Citroen Xantia Hand Brake Cable
Understanding the Hand Brake Cable in Your Citroen Xantia
The hand brake, also known as the parking brake, is an essential component of your Citroen Xantia's braking system. It provides stability when the vehicle is parked and can also be used as an emergency brake if the main brakes fail. The hand brake cable is a crucial part that connects the hand brake lever to the brake shoes or calipers, depending on your Xantia's brake setup. Over time, the hand brake cable can wear out or become damaged, necessitating a replacement to maintain your vehicle's safety and functionality.
Choosing the Right Hand Brake Cable for Your Xantia
When it comes to selecting a new hand brake cable for your Citroen Xantia, it's important to choose a part that is compatible with your specific model. The hand brake cable must be of the correct length and design to ensure proper engagement and release of the brake mechanism. Our selection of other braking components includes high-quality hand brake cables that are designed to meet or exceed OEM specifications for your Citroen Xantia.
Installation and Maintenance of Hand Brake Cables
Installing a new hand brake cable can be a complex task that may require special tools and expertise. It is recommended that the installation is carried out by a professional mechanic to ensure that the hand brake functions correctly. Regular maintenance checks should include inspection of the hand brake cable for signs of wear or damage, and lubrication to prevent corrosion and ensure smooth operation.

What is a Hand Brake Cable?
Most hand brakes consist of a cable that is directly connected to your car's braking system on one end and to a lever or foot-operated pedal on the other.
When the handbrake is applied, the hand brake cable engages the rear disc pads or brake shoes and is used to stop it rolling forwards or backwards when the car is parked or waiting at a junction.
How can you tell if the Hand Brake Cable is Failing?
You can tell if the hand brake cable is broken or failing in a few ways.
- The hand brake doesn't work at all.
- You must pull the hand brake up entirely, and the car doesn't stay still. You would notice this more on a hill.
It's essential that you get your hand brake cable checked if any of these occur and get it replaced quickly.
