if it was me, our vehicle testing guys wouldnt even notice-you should be replacing factory with factory, so who would notice? Grind off the 16v logo, and try it. How could they know? I avoid citroen garages over here these days, as they are b*****d sticklers for factory crap, and they wont even let ...

Otherwise its apart that will quite likely be straight swapped with a 2l xantia model-dont quote me tho. Get it off, pull it to bits, clean the hell out, replace what you can.If that dont ...
