Can any body else confirm that there are 5 fixing points,the 4 10 mm nuts,by the injectors and the 13 mm set screw on the side bracket.I pride myself on being "handy" with a hammer and prisy things like crow bars,but this thing defies my best efforts.Any suggestions on how to get it off in 1 piece,gratefully accepted.BTW,I have no access to a blow torch and the like
There are two brackets that hold the manifold in place, one is by the throttle body, and the other is near the hydraulic pump, both are not easily to see and consequently easily missed if your not familiar with this engine.
I checked the brackets,the one under the throttle body had already been removed.I've had another go with my trusty pole and bent it.I think you can safely say that the manifold is not coming off

I'll pop down when I can.
did you manage to pop in and take a look for the engine ????
no luck at PR. They did have a XU9J2, from a PUg they tell me, although it's obviousley a BX lump, but it got skipped a couple of days after I was last there...
Smokes lots, because enough's enough already!
Far too many BX's, a bus, an ambulance a few trucks, not enough time and never enough cash...
Dunno if I have missed something here but there are two 6mm allen head bolts holding the manifold on as well. Their recesses get filled with debris. Maybe they've been overlooked ???
The Joy of BX with just one Citroën BX to my name now. Will I sing Bye Bye to my GTI or will it be Till death us do part.

got sick of waiting for a message so give them a ring just. they do indeed have the manifold but they want £45 without postage and with me not being sure on if my fuel rail from a 205 will fit they want another £25 quid for that ouch thats fkin rediculous if i cant find a cheap manifold im just going to port my head to fit my spare 205 gti manifold just wanted to keep it standard lookin damn n blast.
