This solves my puzzled left behind the time. I once own BX series. And I wondered why its brake pedel reponsive was too rigid like on off, no linearly response. Clip tells the brake system is not servo like others cars. However the suspension when I rode passing along low frequeny vibration like bridge shoulder or any road bump was very smooth. Its more comfortably than even mercedes or BMW with air suspension today.
The braking feel is unusual at first, but imo you can get used to it pretty quickly. Braking force is controlled not by how far the pedal is pushed, but by the force and there is really no travel. So to anyone who is used to normal cars will of course immediately max out the brakes.
Was thinking about it, weihht is your problem, motorcycles do not have hydraulic pumps for the height adjust, some form of accumulator maybe. On a big bike, with bmw telelever front end....
I always wondered how Citroën's Hydropneumatic suspension system performed in regions with cold winters (Canada, Finland, Russia, Norway, Sweden, etc...). Very cold weather must have an effect on the LHM fluid, the valves, the synthetic rubber, etc... Even regular vehicles need more maintenance in cold regions of the world and die an early death.
I would imagine that as the system bounces along, it does produce some heat as a byproduct of the fluidic movement. To that end the system would work at a higher temperature than that of ambient.
@@deezynar I was just thinking that any time in the design process that they found a reason to stop work on this kind of a system they instead added a new piece of equipment to compensate for the deficiency. They made the system even more complex with each iteration. Much like the Germans with the 911. "You can't make a decent handling rear engine sports car." "Oh, yes we can!" They did it but it took many generations of the car, a lot of money, and many years to get it right. Also, I may have had a few pints while going through the video series so my comment isn't as clear as I hoped at the time. :-)
Best system ever build, super comfort ride!!❤❤
Absolutely Awesome!!

I owned a Xantia back in the day, one of the best cars ever.
The suspension is just amazing, I wish more cars had something like that.
Also you get used to have a very nice and powerful breaks
I wonder how this system compares to these new "active" suspension system they have introduces a few years ago, on the cactus, c5 aircross and now c5x
Way better, fluid response.
Deveriam por isso em motos tbm...should put this sistem in motorcycles to👍🏼🇧🇷👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🇫🇷

My name is Daniel Jospin.
These videos are very good.
I would like to receive the legend in French.
Is this possible?
you can use youtubes auto translater, cheers!
The legend ...
Bloody brilliant! This system is crap but we've found many work arounds to make it less crap. Now, return to the work book.
Please elaborate.

It is a complex system, no doubt.
What improvements, or simplifications, have you and others, come up with?
@@deezynar None, actually. It seems like a purely hydraulic or mechanical/hydraulic would have made it simpler to work on, diagnose, and design.
@@TheNovaNorm
Peugeot is getting rid of it to cut costs.
It makes financial sense, but it's a sad day.
French cars and the STOP lamp..
Panicking motorists for nearly fifty years.
