200TDi Common or not?

<< < (4/5) > >>

bullfrog:
It does not matter what engine was in it befor as long as the Tdi has bben fitted properly
I have had 200 and 300 retro fit RRCs and all have been fine.
Retro's are a lot cheaper that GEN as they are generaly older base models.
My current one is an 87/D with a 300 Tdi on a 5 speed ashcroft box
The 300s are smoother to drive as the turbo comes in sooner but generaly cost more to buy.
A 200 is fine and if fitted well and serviced will return around 28 Mpg if not more.
I have seen loads at the £1200 mark although not recently.
Hope that helps now go and buy one  :lol:

Many thanks for the info.   The older ones with the selectable transferbox rather than the Borg Warner unit is far more preferable, so it looks like it shall be a retrofitted 200TDi.  :D

He didn't say they never fitted the Tdi.  He said they never fitted the 200Tdi.  And afaik he was right.
