is this a ltd edition saxo???

[shaneio]

is this limited edition as it just looks like a standard vts to me?

its got an nfx vts engine, dont all vts's have nfx stamped on the plate on the cambelt covers unless theyve been taken off??

ive asked him a few questions and asked what makes it a ltd edition, he said because its a 53 plate has an egr valve and has a standard 150bhp engine

i wasnt aware that they made a 150bhp model, they made a 170bhp model

No. Just no.

[shaneio]

Q..hi mate, can you please tell me what makes this saxo a limited edition? its got a standard vts engine in it and the nfx thats stamped on that plate on the cam belt cover is on all vts engines that have cambelt covers unless they have been removed..

A..It is one of the last vts's ever made has an egr valve and came out of citroen with 150 bhp as standard

Q..you can get saxos on a 04 plate but they few and far between, egr valves come on the later vts's and they never made a 150bhp model?

A..I have access to the dealer network mate I know how it came out of citroen but I aint gonna argue with ya either buy it or not mate if I end upp keeping the car I will still be happy its an awesome car and always puts a smile on me face

Q..to be honest mate I just wanted to tell you that your saxo is not a limited edition as stated in your title

A..Ok you've told us mate I know your wrong I have all the paperwork to back it up but thanks for looking mate

[rey]

Tell them they are beyond officially retarded both for the power claim and the price they are asking.

+ my VTS was newer than that and definitely wasnt a run out...

Love the EGR valve bit

[Manu]

should flag him for advertising false goods tbh

[craig180]

Do these morons actually know what an EGR valve does?

[shaneio]

now waiting on him sending me the proof of paperwork hahaha

[Viper]

Lets play with him

[rey]

Was gonna flag it to eBay for false advertising, but it's not easy on my phone haha

I hope you included more than that in the report. For example why it's misleading. I'm pretty sure the egay staff don't know all about saxos...

Am I right in saying that it pre-warms the cat for start-up or am I WAAAAAY off

[Manu]

think it has to do something with the emissions or something.

edit: had a look: it takes your exhaust gases back in the engine, re-mixed with air to fully burn all the fuel in there. Apparently better for emissions and fuel consumption.

[Gandi699]

It recirculates a small portion of exhaust gas into the inlet manifold to be burnt again. Reason is to bring emissions down. Basically feeding the engine its own shit

[rick_VTR]

so an EGR valve is a bad thing?

[craig180]

so an EGR valve is a bad thing?

For the car, yes. For the world, no.

[Andrewz]

For the car, yes. For the world, no.

lol surely that should devalue the car then.

[craig180]

lol surely that should devalue the car then.

No. Because it has an EGR valve which adds 40bhp to the power output that balances out any loss ;)

i asked this question :p just to be a dick

Hi, im very interested. However i may have misunderstood a bit, but what is it you are trying to say makes this a limited edition? The NFX code is on the cambelt cover for every vts? There is no such thing as an NFX engine, its a TU5JP3 engine. Or have i missed something out? Many thanks

lol thats what i asked he come back with ive got the paperwork to prove it :homme:, i said send us photos to prove then and i may buy it ;). he said when he gets in he will send me the photo but hey no photos :panic:

[LSOfreak]

he replied lol

'It is an nfx engine and this iis one of the last vts's ever made with an uprated engine from citroen'

ive replied -

'hi, i work for citroen GB headquarters in slough and im sure they kept making vts's until 2004. Im very interested in this car but what you are saying makes no sense at all. There is no such engine produced by citroen with an 'nfx' engine code, and that looks to be a standard TU engine. Have you modified the engine internally at all?'

(i dont really work for citroen gb :D *snigger*)

[blanks]

this guy seems to be a bit of a knob,
living in la la land.

sad thing is some will belive him and prob pay that money

[LSOfreak]

he replied
'I'm part of the dealer network myself and nfx is the engine code mate its had a new race exhaust put oon it and has been to a mate of mine and its running 150 I haven't remapped it coz the cars quick enough if I can't get top dollar I'm not selling it simple as that'

i said
'So what you are saying is an exhaust system has added 30bhp, is that right?'

he said
'The old nfx engine had 125 bhp this has had exhaust and my mate has tweaked a few things'

he's talking so much bullshit its unreal lol
i reported the item to ebay :)

[knight-22]

I think you guys have really upset him...

"Firstly thanks for actually asking a decent question there are so many nobs on eBay at the minute I'd take £3250 mate that's the lowest I'd go if I don't sell it I will just keep driving it I love it that much"

:homme:

[Dom]

There is such a thing as a NFX Engine though? Its a TU5J4? NFU engines are TU5JP4..

Yes the bellend don't know what he is saying, you see soo many items on eBay that are listed incorrectly or giving out shit figures. Just don't buy it.

the nfx code is just whats stamped on the plate of the cambelt cover and just relates to the jp4 iirc that nfx doesnt mean much

if hes got all the paperwork to back it up etc...why hasnt he put photos of the paper work on ebay?

[-V-T-R-]

lmao! makes for a ammusing read lol

if he checked on wiki then he would know that there isn't a limited edition saxo as it states this at the bottom:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citro%C3%ABn_Saxo

enjoy :y:

[Barry123]

That wiki page reads like it's been written by a complete mong.

[Barry123]

Sorry I've just realised 'mong' is also interchangeable with 'saxo driver'.
