Tandremskift

[MariasC1Dyt]

Hej.
Hvor tit skal man skifte tandrem på en C1 1,2 ?
Min er fra 2017 og har kørt 38000. Alle service overholdt. Citroen siger efter 5 år - altså nu, og vil have 10k for det.
Nogle der har gode råd ?

5 år eller 100.000 km. Den er særdeles besværlig at skifte, da tandremmen er i olie. Hvis du har lidt teknisk snilde, og viden om motorer, så burde du godt kunne klare det. Jeg gjorde det for nylig i min indkørsel, det tog mig 8 timer at lave.

Du kan tjekke tandremmen, hvis du tager oliepåfyldningslåget af. Hvis du tydeligt kan se at der er revner i tandremmen eller at tandremmen er ru, så burde du skifte den.

Hvis du bestemmer dig for at du selv vil lave det, så er der noget specialværktøj man skal bruge til at låse knasterne og krumtappen. Jeg har det liggende, hvis det skulle være.

There are some good articles on youtube about changing the timing belt. The tools for locking the camshafts and fitting the water pump belt can be bought cheaply in Poland and England (approx. 55-60€).
The biggest work is to dismantle everything to be able to lock the camshafts.

The most important thing is to always use only the engine oil prescribed by PSA and more frequent oil changes are also beneficial.

It is even better not only to change the timing belt, but also to remove the oil pan and clean the oil pump strainer. Most engines die because the abrasion of the timing belt clogs the oil pump and then the oil pressure is missing.

I can share the YouTube posts etc. on request.

Greetings Wolfgang

Yes I forgot to mention the oil pan. I actually did that too when I changed the timing belt. Luckily there was almost no debris in the strainer. The worst part was removing the oil pan as the RTV was holding it really good. I used a putty knife and carefully cut the RTV without bending the oil pan or scratching the mating surface of the engine block.
