An easy job for a change!!!

Post by CitroJim »

Today I have been putting a new cambelt and water pump on my very early (1993) 1.9TD Xantia.

I last did the same job over three years ago when I first got the car.

I'd forgotten just how easy and straightforward the job is on an early one with no aircon and those wonderful clip-on cambelt covers :D The whole job was a joy and a pleasure from start to finish!

I aslo had a great advantage that as I was the last one in there, no bolts were done up by a gorilla and even the crank pulley bolt gave in without resorting to the use of the starter motor :D

Those old MK1 original Xantias are the best. Why, oh, why did Citroen have to make later ones so much more difficult to work on :? :twisted:

Clip on cambelt covers rock. No fiddly bolts and no nasty impossible 11mm bolt on the rear cover :D :D
