I though the plenum chamber was a swirl pot cast into the head of the engine and where the glow plug sits and where the injector, injects?
Whats a plenum chamber then?
You're getting confused vanny. The chamber you're refering to is a swirl chamber (pre-combustion chamber). A plenum chamber is an air chamber (The big long thing on a 16v that the throttle butterflies attach to!Vanny wrote:jeremy wrote:I think that impressive looking black plenum chamber

1) You're never gonna get any 19TD on the J plate. The very first 19TD's were ZX's and on behalf of my mother, I pre-ordered a ZX 19TD Aura in early 1993.When it was announced, it was a pre-order.K plate. It was one of the first 19TD's in the UK. MikeG of this forum still owns that very early car. I add to this that all very early 19TD's were ZX Aura or Advantage, and then the very early K plated Xantia began using this engine as well in late 1993.
2) No mention or record of a BX 19TD exists on citroen-pr.net. I just checked.
3) I own the very last BX brochure just for Estates from 1994, which lists a 16TXS, a 19TXD 1905cc n/a, and then the 1769cc Turbo D. TZD Estate.
I am at a loss as to how you have "owned several" 19TD BX.
I think thats being unfair - there are several members of the forum with quite extensive knowledge of the BX ( and I dont count myself amongst them) some of whom have worked both for Citroen and suppliers, and to date no record of any official 1.9TD BX's exist.bxrider wrote: and obviously jonkw and 1 or 2 others have no clue what they are talking about as 2 of them were definitely a "J" plate.
Welcome from me too.I would follow Stewart's advice and have a good look around the site before rubbishing the people on it.One source of confusion is that the BX was badged as a 1.9 TZD.This was a N/A Diesel with the top spec interiorStewart (oily!) wrote:Wecome to the club Bxrider, I would suggest that you hang around for a while and get to know folks a little before openly stating that they dont know what they are talking about in what is only your second post, there is a lot of knowlege here and your input will be welcome. but dont imagin you are the first to strip and rebuild anything (even blindfold)
