wicked engine shaking at idle 1.9TD Xantia 1998

[falling-out-with-my-car]

I have found a little 3mm nick in the Auxilary belt on the outer edge I guess this has caused the tension on the belt to wear the pulley/s unevenly and has probably damaged the Idle Damper shock asorber as well.

I want to find the parts myself and in the past I have only replaced the Damper spring, tensioner and a new belt.

If I provide the last eight digits of my Vin Number can anyone look up for me please what I need to replace rollers wise on the path of the Auxilary belt ?

I have a feeling that there may be another tensioner roller at the bottom of the engine the BOL is very confusing for my engine.
It states a manual adjuster and an automatic adjuster for air-con models like mine but I am not sure wether it does actually have a manual tensioner as well as the auto-tensioner at the top of the auxilary belt.
I have until wednesday to sort the parts as she is going to pleiades any help with this would be gratefully recieved.
I wouldnt want to waste Martins time not arriving with the right amount of parts.

Thanks in advance

Nigel.

Nigel, use the 2.1TD image in the BoL to see what the aux belt is like on your Xantia.
You've got the auto tensioner which has the spring behind the hydraulic pump to provide the tension. Then lower down you've got the eccentric tensioner. I found when my eccentric was rumbling I could stop it by spraying the outer face of the eccentric with 3 in 1 grease which made it go silent showing that it was the culprit.

Nigel send me the last 8 digits of your chassis/VIN No. and i will get the OE numbers for you,

im surprised you have not registered on

http://service.citroen.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

your self yet, its not difficult and dont worry what others say regarding a valid VAT No., as you dont need one if you go through the registration as a Jo p*u*b*i*c whooooops i mean public

tried the last 8 again and it worked

here is price and part No.'s of the auto and eccentric tensioners and spring plunger

this is the eccentric
Part Number Description Quantity Price excl. VAT Price incl. VAT Total incl. VAT Selection
0000575129 TENSION ROLLER 82.71 GBP 99.25 GBP 99.25 GBP

this one the auto
0000575130 TENSION ROLLER 99.35 GBP 119.22 GBP 119.22 GBP

plunger
Part Number Description Quantity Price excl. VAT Price incl. VAT Total incl. VAT Selection
0000575181 TENSIONNER 84.26 GBP 101.11 GBP 101.11 GBP

the belt has two options dependent on which brand of AC pimp is fitted

5750 WS
DRIVE BELT ALTERNATEUR
K6 - LE 1726
"WITH SANDEN COMPRESSOR"

5750 YF
K6 - LE 1736
"WITH HARRISSOW COMPRESSOR"

the actual drawing shows two tensioners and one idler,

but in the list of part No.'s it dose not have the idler, so i assume your car aint got the third roller

[falling-out-with-my-car]

Thanks Malcolm,

so I need the spring plunger (as they call it). Idle vibration Damper.
The auto-tensioner that it bolts to at the top of the engine.
The excentric pulley at the bottom and
a belt of course

ahha got my head around it now the characteristics list threw me a bit wow there is a lot of info.

Once again thank you for all of your help Malcolm, Trust Citroen to hide auxilary belt tensioners in the electric componants
section, its almost like they dont want you to find it.
I'm gonna look up the 2cv charachteristics now and see if its there.

regards Nigel.
