4.1.2. Fuel consumption As a baseline, you can use the following values to calculate your fuel consumption. Road : 13L/100km Stage – Tarmac : 56L/100km Stage – Gravel : 60L/100km These values depend on the driving style, the profile of the roads as well as the average speed of the rally, it will be necessary thereafter to calculate your own consumption using data acquisitions.
4.2.2. Engine start Please find below the running procedure of your 208 Rally4 once all levels have been checked. Engine crank procedure to prime oil pressure: This procedure needs to carry out after every oil change or after a period of 2h without running.
4.3. ENGINE IDENTIFICATION The engine serial number is indicated on a plate positioned on the rocker cover. 4.4. FLUIDS Engine oil: TOTAL Quartz INEO FIRST 0W30, reference PS97727A10 Oil quantity: 3,5 L +1,5 L (with oil radiator / circuit) We advise to control the oil level at every service. The oil quantity is around 3,5L plus 1,5L in the cooling circuit.
4.5. ACCESSORIES The engine is fitted with two accessory belts: One belt drives the alternator and the steering pump. The tension is managed by using a dynamic tensioner roller (counter clockwise to loosen the belt). A stretchy water pump belt. The tension is automatically set by the belt's elasticity. The use of the serial tool is strongly advised for its installation.
4.6. SEALS Every engine sold by Peugeot Citroën Racing Shop is sealed. One seal is fitted on the rocker cover while another one is fitted on the oil sump. The turbos sold by Peugeot Citroën Racing Shop are also fitted with a Peugeot Sport seal. This seal is mandatory to participate to the 208 Rally Cup but is not recognized for FIA rallies.
B00 – COOLING 5.1. WATER CIRCUIT This car has two water circuits, one for the water radiator equipped with a mechanical thermostat. The thermostat opens completely at 87 ° C, so there is no need to mask the water radiator. At the same time, a second circuit includes the gearbox exchanger and the cockpit heating, which is not fitted with a thermostat and is therefore always open.
Page 17
Attention: When disassembling the water hose from the engine to the gearbox exchanger, it is possible that the water flange remains in the hose. It is imperative to replace the gauge in the upper oil plate before reassembling the hose. Upper oil plate Water flange Cooling circuit:...
5.2. TURBOCHARGING CIRCUIT The air to air intercooler is located on the front face above the water radiator. P2P / T2P Sensor Turbo Outlet Engine Intake To obtain the maximum efficiency, it is important to check the good condition as well as the good installation of the air ducts.
5.3. ENGINE OIL COOLING An oil radiator is fitted at the front right corner of the 208 Rally4 front face. If the oil temperature drops below 70°C (long road sections or cold rallies), it might be necessary to mask the radiator with tape (ex : reinforced tape). For optimal operation, the engine oil temperature must remain between 95°C and 125 °C.
The 208 Rally4 is fitted with the Sadev ST82LW 5 speed gearbox. 6.1.1. Gear Ratio Only one set of gear ratio is homologated and therefore sold by Peugeot Citroën Racing Shop. 6.1.2. Final Drive Only one final drive is homologated and therefore sold at Peugeot Citroën Racing Shop:...

6.1.4. Maintenance Each time the oil is drained, it is imperative to clean the magnetic cap as well as the gearbox strainer. The recommended oil is the TOTAL H50168B, reference 1C2340626A (2L). Capacity: Gearbox + cooling system (new) = 1,1L Gearbox only (oil change) = 1,0L Level for 1.0L...
6.1.6. Gearbox cooling The gearbox oil is cooled/warmed up by an oil/water intercooler fitted at the front of the gearbox. Under normal running condition the gearbox oil temperature ranges from 80 to 120°C. Intercooler Intercooler inlet outlet 6.2. DRIVESHAFTS We advise you to control your driveshafts – and more precisely the boots – after each rally. Left Bearing Right...
Page 24
Caution: There is a specific assembly per road surface: Tarmac Assembly Gravel Assembly Spacer 12mm Tarmac assembly specificity: The driveshaft can not be fitted with the locking nut and pin in tarmac spec; we therefore advise to check the tightening torque of the driveshaft nut after the first run (400Nm) as well as each service.
6.3. CLUTCH The clutch on the 208 Rally4 is from TM Performance. It is a bi-discs clutch, each disc equipped with 6 ceramic pads. 6.3.1. Assembly The clutch being equipped with two discs, a pressure plate as well as an intermediate plate, it is important to respect the order and the direction of assembly described below: Before any assembly / disassembly, we advise you to mark the discs, the plates as well as the clutch mechanism in order to keep the same angular position:...
6.3.2. Inspection The minimum thickness of the clutch disc pads is 5.8mm (6.3mm new). Below this value, we recommend replacing the disc. The disc must also be replaced if cracks appear at the base of the pads, as illustrated in the principle image below: It is recommended to change the six fixing screws of the mechanism at each reassembly.
D00 – ENGINE MOUNTS This car has three powertrain mounts: the engine mount, the gearbox mount and the anti-torque link. Remember to regularly check the tightening torque of the screws and use markings to identify quickly any loosening. Anti-torque Link Gearbox Mount Engine Mount To install the powertrain, or for any operation on the powertrain mounts, proceed as follows:...
