o/t looking for a new small car
Turbo Mini Forums

Good evening all, at the moment i am looking for a new car to replace the 106, i have decided to go for an small oil burner.

The cars i have been looking at are the pug 207 1.4hdi/ 1.6 90hp hdi, citoren c2 and c3 with the same engines, vaux corsa/astra, vw polo bluemotion are a few i have been looking at.

My question to you guys have any of you guys had any dealings with any of these?

Just remembered the frog 1.6 tdi engine is a bit naff even when fitted to the volvo c30/s40/v50 range

Just a thought, the toyota yaris maybe??? Ive owned a petrol version and it was a great little car and never heard owt bad about the 1.4td version.

one day boost will be mine!

ibiza
swift
yaris

would be on my go have a look at list

Arosa, lupo ??

Price range up to about 6k as its needed for work as well, the pug hdi engines i have never had a problem with but the renault dci i have, the other draw back for me is im looking for low tax as well and high mpg the toyota engines i have seen arent much better than the pug (slightly older ones) and i honestly havent ever seen a deisel swift.

Ibiza and polo are highest on my list atm, though i do quite like the corsa and fiesta but again reliability.

My girlfriend is just about to put her 37k '07 turbo diesel Corsa up for sale if you're interested. It's mint.

It does about 65 to the gallon and being the 90 brake version it goes like stink. Think tax is somut like £90 a year and that's getting renewed at the end of October in a few days time. MoT is due in May next year but it flew through the one this year as it just doesn't do anything like high mileage.

Think she's looking at £6k as the plan is to sell that and put it towards a used T5 to carry the motorbikes on holiday.

If you're interested, drop me a PM or call me on 07719714999.

Minivanless, but reluctantly happy living with the decision. There'll be another one day.

Citroen C2/C3 1.4 hdi is the DV4 engine produced by FMC and PSA, good little engine, very torquey, only problem with them is the injector seals are prone to failure at some point, but it's an easy job to fix (and cheap).

The engine is also in lots of other cars, I have a Mk6 Fiesta with the engine, done 30k miles in it and only problems were the injector seals and a noisy idler! £30 a year road tax and they can be picked up in decent condition for less than £2000. 70mpg, No regrets my end!

The 1.6 (DV6) I don't know much about

vw polo 1.4tdi? 71mpg a mate of mine got on a (slow and boring) run.

Audi s4 b5 - 470bhp & 486ft lbs

yeah stick the bit in and give it a wobble

Due to an over estimation on money side of things by about 1500 quid ;-S due to some unforceen things coming up and not being able to find a low milage deisel and finding out about a pay rise im going to stick with a petrol car and for the sort of millage that i do it would only come through working out cheaper after a fair while as the price of deisel is quite high.

Medusa + injection = too much torque for the dyno ..https://youtu.be/qg5o0_tJxYM

Renault 1,2 TCE 100 in something like a Clio 3 ?

Or maybe the Pug 1,6 THP engine in anything that gets fitted with it ?
It's the engine Pug develloped under BMW supervision and gets fitted in the Bini's so it must not be too bad ...

Rusty by nature

Top man first geuss, i really like the drive of them, i know its french but so is the pug and its done me well, bring on some boost hehe

need one of those facepalm pictures

Actually, I will probably replace my DCi 120 Megane Estate with a TCe 100 Clio 3 Estate at some point as I don't do enough mileage to keep it healthy (and the bigger the car, the more crap you carry anyway)

Rusty by nature

My 02 plate Clio 1.5DCI has been a great car for commuting does 60-65mpg and £30 to tax a year!
