Hey everybody,
I've recently bought a Citroen BX TGD (Type II) and I'm looking for a good service manual. Is there a specific manual I should buy or not buy?
My eye has fallen on different Haynes manuals specifically:
BX 1983-1994
Hatchback & Estate (inc GTi & 16 valve)
Petrol: 1.4 litre (1360cc), 1.6 litre (1580cc) & 1.9 litre (1905 cc)
NOT: 4x4

in combination with:
1.7 & 1.9 litre Diesel engine 1984-1996
1.7 litre (1769cc) & 1.9 litre (1905cc) incl. turbo-Diesel, in conjunction with the Visa/C15 (manual HAY-0620) and the BX (manual HAY-0908)
cover: http://www.citroenz.nl/1379.jpg
I would rather buy one manual to prevent loosing oversight. I'm a novice mechanic and I'd like to fix up some hydrolic issues and maybe change some belts.
Thank you in advance,
Tom Jansen

IMHO you need the brown BX one not the blue one its one you dont have listed, i have all 3 manuals if you want one i'm sure i can let you have one for £2 each for the BX ones if your interested.

I agree brown manual with supplements to 1994 is the best, grey edition of diesel book is better than later blue one (but not much).
I found both in charity shops - after I'd bought new. you may find them on E-Bay - but be careful that the brown one covers the right age of car for you.

Thank you for the prompt replies!
My BX has ORGA #5463. That makes october 1991.
According to your replies, I need the brown manual for that make and date. It is not quite clear to me however if I still need a supplement diesel guide...
Thanks again for the replies!

Yes you will need the suppliment for the Diesel lump. I have the Brown Hanynes and it only covers the petrol engined ones. I have just bought a diesel engine suppliment off eBay UK for 2GBP (about 4 Euro).
I have a 1.7 TZD for my sins.
