Thinking of changing the cambelt on our van and wanted to know how difficult it is on the 1.9 diesel engine. How do you lock the engine and cams. Also think the fuel pump timing may be out as the van seems to kangaroo when you put your foot all the way down on the throttle. have already de-catted and blanked egr and it has made it a little better but still kangaroos.
thanks in advance

Re: Citroën Dispatch Cam Belt
Assuming you mean its the 1.9 NON Turbo NON Hdi engine??
The pump timing on the belt WONT be out, it only needs to be a tooth out and the engine will NOT start.
The 1.9d N/a is exactley the same idea as the old XUD... Lock and crank with a bolt behind the starter, and lock the Cam with a bolt through the cam to the head.. and two bolts in the injection pump..
The CAM bolt is in a different location to the XUD, more at 7pm rather then 4pm.

Re: Citroën Dispatch Cam Belt
They arent too difficult if you have done a few, but they have depending on model year etc an adjustable fuel pump pulley only or adjustable fuel pump pully and cam pulley, if its set even a little bit off it will bring the engine light on this used to be a common complaint after getting a timing belt fitted, the Dw8 engine which i think is the one you have has a tendancy to chew the timing belt and it often slips, which will make it very rattly although this is just diesel knock and 9 times out of ten it doesnt do much damage to valves or anything
Re: Citroën Dispatch Cam Belt
Well, how longs a piece of string? Difficulty depends upon how many other timing belts you have done, if this is your first then it will take some time to get it right. Autodata book time for changing the belt is about 2.5 hours, removing the covers and getting it ready for changing will take the majority of time, the actual changing of the belt is quite easy and shouldnt take longer than about 20 minutes or so, you are fortunate that with the dispatch there is plenty of access room which makes life a bit easier. Again referring to the Autodata book, they have the best description of how to go about the job, so find someone who has a copy or buy one (phew,£80 ish) I would automatically replace the two idlers, might as well whilst you are there, also if its done a fair mileage its quite easy at this stage to replace the water pump at the same time - do so and you are fine for another 100K!
