What cars have the 16v Fiat/Alfa jtd engine and how can they be identified? Cheers'O
The BMW 2ltr was also used in the Rover MG Line-up. Since I got interested in buying a diesel (A week now) I have been reading everything I can find on the net including the celtic tuning site yoy reccomend Paul. And it seems the Fiat/gm engine comes highly rated, especially in 1.9 16v form. I am now trying to figure out the cheapest car it sits in my search has led me to the 147 (not cheap in 16v form) Stilo (cheaper and I am now checking out Saab 9-3s on the trader but it seems all saab diesels were badged as TiD. Just need to find the 16v ones to see if they are cheap. Check out what Celtic can do with the 1.9....marvelous
The thing is I Personally would buy a Diesel to save money and therefore to avoid the deprecation trap the car would have to be near the bottom of it's deprecation curve and unfortunately I won't get a 6cly modern diesel or BMW 2 ltr for under £2k.
So I am looking for a balance of economy and power with reliability for under £2k. I was looking at the 2.2 hdi's but they are no more economical than my ford petrol However with my studies it seems the 16v JTd is highly regarded. But still not cheap enough for me
Yeah I think we have answered the guys question now so it's all good in my book,
Unless he needs anything else?
Yes it does indeed,
212hp up from 150 is a hell of a jump.
Of course, 330lbft is more the region...
yep at 327 lb/ft similar torque than some modern ferraris from a cheap 1.9 diesel and a £300 tune up.........meant to be one of the better diesels as well when it comes to reliability....doesn't sound very italian does it
looking on other forums the general consensus is that second hand modern diesel engines are best avoided due to inherent problems that come with age and a better bet is an old technology diesel or a petrol. What do you think?
Due to lack of sufficient funds and the urgent need to buy a car I've done exactly that and bought a non-turbo petrol car.
