I think it's a low torque, about 12lb / ft or some such, I've always just done them up tight! Never had a problem yet. The only cam caps I've ever...

Me too, though some stereos draw enough current to flatten the battery in a couple of days when on standby. Best to check it and listen for a slow...

Def a Saxo pump - it was a couple of years ago though. I'm sure I found a post on the Saxo list on Yahoo about doing it - but didn't turn it up on a...

My TZD has only 82k on the clock (plus a full citroen service histroy... :-)). The message is clear from all and sundry - I must make sure the system...
This Saturday, I changed the cam-belt, changed the oil/filter, drained the coolant, and refilled with new. I did my best to bleed the cooling system...

Hopefully u can find the problem & get it sorted, nothing like the satisfaction of fixing something yourself rather than paying a garage.
