Can anyone tell me if the 1.8 diesel out of the Peugeot 205 is the same engine as the 1.9 diesel engine. Is the marinising gear interchangeable between both engines?

I've seen and worked on both engines. They appeared to be the same other than slight differences (in my case) with the vacuum pump, one had a pulley and external pump and the other an integral pump on the camshaft cover. It would have been easy to exchange the pumps. They are known generically as XUD engines they have other numbers following the "XUD" which distinguish them. There is also a Turbo version of the engine. In all cases to the best of my knowledge the major fitments were all the same basic attachment. Suggest you post the query on a Peugeot forum to confirm.

I have never worked on a 1.8 but I marinised a pair of 1.9's last winter and have loads of piccies if they are any use to you, I believe the 1.9 was the stonger engine, there should be plenty about.
The turbo versions have lower compression, piston cooling nozzles and a turbo oil feed but are the same other than that.
Piccies are at www.leomagill.co.uk under the 'project puggit' button.
Edit to add: My haynes manual only covers the xud 1.7 & 1.9 so I guess there are quite a few differences with the 1.8.

I think you need a medal for the work you're doing.
I've got Haynes manuals for both I think

Sorry to Fred Drift but good website and fascinating pictures. Really enjoyed the Boston to Torksey. I did that aged 14 with my parents in their then newly acquired Rampart 31. How many hours to do the engines?

Can I suggest NOT using the 1.9 turbo if you can avoid it?
I did a lot of research into this engine when looking for a replacement vehicle recently, and it would appear that there have been a lot of catastrophic failures of (exclusively) the turbo version. The standard 1.9 diesel however is reckoned to be one of the most reliable and rugged ever produced.

TillerGirl:How many hours to do the engines? don't know as I didn't dare keep a tally, it seemed forever in a cold shed though, luckily a lot of it was done at work where it's warmer, once the plan of action was hatched over beer it didn't realy take that much to do the jobs, it was trying not to have to buy 'marinised' parts that took the time.
It's certainly a lot quieter and smoother than old bmc 2.5's.
Webcraft: Don't know about the turbo's but as long as the cambelt is looked after and temperature kept in check the 1.9 non-turbo's are bullet proof.

Re: Peugeot 1.8d & 1.9d
We run 3 Peugeot 306's with the 1.9 turbo diesel engine.
One has done 130,000 miles, another 180,000 miles, both with no head problems at all. The other one had a replacement engine (second hand 35,000 miles) at 100,000 miles and has now done 186,000 miles, so the engine has done 121,000 miles with no problems. The gearbox has now done 186,000 miles and the gear stick is a bit wobbly, but it is driven by a 25 year old son.
I do accept that the problem you sometime find when people are selling these cars is a head gasket gone. I often put this down to the antifreeze not being changed leading to corrosion of the head. Changing/skimming a head is an easy job to do.
I would not hesitate to use one of these engines. The cars run for ever, have low insurance group and do over 55mpg. They can be quick as well if you sacrifice some fuel.

[/ QUOTE ] The other major issue with the cooling on 306's is making sure that the cooling system is properly bled and filled, cause of many a problem.

Its only the April 1997 to April 1998 DHY XUD9TE engines that fail - but when they do they do so spectacularly, chucking a conrod through the side of the block.

Nothing wrong
with turbocharged 1.9, except if you overheated it the head distorted - easy job to rectify but prevention best by making sure coolant level kept up.
I had two which did in excess of 200K miles.
Block and head same on both 1.9 and 1.8 bore/stroke change.

Re: Peugeot 1.8d & 1.9d
I understand that 'throwing a leg out of bed' occurred in engines when the oil change was extended from 6000 miles to 12000 miles. With my 1998 306 I reverted to 6000 mile oil changes and never had any problems.That car, in the hands of a friend, has now done about 130000 miles.
