How to identify what model engine is in your Citroen

[Grand-Picasso-2010]

Hi Everyone

I have Citroen C4 Grand Picasso 2010 Diesel and I have called the Citroen dealer and given them my VIN number and asked if they can tell me what model engine is in my car but they didn't know, i find this hard to believe.

I called Citroen the manufacture and i am still waiting to hear back from them.

Can anyone tell me how do i identify what model engine is in my Citroen C4 Grand Picasso 2010 Diesel, from what i gather it will be one of the 5 model listed below?

Thanks for your help

1.6 16V HDi FAP Diesel DV6C (9HR) 82
2.0 16V HDi FAP Diesel DW10BTED4 (RHJ) 100
2.0 16V HDi FAP Diesel DW10BTED4 (RHR) 100
2.0 16V HDi FAP Diesel DW10CTED4 (RHH) 120
2.0 16V HDi FAP Diesel DW10CTED4 (RHE) 110

Pop your VIN up.

The 3 letter engine code RHR, RHH, 9HR etc correspond to the 6th, 7th & 8th digits of your VIN.

Hi Everyone

Thanks for your help

After taking in all your advice I come to conclusion you can identify your engine model by using one of the following methods

• Speak to Citroen the manufacture or dealer and ask them.
• Use an online VIN decoder.
• Ask someone for help on this forum.
• Enter your VIN into a filter or parts manufacture website in the selector guide, not all will do this but most will provide your engine model.

6.95 For a VIN Decoder ? For a 10.00 donation to this forum you get all the info you would ever need on PSA stuff from all the clever admin and contributors

Just my opinion and not a dig at you.

While you are at it. Could anyone here please identify my car from my VIN number?
I think it is a C3 II VTI 95 hp, but I would like to know more and the online VIN readers I found gave me an error.

With the vti engine you need to keep an eye on the engine oil level using the dipstick. We had a 2010 C3 with the 1.4 vti engine and it used oil, possibly 1 litre every 2000 miles from memory. They are prone to timing chain wear as well, ours needed a new one on about 50k miles.

We can help if you need an original genuine part number, part diagram or factory build sheet and can't already find the info you need on the Forum. For this service, we do ask for a membership upgrade for official parts data as we are in turn charged for this. It will cover you for future part number requests for up to 2 years, so excellent value.

If interested, links are below, then provide your vehicle's VIN in full, which will be masked automatically when you submit your post.

A response to your question by a Forum Admin requiring parts or specific vehicle information requires you to have made a current contribution (Min. £10 / €11.48 or equivalent) to the Forum.

Hello Mark, I have now spent half an hour to make a donation but I can not cope with Pay Pal and their security control. I have a visa credit card and I do not understand why it is so complicated. If there is no other way without pay pal then I give up.

[GiveMeABreak]

Hi, not sure what the issue is, but we obviously can't comment on PayPal's security procedures. We've not had any problems from other members who use it all the time. Of course you can link your Visa card to your PayPal account if you wish - shouldn't take more than a minute to do.
