a citroen zx

does anyone know where i can find new/used parts for a citroen zx 1.8? I do not know for sure if citroen still manufactures this car anymore, but I am in need of new shock absorbers (preferbly oem), but do not know where i can find them here in the states. Can someone point or link me to a site, address, or someplace i contact...any help is appreciated,

Thanks!

the production of the ZX stopped in the year 1997...

you have a ZX in USA ??? :eek:

Look on this site : http://www.frenchrev.com
Indeed it's surprising that you have a ZX in the USA, it wasn't sold there.

but why a ZX? it's a good car, but even in France it's not a very attractive car :confused: ;)

well...it's strage than somebody know about this car in states :D

In the past 25 years, the only Citroens that have been legally available in the US have been the CX (sold in the US as the CX Auto) and the XM. I've been told that CX Auto considered bringing the BX over, but I have never heard of one actually being sold. The last time Citroen was officially in the US, they sold the SM in the early-mid 1970s.

indeed !
Ah, the SM, it was wonderfull, hope they'll do a new one.

héhé I read about de CXA ... it wasn't very legal :bloated:

CX Auto was legal in the US...they just weren't official in the eyes of Citroen.

for me it's not very legal to send a car, changing his name, without the autorisation on citroen...

but i don't vare, due to them, the CX and the XM was sold in the states, and that's nice...did somebody have pictures of the american XM??? i know than the headligts are differents...

they also wanted to do a XM spider...but the companay splitted before...


(please apologies me fort he bad english ;) )

The XM was actually sold in the US as a Citroen. There have been a few companies that have imported cars without the authorization of the manufacturer. In the years following gray-market cars (back when companies could just "bring a car up to regulations" and sell it), CX Auto brought over Citroens, a company called AutoDelta is currently importing Alfa Romeos, and Europa International imported the Mercedes-Benz G-Class for nearly two decades. As few cars as these companies imported, at least they make the vehicles available when the manufacturer won't or can't.

Besides, some of these importers make funny stories once they're gone (and sometimes while they're still around).

I was completely surprised to read about a ZX in the US?? :eek:

But hey, it's a good car, very much fun to drive, escpecially with the passive steering rear-axle.
I'm driving my second now. First one was a 1.9i Volcane, now it is a 1.9D but it's starting to have difficulties in running problem free. Between 160 and 180.000kms radiator, brake discs and pulley for main distribution belt needed to be changed, and it starts sounding a bit "hollow" in the low revs. Maybe I should start thinking of replacing it...

yeah, of course it'a a great car...but not a very sexy design indeed

but a ZX in the states...xhat a creasy idea :D

True I can think of sexier cars too.
I still can't believe it... a ZX in the States :jump:

Indeed, that's odd. First, the Americans are just going to know and appreciate the hatchback (as Golf, 307, etc.) with the Golf and the Focus and the ZX has not an as attractive design as its competitors.
