Does anybody know if the engine mounts on the 90 degree V6 are the same as the 60 degree V6. I have a V6 24v Citroen XM (1991 original 200bhp version - 90 degree V6), and suspect it to have a leaky Head Gasket, I have been offered a 60 degree V6 24v out of a 406. Would it be a straight forward job to fit it? The one from the 406 is likely to be 210bhp isn't it?
Regards
David.

David, just as a matter of interest, some info on the 210bhp V6 can be found at http://www.citroenet.org.uk/html/c/c5tech2.html. Sorry, I don't know how to post this address so that you can just click on it.

I think you'll find the black cover with silver ribbing was fitted on the 90 deg V6. My car has the silver cover with the three false inlets which don't lead anywhere and the "chrome" lettering "V624". It is unfortunately the 194 (195? whatever!)bhp version. On another track, references to knock preventers retarding the igition persuaded me to stick a tankful of expensive jungle juice into my car. I've just completed a fastish 200 mile trip over single carriageway roads with plenty of full throttle overtaking (I believe in spending the minimum time on the wrong side of the road)and about 15 miles town work. The result? no noticeable difference in performance and fuel consumption unchanged at 24 mpg overall. So it's back to regular. Tonyg, how does that compare with your car? Incidentally., I don't think Peugeot allowed Citroen to fit the 210 bhp engine - typical big brother!
