for those of you who dont know, there mounted at the back of the engine not at the front like all the other D/TD's. I've just found this out after looking at some french cooling diagrams and then checking the engine. This means that the one i bought from GSF is utterly useless to me, Jon can you get the discription changed to "not 2.1" as its lightly yo help people in the future. it also looks like FSF dont sell this part so its another thing to orfer from citroen!

Oh yes, for some reason Citroen stuck the thermostat round the back of the head on the 2.1TD, despite the fact that it has a water housing on the front where it could have easily lived.
2.1TD Thermostat 133872 >RP7189, 133871 RP7190>.
What GSF number did you get given? I will email them and ask them to change description on that part.

I think that the reason that they put it in the return pipe rather than the flow, is to stop the perenial problem of air being trapped in the head when refilling the system, thus reducing the risk of a cracked head, and this certainly seems to be the case,as I have never come across a cracked 2.1td head, I have certainly never had one myself, in an XM I mean! and I am on my fourth.

Not at the moment mine is still not fully in the car it was actualy really easy to remove the sump yesterday to clean it out and replace the gasket, (it wasnt bad there were some carbon deposits that were easly removed with diesel. The thermostat came out really easy too, I've desided not to install it to the car until the thermostat is replaced now any way.

Hi jon, this post has been very weird from what i have seen. yesterday when i posted your message wasnt there neather was Peter.N.'s post of the 11 Apr 2005 : 10:03:17 no idea why these weret there when i posted!
any way.
part number for the part i was given. N17624 the discription is Xantia D/TD all that needs to change is 1.9 added before the D/TD (so Xantia 1.9 D/TD). to help the folowing are also things that can be changed/ addded.
thermostat N17632 currently for the XM can be added to the xantia parts list under "Xanita 2.1 TD".
Clutch N18968 XANTIA 2.1 TD can be changed to "XANTIA 2.1TD/2L turbo". (citroen clas these as the same part).
Hope this helps,
Andy
