when did CRDi come in?

Post by Sam KS »

when did Citron introduce a Common Rail Diesel Injection motor into either Xantia or XM?

They never did in the XM, I think the Xantia got one in 1999 although there were a few of these engines about in 1998. The were known as Hdi engines

The XU engine hung on for a long time... The HDi as we know it engine came along in 1998, found from S reg 406 and Xantias... These cars are the first ones in the PSA range to get the excellent engine while the XM and 605 were left to die with the XUd engine...

As Peter says, for what ever the reason, the XM never recived the HDi engine sadly.

Thanks for the info, was just talking to a local Citroen bloke yesterday and we didn't get any HDi's in Xantia's here but I was sure i had seen them mentioned on here.

If you have Xantias from 1999, 2000 and 2001 then there should be HDi engines, as the XUD TD was dropped completely for good in late 1999..

we might not have got diesels that late. we don't get many diesels here until lately. people here think i'm mad when i keep going on about diesels, but some have now driven the CRDi motors and can see what i have been harping on about for the last 10 years.
