All in this topic since Monday 12th @ 09:54, Dave. They were fine for a day when I uploaded them, but now they're all (except the last one -- the cam belt over the backrest of the sun lounger) +90deg... |

No problem, Dave. 'Tis plated metal and looks pretty identical to the original (which seems fine, incidentally). |

321dave wrote ... .....I'm thinking of changing the coolant outlet tank as well. In fact there's two coolant areas 1. The coolant inlet tank I think beside the water pump no4 in the diagram below and 2. The outlet tank right is just inside the timing belt area. I think you had to fit both tanks new recently? But I'm losing a small amount of coolant somewhere in the system at the moment? Haven't found any obvious leaks, so I'm wondering could one of these two areas be a possible cause. Of course it could also be a pipe connection somewhere as well.   Dave, when you're doing the cam belt you may as well replace the outlet tank as it will be more or less fully exposed. It was the first panty-poop my C6 bestowed upon me, a couple of years back, and can be fatal if it pukes the coolant (for which it has a serious propensity!). It was about £130 here in England, before discount, and comes with the new O-rings attached and thermostat installed, ready to go. The inlet tank is a sod of a job, but do-able from under the car and is slightly more accessible with all the other guff gone that you have to remove to do the cam belt. A head torch is pretty essential.
The SoB-inlet-feckin-tank is up there. Somewhere. Lurking... Be ready to wear plenty of residual coolant! *Before removing the alt, be sure to disconnect the battery neg terminal. **Refitting the alt and compressor is a right faff. They're heavy units. If the sleeve nuts are left 'as-is' when removed then refitting trouble is compounded in trying to get them lined up with their mounting points. Be sure to fully tighten the bolts upon refitting in order to pull the sleeve nuts back into the casings and tight up to the mountings. TIP:

Brilliant postings Steve! I think I'm ready now! No parts arrived yet, so hopefully this morning they will arrive. I'm going to get the two coolant tanks as well and put the car of the road for 3days. I'll do as much as I can in that time. I might have a few questions later, I'll get the outlet tanks from The citroen dealer and try get a bit more discount. It's usually 40% cheaper from France. Thanks Steve. | ||

I misquoted the cost of the coolant outlet tank (thermostat housing, really!); I was looking for some photos in one of my early posts' topics and came across what I was looking for - Click Here - The 'tank' was £59, complete. I spent about £130 in total on bits & bobs for the jobs, as I broke a few brittle parts in the execution! |

Hi Steve, I was getting €70 or so from France and €40 for the other tank yesterday, I'm waiting still for the other quote from my local Citroen garage, but it's sure to be more. Belts and pulleys kit cost me €130 same as yours but different supplier, MisterAuto. That should be along tomorrow I'd imagine. Water pump looks fine, and comes with the seal as well. When you say you broke some brittle parts your referring to the little vacuum breather pipes? Thanks Steve.  |

Yes Dave, they were a bit of a problem, but the real heartbreaker was the fuel return pipe ass'y which traverses the 'tank', coming from both banks' injectors and clips into the throttle butterfly Y-split. Please study my post - Click Here - | ||
