Xsara vts general question - sherman306 - 12-06-2014
I have just picked my self up a 2001 xsara vts phase 2 for 300 quid and as the 306 is a similar car but alot more common I was wondering what parts are interchangeable from a 306 gti6 to the xsara vts?

Pretty much everthing mechanical
RE: Xsara vts general question - sherman306 - 12-06-2014
That will be handy then this.forum has so much more forsale things than the xsara one

Essentially a gti6 in a different outfit with a few minor differences like the rear beam (thicker torsion bars, a bit more negative camber and how iirc)
5 speed, odd driving position, ugly dash
It's like 106 vs saxo really, essentially the same car but ones a fraction of the price

The suspension and mist jets are better, the interior is awful though lol.

far superior ecu in the phase 2, better mpg, bigger boot
RE: Xsara vts general question - Dangti6 - 12-06-2014
Drives nicer than a GTi6 in my experience also. Gear ratios feel good and the turn in is superb.
What parts are you after for it? I broke one back along, although I didn't bother keeping a great deal of it.

I didn't know this bit, is it vastly different from the Magnetti unit in a GTi6?
Would love a Xsara VTS mk1, I think the MK2 is pretty ugly personally...

Beams do pretty good money or put it on yours
Standard front suspention will lower your 306 around 20mm an handle better too
RE: Xsara vts general question - sherman306 - 12-06-2014
Yeah the ph1 is nicer but this popped local last night for 300 quid so thought why not haha it seems nice at the mo and I want exhaust items possibly cams and other intake mods

Is multi plex with a 3 plug ecu.
RE: Xsara vts general question - welshpug - 13-06-2014
in my experience the beams are in worse condition on the later ones than early 306's.
RE: Xsara vts general question - sherman306 - 14-06-2014
Yeah my beam is low on the back but the front is standard hight so makes me think it's probably not lowered on the back just nakered haha
