Am I right in thinking all D2's (1.6's and 2 litres) are PSA engines with a bit of Volvo input up until around 2015 ish when they became purely Volvo engines (VEA's)?

How are you finding the petrol T2 in comparison to the V50 diesel, fuel consumption wise?

You would yeah, I wasn't and only getting mid 40's.

In the V40 yes, 1.6 D2 for so long then changed to the 2.0 VEA D2.

I don't really boot the T2 around so am averaging 48mpg at the moment. I'd say it's much better on fuel than the V50. Smaller car with a bigger engine, where as the V50 was a small engine and a much bigger car.
Temping to get the V40 remapped. It's only 120bhp and stage 1 takes it to 190bhp.
