Character

EW12 2.2

"407/607/C5. Largest EW engine. Timing belt. Oil consumption. Less common — overshadowed by 2.0 HDi diesel. Adequate power but heavy fuel consumption."

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."
