1.9 DCi! - Talk to me...

[Ali]

Ins and outs. Defo considering one for work. I spend over 250-300 a month on fuel.
Avg 17-19mpg...
I want a car for winter too...But fancy a daily runner, cheap tax too.

 

[.GAZ.]

cheap derv golf mk4?

 

[Mark5290]

I would not bother with a diesel the way the price of diesel fuel is going, how about a C1/107/Aygo - 60 +mpg and £35 a year tax or Toyota Yaris - 50 + mpg and £120 tax now, then going down to £95 from 2010.

 

[Ali]

So if you get 500+ miles to a tank?! Happy days!

Depends where you drive, an Aygo is dreadful anywhere out of city/town centres.

Even though it's more to buy, it's still quite a bit more economical.

 

[Ali]

Aygo...Have a word. I want to look 20 not 60.

[ForceIndia]

Speak to Riz, Pug 306 HDI, used to get 600+ miles out of a tank. Aircon, auto wipers etc, only cost a couple of k to buy,.

 

[rory182]

200 brake turbo's rwd aygo, wannabe v6

 

[Eckascliovalver]

lol at the aygo, i would be tempted tpo go for the humble 1.2, sound perfect for what your needing it for

 

[mini-valver]

Polo blumotion. Free road tax and 70 to the gallon!

 

[Justin]

[Ian_182]

ali - get the 1.9 si-dti it was a 110bhp version from about 1999-2001. I had one as a run about from new - put 50,000 miles on it in 18 months and got rid of it. averaged 40mpg thrashing it, more when I was pootling. I used to get 540 miles on 40L going steady. I had it chipped to about 130BHP.

Y729 XDA was the one I had if you need to get model details:

F9Q Engine in CB0V with a JB3 Box.

[mini-valver]

Was gonna say, the ph1 is a 1.9 DTi, the mk2 is a 1.5 DCi. The DTi, for me, is a better engine as it's more mechanical as a pose to the common rail stuff in most new diesals, if thta makes sense

 

[y0z2a]

and is there a 1.9 dci? I think there was a 1.5 65 / 1.5 80 / 1.5 110 but a 1.9?

I think there is in a megane, but not sure in a clio?

/y0z

(I was beaten to it about the engine too by mini valver)

 

[VeinAST]

Dads got a Passat 1.9 TDi 130bhp. Gets 59mpg on a town run, even more on the motorway. He does 160 miles a day for work and doesnt have to top up until the weekend, go figure

 

[Middo]

Girlfriends dad had a meggy 1.9 DCi, drove like s**t off a shuffle to be honest, was a nice car. Think i'd go for the new civic every time if money was no object though

 

[Ali]

Hate the old ph1 shape...Must be the newer model.

 

[Beef-Mc]

Mk1 1.9 can be run on veg oil, something to do with the injectors in it.

Mk2 Ph1 clio was a 1.9, most of them seem to be 5 doors for some reason.

 

[Justin]

DCi's are all 1.5s? :S

 

[Ali]

errrr.....Oooopsss....So they are...

 

[Ben.]

[Beef-Mc]

Ali, you wont need more than the 65 if it's just for commuting and cost saving.

 

[Ali]

[The Big Yin]

Dci 65 here Ali - Averages 55-58 mpg mixture of A roads and pootling round town even booting it still manage 50mpg £35 a year road tax and it aint that slow once it gets going (IC and remap wil mae it better) handles no bad for what it is too

[Justin]

Mine, which Si now owns, was the 65 but had the climate control, auto wipers/lights etc.. Not alot of them have that. Dad's one is the 80bhp, which i think he is considering selling
