2009 1.4 VTi (EP3) Engine Rebuild – Service / Workshop Manual Needed

Unread post by navnet »

Hi everyone,
I'm planning a rebuild on a 2009 1.4 VTi engine (PSA/BMW Prince family, EP3). At 150,000 km, the timing chain snapped, so I need to inspect the damage thoroughly. Since the engine will be dismantled, I also want to check the rest of the internals (main/rod bearings, piston rings, etc.).
I have extensive experience in engine mechanics, but this specific PSA/BMW series is new to me.
Does anyone have the factory workshop manual, timing setup instructions, or torque specs for this engine? Any documentation would be much appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

You may find this helpful in identifying parts:

And this for torque information:

Good luck :)
I used to be indecisive, now I'm not so sure!

The engine overhaul method and specifications are included in the "Citroen Servicebox DocBackup 2013" CD which is fairly easy to find online (but painful to install). I don't have time to reformat or publish the data, unless you have some specific brief questions.

I do have access to ServiceBox, of course, but I was hoping for something more in-depth along the lines of a Haynes manual. For now, I managed to score some docs for the Mk2 Mini Cooper since it uses the same PSA/BMW engine family. If you guys have any other suggestions, I'm all ears!
