Guys - bought a set of camshaft seals for the rebuild,
36/50-7 which is apparently correct for the car

came to fitting - MUCH too small - need about another 4/5mm each side

the biggest ones I can find are for a c2 which are 38/50-6


The parts are either really scarce or I've got th3e wrong camshafts in the car

Can anyone help and shed some light on the correct cam seal spec?


Thanks in advance

which part is too small? which engine?

Welsh - solved it

tu5j4/jp4s hybrid - didn't note it was a VTS, my bad

Cam seals were the wrong dimensions - cams are fine.
Yet another euro car parts special fitment :')

Just when I spoke to Citroen they weren't amazingly helpful and the guy on the phone got it wrong.
Waited for my man to arrive with vernier calipers, measured it up,
rang citroen back and got hold of someone helpful, 38/50-6 are indeed what I need.

Thanks anyway, was just having a panic, between the supposedly correct fit and the misinformation from citroen.
