Diesel dfz pivots

[Gavin Waddell 18]

Hello 

 

I have a friend who has been given a 1.9 diesel automatic 205 it has the dfz engine. I was wondering if the front pivots where the 1.9 or 1.6 ones ? Should i ask him to take a picture to see if they have the the lager hub nut?

 

Thanks

DFZ has 1.6 running gear.

Welshpug, you are completely correct don't know why i said that it was a diesel. My mate keeps sending me loads of ads for 205's for sale and i got mixed up.

Thanks PeterT for confirming that they are 1.6 hub pivots, i won't be taking them then.

all beside the point but no 205 diesel automatics either unfortunately

have heard that the only XUD with an auto gearbox is in a CitBx

 never seen one obviously but like the idea of chugging along without having to change gears

My grandfather bought a BX NA diesel auto brand new in 1990/91. It was one of the only diesel auto cars you could buy at the time, it replaced his Orion 1.6D manual, he was very pleased with it as compared to the Orion it saved him changing gears but still did 50mpg.

I'm not sure which model or year your friend's 205 is, but based on your description, it seems like it might be a 1.9 diesel automatic with the DFZ engine.

If you're wondering about the front pivots, they are typically specific to the engine and transmission type. The 1.9 diesel models often have different front pivots than the 1.6 models.

Dfz is not a diesel engine.
