CDT - CDTi which is the best and what is the difference?

[fiddlesareus]

Hi all,

I want to buy another 75 but would like somebody to expalin the difference between CDT and CDTi.
Back in 2008 I owned a CDT top spec car and it was a delight, but sadly had to go overseas.
Soon I will be back in the UK and I will be on the look out for a good car, CDT/CDTi top spec.

So can anybody explain these differences.

Thanks

It should say that it is a CDT, or CDTi, on the chassis plate on the left hand door pillar, visible when the front door is open.

The extra BHP of the CDTi is obtained solely by reprogramming the ECU and takes it up to about 132, from 116. The CDT can easily be upgraded by the owners of the T4 diagnostic system; some T4 owners have developed a 160 BHP version here in the UK. This is not a mechanical upgrade, it is purely electronic.

The original CDT was de-tuned from the BMW version, because BMW didn't want the Rover 75 taking sales away from their own cars!
