears as such and is moved down (approx. 20 cm) on a sticker with the colour code and tyre pressure data. The first affirmative of the subframe gets modified craps and the end of a member is replaced.

model year 2001 ORG. no. 8576®

For the very last model year of XM (that only a wide month lasted) no more modifications has been carried out. 23 May 1989 (commercial) the birth day of XM was, 5 June 2000 the history enters as a sterfdag of XM. In 11 years time left approx. 333,400 eXeMplaren the factories in Rennes-la-Janais (Berlines) and in Cérizay at Heuliez (breaks).

I love translation engines

I particularly like:

I've never heard a gearbox called an acceleration barge before

However I think we all get the general idea

I must say its fairly comprehensive.

Thank you Archman1, for a comprehensive list of model changes and a lot of laughs. Doesn't it remind you of Lewis Carrol? "All mimsy were the slithy toves......".

Don't know what hurts the most - my head from trying to translate the "translation"
or my sides from laughing too much...

"Concerning the vering feather legs, stabilizer grips modified at a number of models"

you can pretty much make anything out of it your imagination allows!! It IS very much
bizarre jabber!!

Actually, an autobox is a bit of an "acceleration barge" - certainly blunts the effect of the
engine's performance getting in the way of movement!!

Andrew

I guess it accelerates your barge (XM), so maybe Babelfish isn't tooooo bad after all

Perhaps the yr 2000 ORG models are best avoided!

"The first affirmative of the subframe gets modified craps and the end of a member is replaced."

Think I suffer enough with the one I've got!
