C2 Vts rocker cover onto saxo?

29th December 2006, 13:13

Is the C2 vts rocker cover a direct fit for the saxo vts engine?

I know Bic is using it on his engine but i think he has an entirely different head all together?

Help?

29th December 2006, 13:16

am sure its totally different from saxo one

the 8 outer bolts look fine fitment wise but the 6 centre ones look like they wouldn't match up

29th December 2006, 13:26

Thats what i was thinking Sean but are the six cenre ones not to hold the centre strip in place?

Similar to the rigid black plastic bit in the centre of the saxo rocker covers??

Maybe with those six bolts removed it would reveal more bolts underneath which would match up???

29th December 2006, 13:39

yeah having looked at it again i see what you mean. well if the 8 outer bolts go on then i don't see why it wouldn't go on.

29th December 2006, 13:43

I'm sure Simo had one of these at one point... he might be able to help out...

29th December 2006, 13:43

Curiosity killed me, i just rang citroen....

The cost is £39 plus VAT for the whole thing, and they do match up!*

*according to the mong on the other end of the phone

Can someone poke Simo into action, i need help...

29th December 2006, 13:44

i think the saxo ones look better!

just chrome the saxo one you got

29th December 2006, 13:45

Paul did they ask for a chassis number?

lol i hade the same fun trying to order rad hoses for a mk2 vts engine in a mk1 vtr - "erm so you have a mk2 saxo" 'no i have a mk1 with a mk2 engine in it', " you have a mk2 vtr then", ' nope i have...fuck it i'll phone samco'

29th December 2006, 13:58

It will fit. Amazed they sold you one though. I tried getting a sensor from Pug for the saxo and they told me to do one

29th December 2006, 13:59

Some people find it hard to think outside of said box.

29th December 2006, 13:59

it will fit yes, but you need both cam covers and the middle part of the C2.

Thats daft, surely you're a paying customer? Just walk out, jot down a reg off the forecourt and waltz back in

29th December 2006, 14:03

it is, but they want chassis numbers down here. Breakers or CAS for me now

29th December 2006, 14:04

yeah i am sure they fit, here is the parts system pic of the c2 head:

when your down the breakers.. get the chassis numbers of a c2 and a 106gti.. and post them up...

could be handy for a few people in the future...

29th December 2006, 14:13

hmmmm, some guy is telling me that they have dual breather pipes so i't guessing that would be the two nipple efforts mid way down each cover...

29th December 2006, 14:20

SOME GUY? LOL

Yes they have dual breathers
If you look at bics pic thats what the braded hoses are running too
Supposed to be a lot better than the old system of just one breather

29th December 2006, 14:21

they do have dual breathers as the C2 block doesnt have the return to the sump for the breather from the head, dual breathers are better anyways so you can use them for oil catch tank or plumb back in.

Using this peice of logic, how would you go about piping them up?would you run two pipes with oil breathers on each?I know there is absolutley no sense in joining them up as the oil would not breathe, but this diagram demonstartes my mastery of MS Paint...

29th December 2006, 14:33

You could run 2 pipes and I would put them both into an oil catch tank rather than oil breather filters

Or you could get a couple of bits of pip and run them into a T-piece so you just have one outlet coming out the passenger side - same as you would on a normal gti cover

29th December 2006, 14:34

well mr dixon, you run them seperatly or t-piece them together like its on the C2 and then you can run it anywhere you want, its best to put them both to a catch tank.

29th December 2006, 14:36

Deja-vu

29th December 2006, 14:36

....this is going well, i just so happen to have a catch tank in the garage doing sweet FA, so i run them both into the catch tank, then pop a little breather on the third nipple of said tank and Bob's you're uncle...

I have included this helpfull illustaration

29th December 2006, 14:37

That picture is spot on

Except I would suggest to cut down on the amount of piping you need that it would be best to mount the catch tank in the engine bay somewhere

Oh yeah and put the oil feeds int the side and the filter on the top - otherwise when you corner hard the oil will run into the filter

29th December 2006, 14:42

someones stealing my thunder! so yes deja-vu!

29th December 2006, 14:53

cheers men

29th December 2006, 15:08

i know that the Saxo vtr and C2 vtr are the same

29th December 2006, 16:04

anyone know the answer to this yet then? coz i know the c2 vts has bigger valves in it than the saxo vts, hence the further 5bhp the c2 vts has. will it all line up? coz i heard you have to drill some holes? and rethread them? any help appreciated.

isnt the c2 vtr 16v?? so it won't be the same as a saxo vtr being 8v..

29th December 2006, 16:28

What the hell are you guys smoking?

The thread is about vts not vtr - and he's talking about rocker covers not heads so what the hell do valve sizes have to do with a flying turkey?

29th December 2006, 18:05

yeah man misread it oopps ahwel anyone know the work to go into putting a bigger valved C2 vts head onto a saxo vts pm with price and amount of work...thanks Tom

29th December 2006, 19:32

drops straight on, you just need to refit the inlet manifold as stud pattern is different, and choose the correct head gasket for compression ratio and off you go.

29th December 2006, 22:52

yeah they do pauley. i've done a bit work on steves engien and each rocker has a breather, BUT, it goes into 1 then attatches to the inlet by 1 pipe. if you know what i mean? oh, you will need the pipes aswell

30th December 2006, 10:52

i need to get them ordered and fit, what manifold have you used on yours out of interest?

BTB?

easy now, rude boy

30th December 2006, 13:04

yeah, BTB wrapped innit!!!!!

30th December 2006, 17:51

freakin sweet

31st December 2006, 12:41

yes or no
I Want some

if you read the thread, then you would see the answer is yes...

28th May 2007, 19:08

Has anyone on here done this yet?

I want some as i cant seem to re seal my standard rockers, fooking things wont stop leaking

28th May 2007, 23:45

Who's gonna see it anyway. Maybe aswell just leave the standard one on.

29th May 2007, 00:23

If you read what i said you will see that im having problems sealing the standatd covers ^^

Thats why im opting for these!

29th May 2007, 10:41

After reading this thread heres the short answer:

Yes a C2 Rocker cover will fit a Saxo VTS

But you need to look at the breather pipes as the C2 has one per cover where as the Saxo has one

Easy and at under £40 bargin - For all those in the lightening crew the Plastic items should be lighter than the alloy items already on the car. I brought this up a while ago but didnt get this amount of response.

I personally reckon it looks great and is a refreshing look compaired to the standard Saxo item :clapping

29th May 2007, 11:21

Couldn't you just put two of the little oil breather filters on? Or one into the induction kit and then a stand alone oil breather filter?

How do you seal these ones down or do they come with the oil seal attached?

30th May 2007, 22:41

Does anyone have pics to show how badly these rub when fitted to a mk1 VTS?

30th May 2007, 22:43

You can buy the seals as serperate parts from citroen,

On ssc some one has posted pics of how badly it rubs on the mk1 looks cack imo! Puts a big dent in the coil pack cover.

30th May 2007, 23:28

Cheers mate, will have a search over on SSC, looks like i'll have to give them a miss then

31st May 2007, 02:03

I would if you have a mk1 mate.

31st May 2007, 02:25

Have been thinking, do I actually need a coilpack cover? Don't really care how it looks just want the replacable rubber seals and dual breathers.

31st May 2007, 15:28

I would think the coil pack cover is there for a reason...
