Head bolts & engine code.......

[Biz]

Hello all

Ok, seeing as my engine is a HDZ, does this make a TU1M?
I've seen the TU1M+ also.

Also, Citroen dont seem to recommend replacing the head bolts, have any of you done this to find yourself in the same position only but a few weeks later (eg blown gasket)?

I'd like the car on the road ASAP rather than waiting for a cheap headset (Inc head bolts) if I can get away with not replacing the bolts!

Cheers!

i done a 206 which is the same but i never changed the bolts mate

the official line is that provided the bolts haven't exceeded a set measurement in length then they are OK but i always replace them,its not worth the chance

Sorry to hijack the thread hence the term stretch bolts?:y:

yes citroen don't specifyreplacing the bolts but for the sake of an extra tenner you'll save yourself another headgasket and the ballach of doing it again.

Cheers lads, Yeah I know the idea behind stretch bolts.

As for the engine code, does that ring any bells?

yes HDZ is a 1124cc single point injection engine

Ok cool thanks!

So being a HDZ, does that make it a TU1M?

I've also seen parts applicable to the TU1M+ engine code that are fitted to the same year Saxo's?
