V8Pete 0 Posted January 13, 2008 One's come up as an insurance writeoff, but it's about two day's drive away from me, so I can't check it out. It's allegedly a '1996 Citroen ZX GTI Volcane' with a 1998 cc engine and the VIN is VF7N2E70001E70025. Can anyone tell what engine it has from that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miles 331 1 Cars Posted January 13, 2008 If it's a Volcane I;d say it's the 8v as the 16v's I don;t think where known as Volcanes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshpug 1,657 Posted January 13, 2008 There was never a ZX GTi, all volcane's were a 1.9 8v in early cars and 2.0 8V later. All 16v cars were simply badged 16V. There was a later variant that the UK never got which was called the Dakar, IIRC to commemorate a victory by Citroen in the Dakar Rally with a ZX, this particular model was XU10J4RS powered and 5 speed, released in 1996 and 97 prior to the release of the Xsara. they should all have this badge, which isnt a Saxo badge they look like this note the spoiler, wheelarch trims rubstrips and sideskirts, all of which were unique to the 16v. They're a very rare car nowadays, even rarer than when the 400 cars built were sold in the uk! IMO its an excellent car, lighter than the 306 and a better handler, which is why when mine spun a shell on No4 rod, I got a gti6 engine for it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshpug 1,657 Posted January 13, 2008 from that VIN number I can tell that it originally had an RFX 2.0 iron block 8v fitted amusingly it appears it should be a ZX Reflex according to the badges linked to that VIN Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

welshpug 1,657 Posted January 13, 2008 aaah I wondered if that was possible, do I just select the characteristics tab as in the pic above? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sandy 191 Posted January 13, 2008 Yup, seems to work! I've just tried doing the same for my 205 on the Peugeot site, but there's less info. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
V8Pete 0 Posted January 14, 2008 Thanks. Just bought a crashed 1.9 Mi16 instead This is the badging if anyone's interested... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mandic 0 Posted January 14, 2008 I thought ZX never had a 1.9 Mi16, only 2.0 Mi16/S16, al least over here. Cheers Ziga Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
V8Pete 0 Posted January 14, 2008 Oh, na, the ZX is not the one I bought - it's the one I was asking about, but didn't buy it in the end because I got a 405 Mi16 instead. This is the Mi16.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mandic 0 Posted January 14, 2008 Ah ok, I thought You posted up pic of a ZX, bagded GTi, having Mi16 in... LOL, it's just a minor scratch Cheers Ziga Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
