The reason for having the 2litre lump is its bulletproof. there's only 2 faults on them which got fixed years ago and with regular servicing and maintenance will go on for mile after mile faultlessly.
Also MrBSI has a 1.4 TU3 lump 206

Hmm, Wednesday supporter its hard work lately
Tom the 2l is like Madine, a big lump he'll even get a goal every now and then. Where as the 1.6 is more like a Messi, not only does he get the goals, but he puts a smile on ya face doing it 
Buy mine, dont think its that bad, bet you'd end up in the 1.6

I'd take the 2l any day. It's got proven reliability. The 1.6 was like peugeot trying to reinvent the wheel and screwed it up big time.

I disagree, they are great little cars, quick, economical and fun to drive.
If maintained and dpf regenerates regulary, they are solid.
You say the 2l has 2 faults, so does the 1'6, because the cost difference is diffrrent is no reason to villify the 1.6as.much as people do on here.
Engineers of other msnufacturers thought the engine good enough to put it other vehicles.

Wow. 20bhp. Easily sorted.
A 'good' car isn't all about the power.
However if it is. Add up the cost of De-Fap, flywheel conversion, changing to a decent FMIC and map. Use the same amount of money on tuning a 2.0HDi I wonder which one would be more powerful.

A 206 like Messi? You turned to crack mate?
Bias is on both sides here, lets be honest.

Trip to the scrappy where they have a 406, they made 110bhp variants of the 2l lump in that Or maybe a transplat from the 407 where they run 140 with 6 speed box.
Im not a diseasel fan at all, always have been a petrol head allways will be. But I would choose the 2l lump any day even if it does have 20bhp less.
Also the 2 faults on the 2litre dont cause anywhere near the headache the problems on the 1.6 do. If the problem does creap up on a 2litre it doesnt stop you driving it at full power.
