Xantia Activa

Unread post by **froggy** » 16 Mar 2011, 21:28

I"ve just seen the nice Activa , for sale on ebay , only 12 miles away but petrol ! Probably a very silly question , but, is there such a thing as Activa Diesel , or only petrol ?
thanks Terry

On the Continent they were available with many engines, including both IDI and HDI diesels and the V6 to name a couple.

Here in the UK we only had the 2.0 TCT. There are a couple of UK Activas that have been transplanted with the V6 to make a RHD Activa V6. Some have toyed with the idea of fitting a diesel engine but, as far as I'm aware, none have actually done it yet.

I still may do this when I eventually go and see an Activa I may be dooing a swap with for a TD Xantia.. I have another complete TD Xantia to do it with..

2.1TD with a Bosch Paul? Now that would be nice

1.9 XUD with a Bosch Pump... Not got any 2.1 lumps spare.. except the one in my XM SED which is not spare...

Would a 1.9TD do the Activa any justice? Given that a few say even the 150bhp TCT isnt near enough ....

Tweak it up to 200BHP like that 306 Mike posted about and it should do the trick

That might be more like it.

There is a challange for you Paul!

Better an S1 car with a HDi 110 WITH tuning box fitted!

A 2.1 or HDi 110 would probably be slightly easier as they already use the ML5T box just with different ratios to the TCT.

i would say its got to be the 110 and heavily tuned to make it work, ive been out in a 110 pug 406 today and then jumped in the activa to come home and the 406 is slooooooooow in comparison but then my activa is tweaked and the 406 isnt so that widens the gap a little.
dont think a 1.9idi is a good idea though....................

Ultimatly if your going to go through all that effort it has to be a V6 though.
