Hdi engine question

[bashbarnard]

The engine in the 306 hdi is it the rhy code? I've got a 307 with a buggered engine and I think that's the same. Just someone with a hdi to confirm the code please

RHY and RHS from the 110 models are interchangeable.

307 90 should indeed have an RHY as will the 306 90.

Some water pipes etc may need changed over but the bare blocks are the same.

My 306 has an RHS engine in it at present whereas the original was an RHY

[bashbarnard]

Thank you very much sir. Makes.my life easier. May buy thus 307 then.

[mcglynn]

Yeah the turbo is different between both cars, and exhaust etc due to this but the bare engine is interchangeable between all 2.0 hdi 8 valve cars.

Just different ancillaries and water pipe routes etc.

[bashbarnard]

Well it's a snapped belt so all I do is swap over bare engine. Everything else is fine

[mcglynn]

Snapped belt would be a case of taking the cam cover off and changing the lifters usually on a hdi aswell as replacing the belt and timing it up.

Usually only the rockers/lifters that break.

Might save you an engine change if you use the head off the new engine.

[bashbarnard]

Might have to look Into it. He was going over 80 at the time though so.i reckon his done valves. I'll whip the cover off though and have a look

[mcglynn]

the valves dont usually get damaged in the hdi tho, rockers give way

Might be lucky bud

I don't really like them tbh mate. Wallow to much far to big and it's an estate as well. Just not a fan. Be a great car for someone else though. 11mm td04 on my current car would be epic though

Yes that's true. Mums got a 307 hdi 2.0 90 brake and it's soo slowww
