XUD9 Citroen ZX 1.9 Diesel Timing Belt Install

In this video i show you how to install and correctly time up the timing belt for my Citroen ZX XUD9 engine.

[@TheToillMainn]

Thanks for sharing this. I am about to change the belt on my Lada Niva 1900D which has the same engine. Didn't know about the timing holes, that's pretty neat! No need to fool around with marking the wheels or the belt.

[@mrgrumpy5116]

thanks for the slow video .. plenty of time to see everything without a lot of pausing

[@TheZXGuy]

More than welcome

Hi ZX. I done timing kit change and coolant pump and liquid, on my Peugeot 309 1.8 diesel. I was watching your video and some othhers and learning. It was very difficult, take almost 8 hours. Job done with engine on vehicle with very litle or no space for movement at all. Thanks

[@TheZXGuy]

Glad you liked the video and yep doing the belt and water pump change with the engine on a stand makes a better video for youtube and makes the job much easier. But I do understand whilst still in the car there is hardly any space to work with.

[@spencereagle1118]

Many thanks for taking the trouble to do this series. Very useful, I've got an xud to sort myself.

[@TheZXGuy]

Your more than welcome I've enjoyed doing it hope my videos help you sort out yours

[@hlund73]

Useful video, I learnt some useful things, like the 3/8 square hole, before tackling mine. However, overtightening fasteners can be worse than not tightening them enough as you risk going past the elastic limit.

[@TheZXGuy]

I'm glad this has been able to help and yep that's exactly why I put thread locker on them because I wanted to make sure they would only come undone when I want them to.

[@MrErik038]

[@TheZXGuy]

[@kuideromar5923]

You work is very clean and clear , thank you and continue. 👍

[@TheZXGuy]

Thank you I'm currently working on a new location to work on cars and make new content its taking longer than I hoped though.

[@Canutox15]

Hello from Argentina! nice video, I own a peugeot 206 with the same engine and i'm going to rebuild it next week so this was helpful. Thank ou very much, cheers :D

[@TheZXGuy]

Hello nico thank you for the support and your kind words I'm guessing you've watched or plan to watch a few more of my videos regarding the engine rebuild. Good on you 👍 and I hope you enjoy the process my friend.

[@simonjohnson565]

Hi, what a great set of videos you have made for the xud9 engine. I have a problem you can hopefully help with, I have this exact engine in my boat, the only difference is the cooling system has been mark used for sea water cooling. Unfortuatly the company who made/converted my engine in the 90’s has gone bust, and I am struggling to get some spare parts. Mostly because of the age and the fact I don’t have a car ref/model the engine is exactly from. You wouldn’t know where I could get/or just part numbers for the following. 1. The pulley/gear wheel for the fuel injection pump. 2. The oil filler reservoir/tube. (The plastic tube) above the starter motor.

[@VonBugle]

A trip to a scrap yard should get you the parts you need.

[@jerryhaggett2391]

Interesting info hope my dw8 motor is similar timed up ie tdc.with crank locked and lucas pump to time up

[@erhanturan6808]

Thank you 👍

[@TheZXGuy]

You are welcome

[@riccardodefina9551]

Very useful

[@LMSYHD]

hello friend i have a suzuki samurai 1.9 td it has the xud9 sd engine i think they are the same i rebuilded the diesel pump and put it back on and now it wont start could you give me some advice on what to do ive checked the timing and everything and still nothing it doesnt send diesel to the injectors correctly

[@Edie_Fox]

Please could you save me some time for when my new purchase arrives….☺️ Where will I find the engine number please? Is it easily visible/accessible? Many thanks. (1993 1.9D)

[@TheTorana202]

Hello, I am in Australia and have a 1999 Tata Telcoline ute. The Tata uses a copy of the Peugeot 1.9 XUD bored out to 2.0L. Have you had much experience tweaking the fuel pump? I have a 300 TDi Land Rover and tweaking the pump on that made a huge difference... just wondering if the peugeot wakes up alot with pump adjustments? Thanks

[@TheZXGuy]

Hello I haven't done any tweaking to my fuel pump based on i don't really want to mess with it due to having very little knowledge and I have to keep the car going as my daily driver at the moment.

[@benkr5870]

hey nice video ! is it a 8mm drill for the flywheel ?

[@turckx8803]

Very good work!! Perfect!!

[@TheZXGuy]

Thank you

Hello, I am in Tampa, Fl, I have a bobcat 751 with XUD9 engine. I have problems with the injection pump and in this area no one wants to work with this type of pump, I heard in one of the videos you uploaded, changing lucas for bosch pump, what kind of pump would you recommend, thank you

[@TheZXGuy]

Hello in regards to this I am currently running the lucas pump with no problems because the bosch pump that I acquired was broken and I can't afford to get it sorted just yet. The only reason i was planning to change to the bosch pump is because I wanted to learn how to adjust it for slightly more power. It's also rumoured that the bosch runs better than the lucas on veg oil.

[@bushratbeachbum]

Do the shaft seals come in the kit you used? Where online is best to find the kit? Im overseas and have to order online as passenger diesels are not common here!

[@TheZXGuy]

Yep I got the shaft seals as part of a full engine rebuild kit if it helps i will leave the link to what I bought below www.ebay.co.uk/itm/332812621632 I am unable to help more than that I'm sorry possible idea is inner and outer diameter of shafts could be used to maybe cross reference to a compatible part maybe

[@thedawgsarch]

Can you tell me if this is a interference engine or non-interference engine? Most timing belts are non- interference I just wanted to know because i'm looking at a Toro mower that has one of these.

[@TheZXGuy]

I am sorry I can't give a definite answer to this but what I will say from having this engine apart and being able to see the distance of travel from the valves I would say this is an interference engine and in the result of the timing belt breaking would cause a valve to bend. I hope this helps.

[@thedawgsarch]

@@TheZXGuy it did sir. I found out that it is in fact an interference engine.

[@TheZXGuy]

Yep after commenting I decided to research this myself from what I found they break in quite a bad way.

[@djordjeradevic3307]

Hi mate. I just bought same Gates timing belt kit for my Peugeot 309 1.8 diesel. I am very dissapointed because roller and tensioner are made in China!? Very, very dissapionting from Gates :( Do you think it is safe for mounting in car? What is your experience?

[@TheZXGuy]

Hello mate I have only ever bought Gates or Drayco timing belt kits and never had any issues with either of them. But I tend to buy all my really important parts from a trusted parts shop for better warranty aspects anyway.

[@djordjeradevic3307]

@@TheZXGuy I think that trusted parts shop will not give you any warranty if something goes wrong, because you are not authorized mechanic for this job. I think it is not problem seller but supplyer, in this case Gates. They put Chinese parts in their kits. If you put serial number from your roller or tensioner in Google, you will see that they are manufactured by Chinese factory Tinafor !!???? never heard! Shame on Gates. I will never, ever by any Gates product again. Do you have any problem with this kit, is it noisy or something else?

[@TheZXGuy]

Warranty is void if believed incorrect fitment is the cause of the failure. So as a result even mainstream garages can have the warranty voided it's got nothing to do with qualifications. But like I said I've never had a problem with these kits and done thousands of miles on these kits even the manufacturers and garage use Gates kits so they can't be that bad. China does sometimes make good product not just rubbish product.

[@mohamedbouti1944]

Good

[@jerrytugable]

Thanks ZX Guy. It is a bit harder when the XUD9 is crammed into a Peugeot 205, there's hardly room to get your fingers in!

[@user-zt4ry9hm9u]

Excellent very clear instructional video. Thank you.

[@TheZXGuy]

Glad it helped you

[@chybatojeszczeja278]

Hi, thanks for the video. One advice, you shouldn't tighten bolt on crankshaft (50° angle) with dynamometer. You could destroy it like this. I bet it needs calibration after that. Greetings from Poland.

[@guezbarhassan8475]

Thank you for this film i want to say that is easy to make it motor out of the car and it's difficult in the car since yesterday i'm trying to change timing belt it's difficult lot of work thanks for all Hassan from France

[@TheZXGuy]

Glad it helped

[@danielcarden8212]

I have a Bobcat 751 skid steer with the XUD9 in it. I need to have the injector pump rebuilt (its leaking). What tool to you use to remove the pump and also what timing tools are needed.??

[@TheZXGuy]

Hello a pretty basic toolkit is all that's needed to undo this lot and remove the pump. The pump is held in place with 4 x 13mm nuts and if I remember correctly the nut on the cam is a 19mm all the cover bolts are 10mm with 1 sneaky 11mm bolt on the back of the engine. As for timing the top cam and fuel pump cam should line up with 3 bolt holes 2 on the pump and 1 on the top cam you can screw a bolt that threads nicely into these to lock them into place and I used a 6mm drill bit to lock the flywheel into location the hole for this is behind the starter motor.

[@paulzondervan9502]

Very clear explanation, good visibilty with the engine out of the car. Thanks for making it, great help!

[@TheZXGuy]

Glad it helped!

[@VitorSP90]

Hi, thanks for this great and useful video! I have this engine (XUD9SD) on my Suzuki Vitara and it's great engine. It's simple mechanics but very reliable if maintained well. Just be careful you forced the torque wrench too much beyond the click. (12:57). I'm affraid you might decalibrate your wrench. Apart from that you did a great job!

[@TheZXGuy]

I'm glad you found it useful they are a great engine I didn't realise I did that with the torque wrench whoops thanks for the heads up hope you have a good new year

[@ianvicedomini2648]

I can't believe how close it's getting to that final installation. Great video chap

[@TheZXGuy]

Thank you for your support getting closer by the day now
