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."

TU5 1.6

"206/306/307 16V. Same TU family as TU3 but 1.6 with 16 valves. Timing belt. Oil leaks at high mileage. TU5JP4 used in 106 GTi/Saxo VTS — great motorsport pedigree. Simple, proven."
