TheGoose Posted May 14, 2012 Posted May 14, 2012 Hi there, Citroen C5 Exclusive SX 2001 Mk1 2.2 Hdi Does my engine have a Cambelt or Camchain? Silly question I know, as I believed this to be a Cambelt, but when I remove the oil filler cap I can see a Chain! Also does it have one cam (8v) or two cams (16v) Thanks Mike Quote
Randombloke Posted May 14, 2012 Posted May 14, 2012 The 2.2 is 16v and DOHC. One cam is driven by a belt that comes up from the crank pulley. The second cam is driven by the first one via a short chain in the head. Older ones tend to break belts at about 90k. Going to the full 100k might be a mistake. Quote
TheGoose Posted May 15, 2012 Author Posted May 15, 2012 I am actually quite shocked that both cams are not driven by a belt or chain? That is a bit different! Oh well thats the French for you. My Cam Belt and rollers were changed at 73k ish, and the cars got 105k ish at the moment. so I guess we change the belt every 70k miles? Do you know if the chain driving the other cam ever has to be changed or adjusted? Thanks Mike Quote
