The Definitive Weights Thread

Recommended Posts

cybernck

Has anyone got a pair of driveshafts to weigh please?

 

And does anyone have skills and time to make a nice Excel sheet or a simple categorised table with all the data from this topic? :)

306 GTI-6 rear caliper without pads - exactly 2 kg

 

I'm guessing the 205 GTI one is about the same :).

205/309 GTI 'fat' starter motor = 10lb 4oz , Peugeot OE 'slimline' starter = 6lb 4oz .

Obviously there will be some variation depending on brand etc of starter but a 4lb saving has got to be good news .

 

4 short headed GTI wheelbolts = 15 oz

4 long headed GTI wheelbolts = 1lb 3 oz

A 16 oz saving for a full set .

205/309 GTI 'fat' starter motor = 4.65 KG , Peugeot OE 'slimline' starter = 2.84 KG .

Obviously there will be some variation depending on brand etc of starter but a 1.81 KG saving has got to be good news .

 

4 short headed GTI wheelbolts = 0.43 KG

4 long headed GTI wheelbolts = 0.54 KG

A 0.45 KG saving for a full set .

 

I really think we should stick to metric units in this thread!

After a bit of searching, I found the 1.9 Mi16 (XU9J4) version of that series of technical documents.

 

http://ddata.over-blog.com/4/23/45/11/XU9J4.pdf

 

Without flywheel = 112.6kg

With flywheel (and clutch?) = 121.6kg

With starter and alternator = 132.7kg

 

Looks like comparing like for like, the 16v engine is around 13kg heavier than the 8v (100, 108, 119kg).

 

I'm struggling to find similar documents for later XU engines, but it's probably reasonable to assume that the equivalent weights (including flywheel/alternator/starter) are those I listed back on page 9. There's still something a little odd with the XU10 figures though.

i know from comparing the XU7 block directly against the bare XU10 block that there's 18 kilos in it as well, but is that 112 kilos including manifolds? it sounds like it given I've weighed a bare 8v at 78 kilos.

 

 

I recently weighed an almost bare TU5J4, it came in at a hefty 100 kilos.
