110 or 90
How the heck do I know which engine i've got. The V5 doesn't say Citroen can't say searching there database other than it's a HDi diesel. It must have some easy visual clues. I'm starting to find out about Citroen ownership, but don't worry I owned a Fiat before so I'm well broken in HEHE. Oh yes it's a 2000 W estate.

Now this is the confusing part. My chassis plate says RHY but GSF don't list a HDi estate 90 bhp. Also does the intercooler look like a small radiator? I need to get to the bottom of this as it's gonna effect my insurance as well I suppose. This has all started since I tried to order some front brake disk's.
You could always have a Van Aaken smart box fitted.That will give you 110bhp.

you could have the smart box fitted AND also fit an intercooler yourself.... 125bhp ish??or maybe a bit more...! i know by fitting a alloy front mounted intercooler to a ZX instead of the top mounted standard intercooler power is increased approx. 20bhp, intercoolers make a big difference

p.s. there was a C5 intercooler on ebay with pipework for i t hink 34 quid last month!

Allard Turbo Sport can intercool and chip the 110 to 150bhp, or the hdi90 to 135bhp. If your after anything thats what you want to do.
They'll chip and intercool the 90 to 137bhp! But if the two engines are the essentially the same, I see no reason why the hdi90 can't be pursuaded to develop the 150bhp either. Even the chipped and intercooled hdi90 develops some huge amount of mid-range torque (200lbft+), which is what a diesel is all about!
I think the mod is well worth the 700 odd quid it costs for driveability and torque alone!
Diesels were so poor and sluggish with no intercoolers, the early td's were just not that good. I can't believe Peugeot even bothered with the 90, if the 110 is simply the same engine with an intercooler. Cheap skates!
I'd try get the ecu and intercooler/piping from a 110 at a scrapper for 100 quid. Voila hdi110 for bugger all!
