General engine weights...

[jamescharlesworth]

...does anyone know the weights, even relative to each other, of the different panda engines (not too concerned with the 1.1). I am specifically interested in the potential handling differences between the 1.2 and the multijet, due to nose weight. I know that the multijet is a very advanced thing built out of a lot of aluminium, thus its lighter than a typical iron block diesel.

Is there anyone who can offer a direct comparison between the two, based on personal experience - perhaps someone who owns both or drives them a lot...? one thing i imagine is that the front springs and dampers may be different, on the diesel, for example, which may affect the ride.

i've just got to know, cos i'm like that.

the new generation 1.3 multijet turbo diesel engine will come in at about 130 kilos, the older one should be around that
