90 or 110 306Hdi?

[Len Cuff]

Having read the thread on chipping a 306HDi 90 to 110, I thought I'd try to find out what my 2001 306 HDi is. The V5 doesn't tell me which but the VIN number ends in 110 so is this any indication?

Engine number is DYHF4002119. I've taken the cover off the engine but nothing seems to indicate which it is. How can I tell?

TIA

cheers,
Len

Peugeot only made 90bhp 306 HDI. The genuine 110bhp HDI has an intercooler pipe going to a seperate radiator. Why not contact the previous owner and ask if they had it chipped. I doubt they have, or you would have been told.

Previous owner was a Pug main dealer so I doubt they had it done! If Pug only made 90bhp then why do people tale about 110bhp versions if they never made them?

Cos they were talking about 406s?

er...Pug 306 is available as 90bhp and 110bhp. The 90 has no intercooler, the 110 has an intercooler hence 110bhp from the same engine. If you chip the 90 to 110 you'll probably have overheat problems. The HDi's are popping headgaskets with far too much frequency as it.

OK next stupid question -- what's an intercooler look like and where would it be fitted?

It looks like a radiator, although often silver coloured, rather than black. On the 306 TD (not HDi) it was sat on top of the engine, on our Xantia 110HDi, it's at the front of the engine bay next to the radiator.

HTH,

You won't find one in your engine bay if you've got an Hdi... here's how they line up.

306 dturbo non Hdi = 90bhp with intercooler
306 dturbo Hdi = 90bhp no intercooler
406 dturbo Hdi = either 90bhp (same as 306) or 110 bhp (intercooler) or whatever the 2.2 litre produces.

Very few people have actually added an intercooler to the 306 Hdi. By that I mean about 10.

You've got a 90bhp 306. If it was chipped it would be advertised as they cost money and I assume whoever did it would want some back. Unless of course they blew the head gasket and wanted rid of it, but that's another story...
