I have a 2008 multijet which would have been the 75bhp model however there was an engine failure after 3 years and just 23,000 miles when the car was owned by the previous keeper. The engine was replaced under warranty and I contacted the dealer who did the change and they confirmed that it was a 95bhp engine that they fitted as the 75bhp was no longer available. As I understand it however the clutch was not uprated nor the powertrain so either I may have issues in the future & they were just doing the absolute minimum or the ratings & tolerances will be fine.
Either way, I guess I should not do any more performance mods - I have a K&N panel filter and a free flowing exhaust already. I am very happy with performance & economy but there's always room for improvement!
Correction on the gearbox.
C510 for the MJ I
C510R for the MJ II
If you've got the MJ II engine and the drivetrain off the MJ I I would probably keep clear of a tuning box.
Are there any insurance implications with the engine change even though it was done by the dealer ?
Would the more powerful engine justify the bigger brakes ?
