#1: Feels too fast? Very Odd. Replaced engine?? Author: Martind, Location: Woolsery, North DevonPosted: Wed Dec 07, 2011 4:18 pm ---- Hi All,
I have a 2001 206CC. It is the 2.0 16V engine. Engine is running spot on.
Today, it was back in the garage for minor work, and I was given a 206 GTi as a courtesy car.
Driving the GTi, it feels nowhere near as powerful or torquey as my CC, where it should be more so, as it is lighter (albeit not a great deal).
It was a bit of a disapointment to be honest, I was expecting it to be a bit of a hoot!
Is there any way of telling if my car has got a more powerful engine? Because as far as I know, they GTi and the CC have the same engine/gearboxes etc.
Or have I just got a good one?

this answer everything already
#3: Re: Feels too fast? Very Odd. Replaced engine?? Author: Martind, Location: Woolsery, North DevonPosted: Wed Dec 07, 2011 4:35 pm ---- I think you have it mixed up!
The courtesy GTi felt much less powerful and torquey than my CC
If it was the other way round, then that is what I would have assumed! Lol

#6: Re: Feels too fast? Very Odd. Replaced engine?? Author: Martind, Location: Woolsery, North DevonPosted: Wed Dec 07, 2011 4:45 pm ---- It is a peugeot specialist garage, he has all sorts there!
I doubt the car had been poorly looked after, it only had 68k. It wasn't on his forecourt because it was too old for him (2002)
I will have to pop into Peugeot with the Chassis and Engine Number and see what their computer says

You just have a good one, stop worrying about it.

Absolutely. Especially when your own car is in under waranty and you're pi$$ed at peugeot.
I find they're especially quick over speed bumps compared to normal cars.

I prefer the CC, my other half prefers the GTi but I don't care!
Thanks for your replies

Same with every hire car too, used and abused.
#14: Re: Feels too fast? Very Odd. Replaced engine?? Author: E5GDM, Location: EssexPosted: Wed Dec 07, 2011 7:48 pm ---- Could be that your CC is less well insulated & flexes a bit more so gives the illusion of going faster.
