Penguin Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 Hi all I am after a ZX or Xantia diesel, but I would like one with a Bosch pump (I have my reasons!). There is a Xantia for sale on eBay which is a fair trot from my home and so not worth visiting just to check the pump type but close enough to collect if I buy it. I have asked the seller to see if they can check what pump type it is but they have told me that there is no name on it but it does have these numbers on one side 6350 011 and 100995N and on the other side 861 3344 then 1 or D 80 (they are unsure on the last bit as they couldn't quite make it out). Can any of the Citroen experts out there help me out as to whether this is a Bosch or Lucas pump? I have tried googling for an answer but came up blank Cheers Penguin Quote
red_dwarfers Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 All Citroen Xantia's come with a bosch pump, which is good!Is it a vegetable oil scenario?CheersKev Quote

THanks for that info. ....and yes, that is exactly the scenario! Quote
red_dwarfers Posted February 22, 2008 Posted February 22, 2008 Be sure to let us know what you do and how you get on with it. Quote
Penguin Posted February 22, 2008 Author Posted February 22, 2008 Just phoned the local Citroen dealers and spoke to their servicing department who told me that not all XUD engined Xantias have Bosch pumps. There are some lucas ones out there as well. So best to check before buying if you are particular which one you want. Quote
Johndouglas Posted February 22, 2008 Posted February 22, 2008 All Citroen Xantia's come with a bosch pump, I had a 2.1 Xantia for seven years and it had a Lucas EPIC pump. Quote
red_dwarfers Posted February 22, 2008 Posted February 22, 2008 Cor, sorry about that Pengiun!So does anyone know if it was specific engines that came with different pumps or weather it was changed mid-production?It would be handy to know, good job you checked. Quote
Penguin Posted February 23, 2008 Author Posted February 23, 2008 Judging by what the guy said on the phone it is a similar situation to the ZX i.e. no rhyme or reason to it! Only way to tell is either to look at the pump (obviously) or ring your local dealer's parts department quoting the chassis number. They should be able to tell from that. Quote
Guest Colin Hunter Posted February 24, 2008 Posted February 24, 2008 As far as I know, Atmo diesels (1.9s) have a lucas pump and Turbo's have Bosch. May be wrong on that but I've had both and that's what they had. Same applies to ZXs to my knowledge. Cheers. hope this helps. Quote
Penguin Posted February 29, 2008 Author Posted February 29, 2008 I'll have to try and test that theory out Colin. Thanks Quote
