Hi all,
I was thinking about the quality in drive between the earlier HDI's and later ones in 306's.
Basically there is a big difference in the way the 2002 3 plug ecu engines sounds and drives compared to the 1 plug ecu in my 2000 dturbo.
I know some of the differences might be to do with the life the engines have had but I still think there is a big difference just because of the ecu in the cars.
The main things I feel is that the 2002 car feels a lot more refined, a lot quieter on idle, smoother and the revs hang for longer to make for a nicer gear change.
I did have an issue with the ecu in the 2000 car and found a 1999 ecu at the time and when swapping it over I noticed the screen on PP2k was different to how it was on the original ecu.
This made me think, if it would be possible to swap the ecu out for what was in the last 306's. If I got a unlocked three plug ecu and rewired or got an engine loom off a later car would it work?
I'll be getting an electronic fuel heater that comes on the later car to.
What do you guys think?
