1.6 CRDi, like it a lot..

[eye30]

Just for clarity it may be best if you also post engine cc and ps.

As an example the 1.6crdi has several ps versions.

So Horsepower and Kilowatt I understand.
What is "ps" short for?

[agentr31]

copied from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horsepower#PS

PS
This unit (German: Pferdestärke = horse strength) is no longer a statutory unit, but is still commonly used in Europe, South America and Japan, especially by the automotive and motorcycle industry. It was adopted throughout continental Europe with designations equivalent to the English horsepower, but mathematically different from the British unit. It is defined by the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB)[7] in Braunschweig as exactly:

1 PS = 75 kilopond-meters per second
(75 kp·m/s)×(9.80665 N/kp) = 735.49875 N·m/s ≈ 735.5 N·m/s ≈ 735.5 W ≈ 0.7355 kW ≈ 0.98632 hp (SAE)
The PS was adopted by the Deutsches Institut für Normung (DIN) and then by the automotive industry throughout most of Europe, under varying names. In 1992, the PS was rendered obsolete by EEC directives, when it was replaced by the kilowatt as the official power measuring unit. It is still in use for commercial and advertising purposes, in addition to the kW rating, as many customers are not familiar with the use of kilowatts for engines.

thanks Ian,i never knew about the PS measurement either. 

[agentr31]

just think of it as "nearly but not quite a HP" thats how ive looked at it, but wiki does a better job of explaining it!

Otherwise known as "DP" (Donkey Power)

[agentr31]

[eye30]

On my car when you open the drivers door there is a sticker facing you which gives the car model and ps value.

I prefer BHP but the "new" fashion is ps
