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."

XU10 2.0

"405/406/Xantia. Older XU family — cast iron block. Turbo 16V version (RFS) in 405 T16. Timing belt. Head gasket on turbo variants. Simple, proven, cheap parts. RFS turbo is a classic."
