  • Turbo question from a newbie

    Hi All,

    I've joined the DS3 Club after picking up my first (I hope of many) DS3s, upgrading from an 08 Citroen C2 Code.
    The model I brought was a brand new DS3 DStyle+ in Polar White with a Moon Dust roof.
    I absolutely love it inside out, but have a question about the engine.
    It's got the 1.2 110BHP Puretech S&S engine which I have read on some sites is turbo-charged.
    I don't recall this being mentioned when I brought it.
    Should this have been mentioned and would it affect the price of my insurance?
    I can of course provide pictures of the car if that is a must for newbies.

    Cheers,

    Karl

    Yes it has a turbo, it is under that little cover (heat shield) on the front of the engine. The fact that it has one is not really a selling point in this instance as its not there for sporty HP reasons but to make better emissions and fuel milage than its naturally aspirated forebear while keeping about the same power. Should they have told you? I guess but doesn't really matter. This is the future and the future is now! be happy

    edit: I wonder what this engine will do with a remap?

    edit #2: Welcome!

      It won't matter to the insurance company as the ABI already have a listed rating for it.
