My car needed a new inferior cooling pipe that connects the engine to the radiator.
The bad news is that Citroën does not have anymore any of the cooling pipes for sale, so i needed to find an alternative.
The good news is that i have found a very simillar pipe that feets the 16v engine and only needs some simple mods.
The pipe is the one from the BX 1.9D and the part number is: 95640596
It is necessary to cut about 1cm in the point number 1.
In the point number 2 should be removed all the excessive pipe under the circle.
Than, to connect the rest of pipe from the point number 2 to the pipe that comes from the top i have used some inox pipe.
And thats it. I hope the info will be usefull to all the BX 16v drivers
Some pictures of the final result in my car:

The Turbo Diesel model is not the same. It does not have that "T" with that exit.ollie wrote:And just for good measure note the Gates logo! - its the one GSF sell for the TD / D. and if anyone wants the pipe with the section allready removed I have a brand new one I needed to get the small bend up for another model year TD
