XID diesel motor?

Hi,

Can anyone recommend a place I may buy an XID diesel motor for my 304 in
Europe?

This is the same motor as fitted to 77-82 305.
I am in Greece.

regards,

was fitted to a few early 305's dont know if this is any help as i can see
no one else has replied yet and its been a while since you posted
basically was a chain driven version of the xud so i'm not sure if the two
are interchangable
GT may be more use than me on this one if you're still stuck

 

Hi Jeff,

I'm coming late once again :-(

No clue, as I've never seen an XID. I know it's the engine fitted on Mk1
305s, as 82- models used the XUD. They could be slightly different, as the
205 had to be modded (+1 or 2cm on front wheels gap) to fit the XUD in - may
well explain why there isn't that much room in 205s/309s XU/XUD powered
engine bay.
I went out to the Web to find some data, not found much, but the XID is a
1548cc engine, I guess it's really not only a chain-driven XUD. Moreover the
XUD was a "high-tech" engine, when it was released in 1980 (as the XU was).

 

The XID is a chain driven engine with the gearbox under the engine.
The engine cooling fan was diven off the crankshaft pulley via a belt
the did a 90 degree turn via two jockey wheels. Really weird to look
at, but easy to change once you've done a couple. The clutch was a bit
of a pain to do, and expensive as it came with the flywheel as I
recall. There was a petrol version, which was slightly more common in
the UK.
