BX Automatic Diesel 1769cc or 1905cc??

[alibongo]

I'm new to the BX scene and new to this forum. I want to buy a non-turbo Diesel Automatic, however I am unsure which is the better engine and gearbox? Am I right in assuming the gearbox is exactly the same for both engines? Also, what is the difference between the two engines, 1769cc and 1905cc? Finally, if anyone knows of a Diesel Automatic for sale please let me know. I'm flexible so I don't mind a project. All offers and leads are welcome.

Far as I know, they only did the auto diesel with the 1905. As for buying one, you've just missed the boat.

Thanks for the info Ken........ tell that boat to turn around and come back.

I think it set sail down the M1 to London on Saturday.

The 1769 is a turbo diesel (90hp) and 1905 is naturally aspirated (70hp) not sure ive seen an auto t/d but its a nice thought. Both very good engines providing they have been serviced regular and not overheated.

There were n/a 1769 versions and I recall some of the longer term members running them. Lacks power though, so probably not the best coupling to an autobox.

Turbo diesel autos weren't available although you could get a xantia with that set up so maybe you could transplant.
