Thanks Alasdair.

Now I know exactly how much cunifer I need for the whole braking system. That’s that done in one fell swoop.

Interesting, or strange rather, how Items 5 and 6 are shown as 4.75mm diameter. Wonder if it’s a typo and should be 4.5mm?

............yes I would think a typo.

Also worth checking that "coils" are measured in total amount of pipe or just length end to end across a coil

Coils are included in total length. That became self evident when I replaced Item 8 which is 2323mm. Coil itself adds 1000mm to the millimetre…

So do you need my intervention or not now Roger or are you using that third party data link, please let me know as it's a fair bit to do otherwise?

Ideally, yes please.

If you can have a cursory glance at the fiche SF provided about and if the official Citroen Fiche shows Items 5 and 6 at 4.75mm. diameter then I do not need that fiche it is matches the Official one.

However, if you look back at the last post on page 6 (along with the first post on Page 7), there are links to the other fiches you previously provided. It should become clear what I am doing.

Can you not simply screenshot the fiche info as Alasdair did in that one from the hooky site or does the breach copyright in some way?

And besides that link is for an HDi 90... :?

That site is not "hooky", by law they have to provide such info in those countries that host them.....BUT, as said, I do not think it is the most up-to date

It isn't up to date as you say Alasdair and you'll find by that I mean at least 8-9 years.... the data is from an old Offline database and you'll see that is not officially sanctioned, probably not technically legal either. There are NO new vehicles from about 2013-14. So somebody has hashed together the data from the offline system.

I've seen this on a few sites, that have the identical out of date offline data an they will never provide anything newer than this as they would never be granted access to it by PSA. Everyone has to pay for the data from PSA, including the dealerships.

Also, they don't want the reliability over the vast miles they have to drive using cheap fuel...
