Hello All. I would appreciate any useful replies pls. My 3ltr petrol has 4year old IFHS spheres that have done +20k miles. And i’m quite sure the spheres are the final piece of the suspension refurb puzzle and return the smoothness. Is it a valid option to recharge the existing IFHS spheres with a trip to Pleides? ANother idea as I do prefer OEM, would be to buy used OEM citroen spheres, and send them off for testing and recharge. Then i’ll have a swing set ready when i do get the existing spheres pressure tested. But do i need to be concerned about the part numbers? all Hydropneumatic3 C5 and C6 spheres are effectively the same unit if i understand correctly - apart from different pressures? Is that correct.? My research so far if it helps anyone 50bar - front & rear corner sphere x4 - citroen c6 part - 527610 70bar - front regulator sphere x1 - citroen c6 part - 527627 40bar - rear regulator sphere x2 - citroen c6 part - 527281 Thanks for all the useful posts. Invaluable BR Dave |

C5 ones will not fit to 2.7/3.0 because AMVAR on the C6 (=large sphere oil hole) if I'm got it right. C5 are all without AMVAR. | ||

Off the top of my head so double check on IFHS Sphere Shop: Rear corners are 40 bar. Rear stiffness spheres are also 40 bar. |

Hi, just checked on Sphere Shop.Yes, rear corners are 40 bar. Personally I would never fit spheres from a 2nd car or unknown source because of risk of contaimination. | ||

I have tried to post a HELP question ( My ABS light is on after being on a transporter for 3000 miles) I cannot find anyway to contact anyone on this website so I am reaching out here. Please reply if possible. Please start a new thread in "The Garage" forum. However, you will need to get the error codes read to understand what is causing the problem. |
