1.5 BlueHDi engine timing chain information.

PSA provide the correct kits as highlighted in this thread earlier on, which show you what is involved and includes the exhaust valves etc. All C5 Aircrosses prior to the very latest will have the 7MM chain unless an intervention has already been made and this can be determined from the part / sticker info also discussed in the same article.

Hi, sorry if I'm completely off topic, i just joined this forum for an information...
I was a proud owner of a yellow C4 Cactus 2015 1.560bluhdi, and in many years i never had an issue. Then i gave it as px for a more recent Astra and I'm still regretting it. Now i would like to get a c5 aircross but after seeing what happened with so many owners I'd say I'm too scared, i also like the c3 aircross, but the 1.5 diesel is something i would like to avoid. I'd be grateful if you can tell me whether the old 1.560 is affected by the camshaft drive chain problem that basically cause the engine to blow up...
Thanks...

Hi everyone,

I just purchased a Berlingo bluehdi 100, which was first registered in August 2021.
Thus I am of course interested which chain is fitted.

Could you also be so kind and check?

Thank you

edit: pardon, I just realized this is an aircross forum. Anyway, maybe it is possible to identify which chain is fitted in my berlingo?
