On behalve of me too, welcome at this forum.
I think to get affordable parts for an XM will take some search as they were originally not sold in your country. I know from Hungaria that carshops could get their hands on replacement parts (either original or not) but went to Germany or Italy to buy it there. And that could take weeks. :roll:

Thank you all for welcoming :D

In Bulgaria have Citroen dealer. I ordered parts only from there, but wait 10 days for delivery from France.
Three months ago I renewed my exhaust generation - original. The car is very quiet now, but the catalyst started to be destroyed and hear a ringing sound :problem:

This is photo of my new exhaust generation:

If it's just the catalyst part this might be of interest to you:

Still a lot of money though. But it's available. From my car (same model/engine/gearbos as yours) the last silencer is not as good as I want it to be. But I've not found a replacement yet....


Is this original part? :shock:

XM 3.0 V6 12 klepper. An oldie but a goodie.
  • Turbo's blazen.
  • Schokbrekers zuigen.
  • V6-en huilen.

Coolman, this is NOT an original catalyst converter for ES9 but a UK build
OEM similar one (hence Uni-Fit). The quality is not the same as Citroën. It didn't last on my
ES9 for longer than 2 years and then the annual test failed.
It's up to you if you want to buy it or not.
BTW, I know from experience that it is the same one is this one:

Perhaps the C6 wheels will fit with a spacer?

I have 17" 7J ET40 wheels and they fit without any problems.
With the car in the lowest position I can put my little finger round the outside.
On the inside of the wheel is a bit more space.

So I think that 8J and ET40 will also fit without problems, but I dont know for sure. :wink:

I meant that the ET 33 probably won't fit on a Xm.
On this picture you can see how `wide´ the wheels go with ET 38, go even further and it won´t fit


On 8J ET33 it's more 5mm out!

Yes, with 8J ET40 will fit without problems.

BasisBIX what's your tires size ?

I use this calculator
http://www.1010tires.com/wheeloffsetcalculator.asp

and start from 6J ET43 (original XM rims).

Thank you boys. :wink:
I will look for other wheels, maybe TOMASON TN4 7,5J ET42

I did the following calculations.
If your disks is 276mm you can add +2 to +4 point to end ET.

5.5J - ET from 19 to 37
6J - ET from 13 to 43
6.5J - ET from 19 to 49
7J - ET from 26 to 56
7.5J - ET from 32 to 54
8J - ET from 38 to 48

I hope to be helpful in the selection of wheels :wink:
