c5 dmf or not

[holmedog]

Do all c5 1.6 hdi's have dmf or not as when i put my reg into part finders they come up with three part clutch kit.

[RichardW]

Yes. It's still a 3 part clutch - the DMF is on TOP of that....and not cheap at that

[Citroenmad]

As Richard has said, yes it does. Every diesel C5 has a DMF, unfortunately!

And to make matters worse the 1.6hdi is a horrible job.

Worse than the 2.0 16v HDi?

[flying clutchman]

Well generally the 1.6hdi in all the PSA vehicles is the worst to do, however in the C5 you MIGHT be a bit better off because the larger car MIGHT allow you to get the front heatshield off ok. As you can guess I've not actually done one, but I have done the 1.6hdi on Picasso, P307 and they are a real pig. Firstly you cant get the heatshield off. When you have eventually managed to bend, hammer and drag it off you have to undo the turbo downpipe. Then you find you have to remove the downpipe fixing bracket and then you can..... oh no you can't you have to remove the stud that holds the bracket so that you can undo the ONE bellhousing bolt that fits right to left. This bolt doesn't ever go back! Of course the advantage may be that this engine comes mated to a BE4 type gearbox which will drop out easy enough. I really hate these because you feel some idiot designer sitting in his little office decided to put a single bolt round the other way, changing 30 years of design practice. Rant over!

Seems quite involved!

When I had the clutch done on my 2.0HDi 16v the subframe had to come down. Not a job I was wanting to do so it was farmed out.

"When I had the clutch done on my 2.0HDi 16v the subframe had to come down."

Nah, it's possible without. Tiiiiiight though The placing of the PAS return pipe is ludicrous though.....

I'm pretty sure the 90 bhp HDi doesent have a DMF.
