Relay 2.2 Engine

[craigschwartz]

Hi 

 

Not sure if this is the right place to post this.

 

I have a Citroen Relay 2009 with the 2.2 engine. It has a cracked piston.

 

I would like to replace the engine, but there are a lot of cowboys out there trying to sell me a reconditioned engine that they say they will only fit.

 

Has anyone had this piston problem before? and if so can you point me in the right direction for a new engine please.

 

Thanks

The problem your having is very common with the 2,2 engine on the relay,s normaly it ends up throwing the conrod through the side of the enginge. Depending on your budget and how long ur keeping the van... if your van has low mileage on it then consider just replacing the piston (is it no 3 piston). As regards replacing the whole engine then unless you use the dealers (to get a waranty on the job) then your down to either word of mouth to find a good supplier or just pure pot luck when buying it

Thanks for your help. A new engine from the agents is £6500. Will have to think about what to do.
