red_dwarfers Posted February 16, 2008 Posted February 16, 2008 Are there any differences between the 1.9 and 2.1 ltr Xantia diesels?I'm thinking of getting a Xantia to convert to veggie oil and just wanted to triple check!Apologese in advanced if this appears obvious. Quote
candpdoyle Posted February 17, 2008 Posted February 17, 2008 Hi there I'm no expert mind, but i think the 2.1 is just a faster, more powerful and quieter engine... that said it is also a lot more expensive to buy :( ... i run a 1.9td and am very happy with it's performance on a veg oil mix... imho you dont need a conversion with these cars as the fuel filter is already heated.. if you want to run on 100% oil all you need is a second tank for dino diesel and a change over system of some kind Just make sure your glow plugs are good... have been having major probs starting on cold mornings, kept thinking no way could it just be the plugs, must be something else which would be expensive..... just change dthe plugs yesterday and the difference is amazing :angry: instant starter in very cold weather....

Johndouglas Posted February 17, 2008 Posted February 17, 2008 Used to have a 2.1 Xantia so can recommend them. They have 12 valves against 1.9's 8, and they have Lucas EPIC injection. Quote
