Character

EW10 2.0

"307/308/407/508/C5 petrol. EW family top-end. 177hp RC version is potent. Timing belt. Oil consumption. Coil pack failures. VVT on later versions. Solid mid-range engine."

TU3 1.4

"15 million TU engines made. Simple cast iron block. Timing belt (not chain). Head gasket can fail on very old units. Incredibly cheap to maintain. 206/207/C3 workhorse. Over-engineered for what it does."
