The 1.9ddis Suzuki use in the Grand Vitara is also a bit of a dog from Renault, although I think it's mostly the emissions crap that is bolted to it.
There aren't many post 2005 diesel engines that I'd buy to be honest. Too light, too much emissions crap, turbo problems, dmf problems etc etc.... I miss the days when diesel engines were slow but ran forever :silly:
Disabling the Egr valve in the software or just blanking it off makes the engine run much smoother and more economical. Especially the low powered 65/70 bhp version.
I would like to take the Derv engine out of my Alfa 159 and put it into the Jimny.
1910 cc, 150 bhp, 320 nm torque, 130+ mph, 50+ mpg.
I think the transmission would need beefing up a bit. :laugh:

Why such a heavy lump on an already very nose-heavy vehicle ?
