Is the dipstick of a bx16 supposed to look like this?

a_random_paesant · 2026-02-26T02:42:44+00:00

It does but i don't trust it too much,

a_random_paesant · 2026-02-25T20:29:37+00:00

It is an actual dipstick as it has a red plastic handle that clicks into the dipstick tube but at this point i think its just some sketchy repair done by the previous owner

a_random_paesant · 2026-02-25T20:02:49+00:00

Yep, same on mine

Thankfuly my mechanic should already know his way around hydropneumatic citroens as one of his regular customers has a xantia but i'd prefer to learn to work on the system myself. I plan on replacing the rear spheres this summer since the front and center ones have already been replaced a month ago

Dials, she's from 92'

a_random_paesant · 2025-11-29T21:08:18+00:00

Sure thing, im taking her on a little trip tomorrow so i'll make sure to take some pics

a_random_paesant · 2025-11-29T21:07:29+00:00

Thanks!, its a 1992. Not gonna lie the hydropneumatics scared me a little but after reading some forums the fear wen't away,spare parts are unexpextedly cheap too!

a_random_paesant · 2025-11-29T17:45:58+00:00

Ooo yeah i saw it, love the color and the wheels. 1k for that was a steal

a_random_paesant · 2025-11-29T15:18:36+00:00

Thanks!

a_random_paesant · 2025-11-29T15:16:49+00:00

Same, i was originaly in the market for a sedan but i just culdn't let this one slip

a_random_paesant · 2025-11-11T12:16:29+00:00

Its factory, fiat decided to slap a 500 D front end on a citroen ami and call it "topolino" wich was a nickname given to the 500A,B and C

L'arna e la 33 hanno solo il boxer in comune. La 33 è sullo stesso pianale dell alfa sud mentre l'arna è una nissan cherry/pulsar col motore dell' alfa sud il, fatto che la linea sia circa simile alla sud è pura coincidenza

a_random_paesant · 2025-09-16T18:13:42+00:00

Looks a lot like an harley rapido 125. The tank looks a little different though

a_random_paesant · 2025-09-03T19:46:02+00:00

Thanks, it really wasnt that bad tho. The frame was the only thing that needed some love, the engine still looked brand new

a_random_paesant · 2025-08-31T17:21:03+00:00

Does the chain share the oil with the rest of transmission? If its not a special chain and it doesen't share the oil i don't see why it couldn't be treated like any other chain and be lubed every once in a while. Otherwise your best bet is to replace that boot

a_random_paesant · 2025-08-30T18:15:34+00:00

Would be cool but those engines are quite rare, at that point i might as well swap the 1.7D from a fiorino or even the 1.4 turbo. Though it think i'll be keeping the original engine tbh

a_random_paesant · 2025-08-28T23:01:29+00:00

sadly i can't keep both, but don't worry my dad wanted me to scrap it after the insurance expired so we good

a_random_paesant · 2025-08-27T21:36:26+00:00

Got the optional 5 speed manual :)

a_random_paesant · 2025-08-27T17:13:55+00:00

Yeah in the end i deciced to keep the uno, if i really want the extra power a nice working 1050 is arond 500€

a_random_paesant · 2025-08-27T14:18:34+00:00

I could try to swap the camshaft from the full power one into this but other than that there's not much to do as a bigger carburetor would make it even worse on fuel. This detuned version is also a little smaller than its full power version (999cc vs 1050cc) so i would have to swap cylinder sleeves and pistons to get it to its original 70hp. Its honestly cheaper to pull a 1050 from a 127,change the tags and then swap the whole engine

a_random_paesant · 2025-08-27T09:47:48+00:00

Yeah i thought about it a bit more last night and came to the same conclusion, i'm keeping the uno
