Kumaros,
Yes please keep me informed. Does this Colt Clone engine manufactored
by Mercedes? Also is it 3 or 4 cyl and how many hp does it put out. And
most important please let me know its weight.
Thanks,
Bill

Bill,
as mentioned in my previous post, the Mitsubishi Colt CZ3
DID is the twin of the Smart ForFour with a diesel engine.
Besides about 80% of their parts, they share the same
engine, a 1.5 liter three cylinder aluminum head with cast
iron block 95HP at 4000RPM turbodiesel made by Mercedes,
says so right on the cylinder head. As soon as it's out of
the car I'll post exact weight data.

It's all Greek to me



Kumaros,
Thanks so much for pointing me in the direction of the Mercedes Clone.
That diesel engine is thoughout Europe unlike the forfour diesel. I see
that the Brits have the Mitsubishi Colt (Mercede) Diesel engine while
they don't have the Smart ForFour diesel model.
Please let me know what the weight is when you get it pulled.
Thanks again,
Bill
