[Eeyore]

i think you will find once you have fixed all the leaks they are infact epic!

[Matt]

EPICALLY SLOW

[Niall]

Haha love it!

[Matt]

you love it as you have a 1.8 lol

[Poodle]

I quite like the engine on the cabby actually, I have no idea if that's a TU or not before anyone shouts at me. It's a petrol, why would i care?

[Matt]

Asaik it's just 1.4 and 1.6 that are tu. the cabby will be xu

[Poodle]

Well there you go, i've learnt something today.

In which case, TU = shit.

[Matt]

Haha yeah cus there cabby has the xsi engine iirc

[Niall]

They did do the cab with the 1.8 as well

[Matt]

Oh really? You really do learn something new everyday

[stevieg]

...have a shit oil filter design in later models

[Niall]

...have a shit oil filter design in later models

So do the XU's though in all fairness.

[Ruan]

I know, let's put the oil filter on the front of the block....

Then tilt it 35*...

So all the oil invariably ends up pissing all down the front of the block as you undo the filter.

Yeah, great f*cking idea.

[Niall]

And then put a air con pump, radiator hose and power steering hoses in the way. Great idea frenchies!

I'm a massive gay!

Your so right

[cpikey316_]

You can get a 1.6 cabriolet too.

But seriously, the one good thing about my old XRDT was the easy to undo oil filter.

The saab one aint too bad.

the 1.8 is a real pig, no room to get my big screwdriver in there! :p

[Dan]

Haha lol u got me

[Matt]

lol

[Seb_Ryan]

Mum n dad gotta 1.4 xsara thing, completely wank, can go faster in 4th gear than 5th..

I actually don't mind mind the TU lumps....pretty frugal....just what you have to keep in mind is that they're not built for speed but for round town. Retern decent mpg and are nippy enough for town traffic! Although the HG's are made of cheese

Pft didnt even pick up on the 2 "mind"s lol

[Scott]

Doh!

[THE_Liam]

The 16 valve TU in the 106 GTI is awesome, great on fuel, revvy, and an absolute monster over 4k

Would be no good in a 306 though because of the weight...

[Foxy-jim]

TU engines are awesome! Im not going to leave them anytime soon!

TU FTMFW!!!

[Matt]

to be fair my 1.6 wasnt actually that bad, just chewed up the gearbox,almost burnt out the head had £1700 spent on it in a year but wasnt that bad

[Foxy-jim]

Haha. Fair enough! Going to put a 1.6 TU in mine! Haha. Sticking by it!

[Matt]

lol they are okay if you look after them, mine was just a mess of an engine
