Di 1.7 go forever mine done around 200,000 when I sold it and I still see it driving around propper solid engines, also made it quicker swapped the gear box for a low ratio box which only made the top speed around 98mph instead of the 112mph I used to get ( on private roads ) but alot nippier off the lights

bump this, guessing the Di is none turbo?

64bhp be slow as fuck wont it :|


13.6 0-60

They don't seem great, for example my Megane 1.9 Diesel has 300NM of torque and the 1.7 Di has 130NM, thought maybe they wouldn't be too bad as it's a diesel and has torque but that doesn't seem a lot at all, seems pretty low for bhp and torque. Must do amazing MPG !

Di would be turbo but no intercooler, dti is turbo and intercooler.

Motors should go on and on.

CDTI is 1.3 and about 75bhp, so a bit more grunt but a more fragile engine.

It will be used for business sunz, so that isnt an issue.

Is the 1.7di nippy mate? what bhp are they standard? Can you get tuning boxes for them?
