Engine Variants

[shortcut]

Hi All, Does anybody know the differance between citroen 2.2hdi engines DC4HX*/DE4HXG AND 10DZ12/PSAHX.

The reason im asking is because i need to change my engine ( post Piston protrution )my car is a 04 and the replacement engine is from a 02 or 03 and im not sure if i can just swap them over.

Also i have a 6 speed gear box and the replacement engine has a 5 speed gearbox what sort or problems is this going to bring.

Many thanks Stuart

If you look at your Chassis number you will see something similar to this - VF7 ?? 4HX* 12345678

 

VF7 = CITROEN

?? = MODEL AND BODY STYLE

4HX = 2.2 HDI

* = EMISSIONS LEVELS

AND THE LAST BIT IS THE CHASSIS NUMBER

 

My recomendation would be to only replace a Citroen engine with another from the same model and year, externally a lot of these engines look the same but from experience i can tell you that inlet and exhaust valves are likely to be a differnet size, camshafts have difrent cam timing and in some instances where emissions controls use drillings within the head to funtion you find they just dont exist.

 

If you do proceed with this method the best way of finding if the block/cylinderhead are the same would be to take your chassis number to you Citroen dealer and ask them to price it up and give you the part number.......then find the chassis number from the scrap vehicle and do the same.....if the numbers are the same your in luck, but you will have to swap over all mounting brackets, manifolds etc.

 

If you are offered another engine that turns out to have a different part number to the one you require i would avoid it like the plague...it will end in tears
