Removing 2.0 TCT engine and other Activa thingies
Well decided to remove the whole engine as the head is a PITA to remove. I managed to split the head from the engine block and I saw that the cooling channels are completely blocked. Have to clean them thoroughly and in the process I will also change the piston rings and check the turbo.
Anyone has some tricks that could help me removing the engine? And any other things I should do when the engine is out?
Here is how it looks now. Million things need to be disconnected...

Re: Removing 2.0 TCT engine
I don't know where you are but if you want a replacement TCT engine I've got one for free as i need the space. It's located near bedford.
As for taking the engine out it's not that hard really, just keep on taking bits off that go from car to engine
The worst bits are the exhaust spring bolts and the o/s shaft can get stuck.

That would be great but unfortunately I live in Slovenia, where we by the way drive on the right side of the road

Re: Removing 2.0 TCT engine
They are quite blocked hey!
Any idea what caused them to clog up so much??
I seem to remember from some of the 205 drivers that with minor mods the tct can make good power gains, porting & polishing etc. Cam, With forged pistons you can clear 200brake with not too much bother!

Re: Removing 2.0 TCT engine
I don't know why are they so blocked, but I have cleaned them so now they are free.
I am very much interested in power gain if you have some more information...

Re: Removing 2.0 TCT engine
I think all you need for more smiles is a manual boost controller. It only runs 7 psi or something stock, but you can go up to 12 or 13 withouth putting the overboost light on, then it goes like a scalded cat!!

Re: Removing 2.0 TCT engine
On mine I stripped the head then ground and polished the ports. The turbo manifold on mine had a rather rough finish internally and a large lump that must have been part of the casting process so I ground the lump out and smoothed the surfaces. Dropping in a quality clutch is usually worth while.

Re: Removing 2.0 TCT engine
A bit of update.
Head grinded, valve seals changed, valve seats grinded.
Since I have the engine out decided to change the steering rack valves. As far as I know they tend to leak when you put hydrorincage into the system.
I ordered them at Citroen main dealer, price about 40eur, part.nr.: 4048.Q8. Hopefully I will never have a LHM leak again.
