Character

"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."

"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."
