Xantia 2.0 HDI
Was thinking of going for one of these. Are they worth having over the standard 1.9 TD?

Course if HMRC bring in their plans regarding SVO, you'll be quids in with a 1.9TD and bosch pump as you won't need to pay duty on any veg oil you pour into the tank.
Not sure how much refined biodiesel the HDi can handle. It certainly won't be able to run on straight veg oil.

I must have missed that one from HMRC, but cannot really believe that the nice Gordon will allow it. He's grabbing every penny elsewhere.Xac wrote:Course if HMRC bring in their plans regarding SVO, you'll be quids in with a 1.9TD and bosch pump as you won't need to pay duty on any veg oil you pour into the tank.

As I understand it, the problem with SVO and the HDi engine is down to the higher viscosity of SVO. The pressures get too high and all the alarm bells go off. Certainly small amounts of SVO are OK.

It's costing HMRC too much to process all the small duty payments for veg users, so they're thinking about dropping the need for users of less than 2500ltrs a year.
There's also the court case against them regarding breaching their Kyoto agreement by making SVO more expensive than dino thanks to the duty.
Direct injections do not like SVO, some of them don't even like biodiesel.
Major step backwards if you ask me, especially considering some of the appauling mpg figures some people have mentioned from C5's!

Thats why my 2.1td and the coupe are going for sale as son as i find a nice cheap 1.9td shed to get me about untill i find a superb 1.9td phase II as i have seen em knocking about on anything upto an V plate in the flesh so all the goodies can be found for them and dead easy to work on as well i have found bar the odd glowplug and no auxillary heater in the wing to worry about either, just chuck the SVO in and away you go and for my work mileage it would make me very happy

Didn't yours have bosch pumps though rather than Lucas Epics? (you lucky thing you)Peter.N. wrote:My XM has an almost identical pump and injectors to the Xantia, after all the 2.1 is still an XUD IDI engine.
