1.9 alloy Mi16 = 133 kg
XUD9TE (1905cc 8v diesel) = 140kg
XU10J4RS (306 GTi6) = 159kg
The diesels are only very slightly heavier than the 1.9 8v they originally came with, really only the weight of the injector pump and ancillaries - the bare block is very similar.
That does surprise me! I know from carrying an ally Mi16 engine how light they feel. 2 of us managed it without too much trouble. Couldn't imagine doing it with a derv lump that's for sure!
Tom. I've always found driving any 205 seems to encourage me to drive like a hooligan lol
