Engine type? D8B on riveted plate?

[romie]

Hi,

I need to order an aux/alternator/fan belt and the timing belt for my car.

I need to know the exact engine type/number so I can get the right ones.

I think it should start XUD9...

On my registration documents there is an engine number but there is nothing starting with XUD9..

There are two plates riveted on the engine block, one small with printed letters, the other one larger which has been engraved.

After a lot of scraping I can only read the smaller of the two plates, the larger one will probably need removing and degreasing to read, it might just be the serial number tho?

The smaller of the two plates has 'D8B' printed on it.

I think this should translate to another number like (XUD9TEF/L, XUD9TF/W2, XUD9BTF/L3...)

Anyone know how I can find this out?

Thanks frustratedly, Romie

(may or may not have aircon. Seems to as it has a bottle with a sight glass like the dryers found on other air con systems. But there is no obvious aircon pump or air con switches in the cockpit :/ )

[romie]

I've just rang Unipart and they reckon from the number D8B it's an XUD9TF.

Is this correct?

Sorry for the rant but:

How'd they know that?

Why didn't Citroen just put XUD9TF on the plate instead of D8B?... or just use D8B for reference instead??

And now there are two choices for the axillary belt depending on if I've got aircon or not.

Sorry if this sounds silly but how can I clear this up?

Having spend an afternoon fighting to remove the front bumper to change a rad fan, (I mean could you have put the bolts in a more difficult place to get to!) I noticed I have three rads? Oil, Water. . and errmmm?

Cheers fellows

. . (oh and no, I don't get cold air from the vents when I set it to cold. And the engine has never laboured - like trying to kick-in an aircon compresser)

Most parts suppliers can now identify your car and all its spec from the VIN (chassis) number.

[romie]

hmm, so Citroen said it a XUD9TE

They also said no it doesn't have aircon. . . . . oh. Yes it does.

So it would make sense that it does, although it's never worked and there is no buttons or wording in the car that suggests aircon.

Just a slidey thing that goes from blue to red.

And a fan strength adjustment thing that goes from Auto - fan symbol - max

?

[romie]

Hey Gibbo2286, I'm a thrifty guy after ebay jobbies so need to match engine types as they prob won't know :/

Cheers tho

Do you want to send me your vin number and i`ll see what info i can get .

[romie]

Hi, Birdman

That would be fantastic!!

I'll pm you vin and the engine number from the reg docs.

Please let me know if any further info would be useful.

Many thanks

From your signature (Citroën Xantia 1.9TD Estate 1996) specs should be like:

Aha, thanks very much Birdman! Wealth of information

I don't suppose you know what the characters mean do you? I mean when I search for these belts is shows a number of different variants with different characters after 'XUD9TE'.
XUD9TEF/L for example? Different options?

Or is it that it can only be that number somehow?

Amazing how tedious they can make this simple acquisition

In the 306 world a d8b is a good thing and a (fitted to later 306's) is a bad thing. There was a spate of conrod failures on 97 ish dhy engines, rumours were they had fitted n/a rods to a turbo engine, but there was also a mention of a blocked oil sprayer on one piston/rod.

Not sure if it's when they put cat's on but it's essentially the same engine, both xud9te iirc
