Citroën C5 Aircross BlueHdi 1.5 EAT8 - Locking crankshaft

[Nego2403]

Hello

I'm starting to hear noise from my camshaft timing chain. Soon I will need to do the job of upgrading to the 8mm pitch chain and on this occasion I will fit a new timing kit and waterpump.

But my question is how do I lock the crankshaft on this engine with the EAT8 automatic transmission?

Until now I've only had cars with manual transmission and on these there's typically a hole in the bell housing where I could lock the flywheel.

Best regards

Before you do the job yourself I would ask your Citroen dealer to see if Citroen will do the job at no charge to you since this is a known problem. It needs more than just a chain since it also needs new cam shafts and many other parts. Hopefully you have been getting your dealer to do the servicing.

I have changed the oil myself and I don't think that the dealer will accept that. But I'll try to ask them. Yes, I was quoted by the dealer for a kit including a rocker cover, intake and exhaust camshafts, 8mm chain and tensioner. The part number was 16 381 598 80.
