Hi All,
I'm very pleased with the ZX I recently acquired (1.6 / 1992) - I
want another :),
(rather, change the "working" good natured C-15 with a ZX).
Thing is, I'd like more engine power (though not the sport version),
so I'm thinking of the 1.8.
Some questions :
Does the 1.8 give noticeably more power than the 1.6? is it worth the
change?
If so, how is it reliable-wise? Does it have more units/electrical
controls that are replacement prone? Is it more sensitive/touchy etc. ?
Is there a significance regarding the year of manufacture/different
engine models?
I'm thinking of the older models (1993-94).
Any general advice?
Thanks in advance for any guidance,
Ido

second try:
any reason not to go for a ZX 1.8 (as opposed to the 1.6)?
thanks,
Ido

IIRC the 1.8 was only in the three-door Furio, which didn't exactly set the
sales charts on fire, so is going to be tricky to find.

(Notices .IL) - Well, that was the case in the UK, anyway.

Here in Israel there are a fair share of various Citroens, once in a
while a passing DS...
The 1.8 ZX is here both in the 3-door and in the standard 4-door
platforms.
The 3-door 1.8 is actually rarer than the 4-door 1.8.
Damn but I want a 1.8! :)
I'll try and get a feel for them and get local feedback.
BTW, could you by any chance provide an English link for this group?
I seem to get only a German(?) version.
Thanks Adrian,
Ido

I think it's the same 1.8 as the Xantia.
