Hdi 90 or 110?

After a conversation with a potential Xantia or C5 purchaser I was asked "How do you tell a Hdi 90bhp from a 110bhp engine?"
I hadn't got a clue[:I]
Could someone let me know so that I can let my mate know please.
Regards.

The 110 has an intercooler, so look for fat air hoses heading down in front of the radiator. Some cars may have a sticker on the A or B post behind the drivers door saying 90 or 110.
The 110 will always go better than a 90[:D]

110 has an intercooler for a start

Thanks!
I was looking for an intercooler on top of the engine like my old ZX Memphis td(wonderful car btw).
So, the intercooler on the 110 lives down by the radiator eh?
I'll have a look.
Thanks for the quick replies[:)]

The Chassis numbers are also a giveaway. On the Xantia and im assuming its going to be similar on the C5 the 90 version starts RHY the 110 starts RHX. So you can tell without popping the bonnet! (l@@k @ the V5)
