Haynes error - HDi Headbolt torque error
#1
This is very important information for anybody thinking of doing a headgasket on the hdi engine, particularly if using Haynes as a guide:

Haynes specifies the 3-stage tightening for the headbolts as follows - 20nm, 60nm, 270*. The last figure SHOULD be 2 x 110*, NOT 270*. The other two figures are correct.

Could a mod sticky this please.

I reckon I did well to get mine through 180 without shearing them tbh. Rofl

You can't be the first to use Haynes torques for the headbolts, how has no-one noticed this before!? Confused

I suspect the error stems from some of the XU engines that do have a 270 degree tightening sequence on the headbolts.

(yes, it's bloody tight and you wince at the loading on the 20+ year old alloy block threads when you're tightening them!)

Pretty sure XUDs are 20, 60 and then 220 degrees.

Stuck. Wonder how many people have snapped bolts in the block or taken the threads out before lol

110 is far too loose for a diesel head, from checking my notes its 40, 60 then 220 degrees and these links back it up, including one from Citroen themselves. 110 will lead to hg failure very quickly! (6 da.Nm is about 45lbs/ft)

Remember they're stretch bolts...

I've always done my bolts to 40, 60, 220* - well, 40, 60, 90*, 90*, 45* (ish).

Although I've had problems lifting the cylinder head, I wouldn't attribute that to them not being tight enough... And they're the same M12x1.25 10.9 grade bolt.

Where did you get the 110* figure from?

Lol, the Peugeot service guide says even less than Autodata.
Pre 2 da Nm
1st Tightening 6da Nm
1st and only Angular 180 degrees.

Should it be just 220, or 2 x 110?

There seems to be a lot of confusion on this last point.

My haynes says 20nm, 60nm 220 degrees.

2 x 110 is from autodata. Theoretically, if the bolts are at the point of stretching then it doesn't really matter, 220 in one go will probably be easier tbh. Just make sure you lube the threads first, i forgot lol.

What is the correct tightening torque for the cam shaft pulley as I've seen several come loose on engines that were rebuilt to haynes torques

I did it in one go but had a problem with the rear far right hand bolt, the socket slipped damaging the head, I'd only done it around 120-150 degrees, I decided to leave it as is so will just have to wait and see if it causes a problem.

I used to always do my XUD bolts to 270 degrees for good measure haha the bolts are f*cking horrendous and never came out stretched. But as said 220 is what they're supposed to be.

Degrees, you'll need an angle gauge.
