Differences between 150 and 155 THP?

[DickiJ]

If it makes you feel better my ds3 150 has 19k miles on it and the dealer has confirmed that there's no record of warranty work relating to the engine been done on it.

Also in the last month there was a recall which issued a software update to prevent illumination of warning lights due to lack of power

Resurrecting an old thread... I'm confused I thought that my DS3 was a 150 because it was first registered 07/2011 but looking at my paperwork including the Carte Grise (registration document) it is listed as being a 155 - I thought that the 155's came later than 07/2011?

The french Wikipedia article about the DS3 says that the THP155 was introduced 10/2011.

Thanks, that's what I found so I have no idea why mine is described as a 155 on all the documents :confused:

You can tell which you have if you check the ecu number.
MED17.4 is 150THP euro 4
MED17.4.2 is 155THP euro 5
Also you can check your engine code which you can see within the vin number on windscreen. Engine type will be F something
For example xxxxxxxFRxxxxxxx, could be FX, FS or FV.

Thanks, how do I find the ecu number? I have the engine code which is FR8 which I have read is a 150THP (the code for the 155THP being FV8) but all the documents describe the car as 155THP inc the registration document.

Yes FV is definately 155THP
My car is FR, late 2011 150THP

That's what I thought, it's very strange.

Do you have the cars history? Has it been with Citroen for any length of time before you bought it?

Bought from a garage 2 years ago, don't know it's history before that, what are you thinking?

That there's a possibility it was a THP150 at some stage.. Purely speculation.

I'd ask the garage but I don't want to flag up anything that might cause an issue, but I'm worried it's going to be a problem when I come to sell it.
