Binding Type Binding Type: N/A (Digital format allows for on-demand printing/binding) Paper Type Paper Type: N/A (Digital format) ⚙️ Engine Specifications Primary Engine Engine Variants: Multiple gasoline and diesel engines were offered across the production run, including: 1.4L (TU3), 1.6L (XU5), 1.8L (XU7), 1.9L (XU9, including 8v and 16v Mi16), 2.0L (XU10, including 16v T16), and diesel engines like 1.9L (XUD7) and 1.9L Turbo Diesel (XUD7T/XUD9T). Performance Power And Torque: Horsepower ratings varied significantly by engine, from approximately 70 hp for the base 1.4L to over 180 hp for the T16 models. Torque figures also scaled accordingly, with larger displacement and turbocharged engines producing more pulling power. Fuel System Fuel Delivery: Early models featured carbureted fuel systems (e.g., Solex twin-choke). Later models and higher performance variants utilized Bosch or Lucas electronic fuel injection (EFI) systems. Diesel models used direct injection or indirect injection with mechanical or turbocharging. 🔧 Transmission Standard Transmission Options: A 5-speed manual transaxle was standard on most models. A 4-speed automatic transmission was available as an option on many gasoline variants. Optional Automatic Transmission: Typically a ZF 4HP14 or similar 4-speed automatic, requiring specific ATF fluid (e.g., Dexron II/III equivalent).
