XU10J4 Top Mount / Bracket type for 205?

[Jim 1]

Can anyone tell me if a 306 gti-6 top engine mounting bracket (the part that bridges between the rubber mount on top of inner wing to the bracket bolted to the block) is suitable for an XU10J4 in a 205?

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Jim

Well you can use the xu10j4 mount to fit a gti6 engine so I’d say yes

Brilliant!

the one that isnt is a phase2 xsara as Citroen moved the cradle for the bush forwards to accept the more upright ew engine but still used the RFS engine in the vts.

A factory Ew xsara, what a car that would have been

they only put the 138 rfn engine in them, but in theory dropping a 180 in would be straightforward

Not in this country tho?

I think some very late ones did get an EW in this country. The Xsara lasted quite a bit longer than the 306 I think, till 2006.

The XU top mount you can't use, are those from a 406. Although they appear identical, they're a fraction longer and will push the gearbox mount way out of line.
