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?

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

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.

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

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
10-12-2011, 05:33 PM
Haha lol u got me
10-12-2011, 08:39 PM
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

Doh!

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...
12-12-2011, 06:56 PM
TU engines are awesome! Im not going to leave them anytime soon!
TU FTMFW!!!

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
