Hi. As the title says, are they x compatible? About 3 months ago I purchased a 2002 hdi 110 and it turns out it's a bad egg lol. Since buying it, it has developed a diesel leak on the hp pump, play in the steering, power steering leak, gearbox leak, turbo on its way out and anti pollution light on. So I've surrendered and but a 2003 hdi 90 with full most, tax till Sept and he said it drives as it should with no rattles or bangs. I am asking this question as I bought a cambelt kit for the 110 but am wondering if I can use it for the 90. Thanks.

Off the top of my head I would have said they were the same, the Haynes manual doesn't differentiate between them but when I had a look on ebay they seem to be engine specific, I can't imagine what the difference is but I'm sure someone will know.

Sorry to hear about your car problems, I have an Hdi estate with 226,000 miles on it and nothing major has been replaced. I did have to replace the HPdiesel pump on my C5 though and got one off ebay for about £50.00. Never known a turbo fail on one either unless its been run out of oil - or its never been changed.

It might be an idea to take the belt off and compare it if you can afford the down time.

ServiceBox shows the same part number for both: 0816 A9

The tensioner is the same: 0829 62 until 08735 and then 0829 59

The idler is the same: 0830 31 until 08735 and then 0830 63

The kits (containing all three parts) also have the same part numbers: 0831 82 (RP 0831 R8) until 08735 amd then 0831 V3

I thought that might be the case but didn't want to be responsible for misleading information.

Ok that's fantastic thanks. Saves me having to buy another. Yeah it's been nothing but trouble. The mot expires on Fri so I figured I'd play it safe and not put it through mot. I'm hoping this new one with only 125,000 on the clock will be a lot more reliable and economical as my current one averages 23mpg through the town lol.
