what mpg should a 2.1 turbo diesel xud give in an xantia estate, Any good or the same as a petrol, thanks
well i read hdi injectors are between £600 and £300 a pop, the dmf's cost a small fortune to replace and often need replacing, (A vag bugbear I believe) blah blah but the old xud engine just keeps plodding along stress and care free. for me this is a money saving exercise. i don't want to suffer depreciation or maintenance. Just want to do my 500 miles a week for as little money as possible in some sort of comfort. Hopefully releasing enough money so I can blast a 944s2 in the summer, one pays for the other so to speak.
Yep it's a D Turbo, New cam belt, water pump, service all fluids, oils and filters etc, 12 months MOT No corrosion whatsoever Very clean 1995 XM2 £565 on ebay, Now it has to earn it's keep as I am currently doing just under 500 miles commuting alone, it has a lot to live up to as my 1.8 petrol Mondeo is pretty ood on fuel. So now I have a Cheap Audi A4 Estate with every extra except leather for sale if you know anyone who likes Audis (2.4 v6)
They're not bad engines, the injection is a bit complex and stands on its own, being the very late end of IDI systems before the almost universal adoption of common rail systems. CR systems are also complex but they've been around a while now and are proving to be pretty durable in many applications.
They can be tuned to about 140bhp (std is 110) with some ECU attention.
The 2.1 XUD-T fascinated me because the refinement was superb, and all the more impressive because of it's IDI origins.
Also tidy job motor there mate,
It's ashame you don't live closer else I could have gave it a little tune up. No computers involved
