dont think so as the newer vtr's are 98 bhp and have a 3 plug ecu where as the mk1 has a single plug ecu.

As above is right, but if its older than 2001 mk2 it should still be a single play ECU!

well i have brought it like this, but having a look at the wiring its pretty gash, its got all the mk2 bits on it, looks like the previous owner took the end of the mk1 loom and cut it and attached it to mk2 so it works, cant be sure though heres a pic of the ecu..

yeah goes like a train too, not one problem with the engine or electrics, other than the engine light up on the dash, but if you do this citroen will no longer have anything to do with the car , as i found out.
