Diesel vs Petrol

[web365ster]

Having decided that the RCZ is more about the show than the go, I've started to consider the diesel models as well as the 200 Petrol. Just got a couple of questions
Is the diesel the same engine that I might find in my wife's 2.0HDi Citroen DS4?
Does the diesel GT get the same gearbox model as the petrol, and does it come with the smaller wheel and short throw shifter?

I test drove both the 1.6 petrol and 2ltr diesel and was amazed 8n the difference.
I bought the diesel and am very pleased

I wouldn't be buying a diesel going forward. The diesel is Euro 5 and will be subject to fees for entering cities and congested areas.

I will always prefer the petrol engine, apart from pollution problems that penalize the diesel, for the pleasure of raising revs to the limit in acceleration.

I didn't read his profile, but we are talking Peugeot RCZs and Citroen C4 diesels. I'm sure it's more likely to be California near Falkirk than California USA.

I have the diesel.
The torque is remarkable and it cruises economically and with plenty of grunt when needed.
Most folk are surprised when told it is an oil burner!
The lump (engine) has a good reputation for robustness, also.

If you're going to wear a kilt you firstly have to be able to measure up and secondly be a man.

Just got the diesel. They say it has the more robust engine, plus I wanted some fuel economy On top of that Celtic tuning offer a stage 1 remap that they claim take it up to 200hp and give an extra 26% torque. It already pulls like a mofo so I'm looking forward to saving my pennies for the remap.

Hi there Will I have been told that it is possible to get a extra 30bhp guaranteed just by plugging into the reader plug.... Wonder what money they will be asking for to do it...

I think its time for petrol again as its 20p cheaper at the pumps . Also the heater works quicker in a petrol car hence my preference but really its your own personal choice for me I had to have the R only being a petrolhead

Don't want on pee on your bonfire regarding the remap but clutches take a hammering getting into that power range but good luck & watch the speedo!

And don't forget to tell the insurance company (as if!).

Oh for the little bit of fun it'd be put to, I'm sure I can go easy on the clutch during gear changes
