Weird Parts find me more like.
Anyway, I have to be honest and say that GSF don't really do much that can help you here. This in part due to the fact that Activa V6 is not UK market.
Timing Belt V6 ES9J4 GSF ref T13123 £37.50 + Vat
Thats about it!!![^]
Head gasket Front >RP7601
Citroen 0209V2 (std)
02090Q (repair)
Head gasket Rear >RP7601
Citroen 0209V3 (std)
02090R (repair)
Head bolt Citroen 020486
Water Pump Cit 1201C7 plus gasket 1206A7
Aircon drivebelt 5750T0 (length 1622mm)
Activa V6 Front spheres 5271C7
Engine mounts look like a nightmare, and they are different between manual and auto cars. Have a look here to get an idea http://www2.citroen-pr.net/pr_image/K3480300.GIF

Theres a couple of us on here with access to "citroen-pr.net", unfortunately you have to get a user name and login from a Citroen dealer. (Within reason) its not a hassle to look parts up for you. There is not a CD you can obtain, its all on-line, if you get real friendly with a Cit dealer as a Trade customer then you get a Login and Password.
Citroen are much btter about this than Peugeot who actually make you pay to look up parts on their on-line microfiche.

I've got a login for PR-net as well, I'm happy to look anything up for people. Nice trick (I see you've noticed this as well Jon) is you can link to the diagrams so anyone can view them without logging in.
If you speak to the parts manager at your local dealership nicely and tell him what you're doing and that you'll be buying loads of parts from him, he may well give you a login.

For interest, if you edit the address given by altering the digits at the end you can display many more pages. eg http://www2.citroen-pr.net/pr_image/K3480130.GIF
Simply by trying random numbers you will find spurious pages which will display.
Of course, if someone with authorised access was to divulge the kind of sequence that the numbers have then someone could try each code in turn and download each image in turn and compile into a manual.
Do we have any interested parties prepared to divulge the approximate order/sequence of the page codes( eg K3480300, k3480125 etc etc )?
cheers

You can register on the site itself.
I did on Friday and had a login issued on the same day, it was so quick that I thought it was an automated process...

I would say that its best that if anyone wants to use PR-net they should either approach their local dealer, or indeed apply for an on-line login at www.citroen-pr-net. I certainly don't approve of random image cracking and the like.
Its a fantastic facility, and I would hate for it to be withdrawn if Citroen suspect that its being abused.
You have to remember that Peugeot charge you for accessing this sort of information on-line, and Renault don't offer anythig like it. Instead they run a CD rom dealer system which will only play on a MAC and the CD's are very hard to get hold of.Read, impossible. Likewise, other manufacturers such as Saab make it nigh on impossible to get hold of schematic diagrams and part numbers for anything 1995 onwards.
For those that don't know about citroen-pr.net its basically the Citroen dealer Microfiche from BX onwards, online. You can search on simple phrases such as "clutch", " fuel" or " engine" and you get pictures plus the part numbers and prices. The search may further be refined by entering the chassis or RP number of the vehicle.

Those of any use? If you want a part number and price say which number it is.

Guys,
I have a couple of legit reasons to get this login access. It isn't absolutely clear on the website registration if you have to get the login from the local dealer you select...or does it get e-mailed to you?
Thanks,
David
