QUOTE(theanswer @ Feb 25 2020, 02:23 PM) those old model use old na engine. latest one use newer turbo engine..less reliable but nice to drive if healthy Not sure why Pug is having issues with their TC engines. Other car manufacturers are doing OK or not having as much reliability problems related to the TC engines. Why?  |

QUOTE(theanswer @ Feb 25 2020, 04:19 PM) basically they use bmw engine (old engine but still a relatively new tech)..but not sure whats the problem. from experience (family used to own pug) those prob is avoidable. oh the prince engine? that thing is crap, and more of Pug than a BMW. Later on Bimmers with smaller engine capacity needs started using the 3 potter 1.5L B38. Now Bimmer even has an underpowered B48 2.0L rated for 318i applications. So the 2.0L B48 is being used for 318i, 320i, and 330i. So Bimmer dumped Pug's Prince and went their own way for their smaller cars; didn't know Pug kept the platform This post has been edited by wild_card_my: Feb 25 2020, 04:22 PM |

QUOTE(theanswer @ Feb 25 2020, 04:47 PM) pug still runs on prince engine. yeap the engine focus more on pug/citroen or mini. after that bmw use b38 for bmw/mini. actually for suv i'd prefer if pug malaysia venture more on their 2.2HDI engine. strong on torque. bimmer didnt want to develop small engines so they JV with Pug. had a lot of issues so they switched to 3litte B38, also had some inherent issues (unbalanced), so now they are likely to go with B48 for all their engine needs, big or small |
