Title: 2.0 16v Post by rich1 on May 25th, 2010, 4:43pm are the scorpio 2.0 16v worth having? seems a small lump to be pulling a fair size car about ???? |

Title: Re: 2.0 16v Post by Highlander on May 25th, 2010, 7:27pm depends how fast you go ;) i always reckoned they were the quickest off the mark of all the Scorpios because of the diff ratio I think. I keep meaning to try one alongside a 24v to see just what the difference is. Definitely not the peformance you would have seen in your 24v but they dont struggle either |

Title: Re: 2.0 16v Post by Tons_of_fun on May 26th, 2010, 7:48am I spent over 2 years of happy motoring in a 2.0 ltr ultima :-) . Admitedly they arent the quickest car around, but once you have got them moving there really not that bad. |

Title: Re: 2.0 16v Post by Mike H on May 26th, 2010, 1:28pm I agree, now mine is sorted properly still manages to take a few people by surprise. Baiting BMW owners is a good game ;D Tip ~ turn overdrive off if you can't maintain at least 60 mph. (I'm talking auto of course) Pretty sure it's got two power steps, one at 3,500 and 2nd at 4,000, @ >4,000 it can tramp on a bit! But given it's age I take that as a max. I read somewhere it's descended from the RS2000 engine I think. Tiny bit of vibration around 3,000, even then only occasionally, otherwise dead smooth. |

Title: Re: 2.0 16v Post by lleewar on May 26th, 2010, 1:50pm I agree with with the other comments. Not slow off the mark, smooth as hell, gets to speed and stays there. Your right Mike, it is an uprated RS2000 engine so preety good. |

Title: Re: 2.0 16v Post by lleewar on May 26th, 2010, 2:09pm Rich, as Stuart says, certainly some differences between the two but the big thing between them is the economy. One will get you from A to B quicker than the other but will cost you more to do so!! |

Title: Re: 2.0 16v Post by rich1 on May 26th, 2010, 8:21pm cheers people , speed aint really an issue with me anymore (well , not all the time anyway) and living where i do , you rarely get the chance to put your foot down anyway , got my eye on a couple but wasnt sure if they where any good . |

Title: Re: 2.0 16v Post by Simmo on May 26th, 2010, 8:41pm Rich. I've had my 2.0ltr 16valve manual estate for over ten years and it is a great car with comfort and space. On a long run it will do over 30mpg and cruise all day at 70+. |

Title: Re: 2.0 16v Post by Mike H on May 27th, 2010, 5:02pm Yep! http://livinginthepast-audioweb.co.uk/images/misc/th_thumbsup.gif The auto is just about right at a shade and a bit somewhat over 3,000 which in O/D is 75 - 80 (on the clock anyway) and it will pull that all day on 05/26/10 at 20:21:49, rich1 wrote:
Provided fettled properly, not shabby at all. But like I say for mostly slow urban type running about best turn O/D off |

Title: Re: 2.0 16v Post by Tons_of_fun on May 27th, 2010, 7:30pm Rich, dont worry about the mileage m8. My 2.0ltr had been to the moon & back & was still going strong when i sold it. Pretty sure it's still going actually. Welcome back to the fold old chap :-) :-) |
