Question CDT version cdti

I've been asked what the difference is between the CDT and the CDTi.
I think it is the bhp but not 100% sure.
I'm hoping someone can answer it once and for all

Nothing more than a difference in mapping and both should be ditched for a 160 map in my opinion

An option at new purchase.

As above, simply ECU mapping.

The CDT is a dog in its standard form, the CDTi is noticeably livelier.
Both can be remapped to 160bhp but if solo I am not convinced the CDTI needs it but the CDT needs something doing to it.

apart from BHP they are I think the same vehicle

I am the owner of a CDT too. I found my CDT to be sluggish and with a caravan in tow, even on the flat, if there was a head wind had to go from 5th down to 4th. I first fitted a synergy box then removed it and had a 160 remap. I assume my CDTi is standard but it is so much better with and without the caravan then my CDT was.

And a dog is a mans best friend.

Do you find your CDT sluggish?
