Driving my Citroën Dyane 6

A short 10km ride in my Citroën Dyane 6

Thank you from the UK, I bought one brand new in December 1973, in blue, with a blue velour interior.

Nice video man love the sound of your car. Can you please do more like this one only a lot longer because that exhaust sounds amazing. Stay safe man have a good one.

Nice video. Is it a Dyane or an Acadyane?

[@Nicolas-kd5ni]

J'ai eu la même, rouge corsair🥰

Thanks for the video! I love the way you drive and shift. I can tell you know the car very well. Can I ask what kind of fuel economy you get by driving as you do in the video? Enjoy the car :)

[@Rob-rg4oe]

TheFlyingSaucePan It depends on the conditions. On average I get about 17km out of 1 liter of RON98 fuel. When driving city only it drops to 15 to 1. When it's mostly long hauls on the highway it tops at 21 to 1.

Sounds pretty good to me! Thanks for the reply

Is your Dyane stock with 32 PS?

[@Rob-rg4oe]

Yes, completly stock. Although some effort was put into having the right valve clearance and carburator tuning. Only thing not standard on the car is the electronic ignition. I've replaced the original points-system with an electronic version (but that does nothing for the power), It's running on RON98 (98 octane equivalent) fuel.

@@Rob-rg4oe Thanks for your info. How does your Dyane feel in 4th gear? Can you cruise along in 4th in slight uphill?

[@Rob-rg4oe]

@@Messergebnis-liebhaber Going uphill in 4th isn't a problem at full-throtle. When the gradiant gets to high, like on the german highways close to the Alps, I have to switch back to 3th sometimes. But driving around in the Ardennes, it's almost never needed. Speed decreases to about 85 km/h on steep highway angles, so im usually forced to stay in the slow-lanes behind a truck, because of that. But in general, going up bridges or slight inclines, does not pose a problem in 4th.

[@Messergebnis-liebhaber]

@@Rob-rg4oe Thanks for the great info! As you know, Dyane 6 gear ratios are 1.35 for 4th gear & 3.875 for final drive which means 1.35*3.875 = 5.23 overall ratio in 4th. Considering the tires (135/80/15), it delivers 21.1 km/h per 1000 RPM which means to cruise along at 100 km/h the engine has to turn at 4740 RPM. Have you ever cruised with your Dyane at such speeds or higher on the Autobahn for long periods of time? How does it feel? It is great that you said the 4th gear is flexible enough to maintain speed even in uphill roads. I'm really beginning to like Dyane more & more!

4:34 Ik vroeg mij af of je daar plankgas voor moet geven. Of zit er nog aardig wat pit in dat kleine motortje?

[@Rob-rg4oe]

Dit is niet vol gas. De motor bezit over een tweetraps carburateur. Meestal gaat de tweede trap niet open bij mij (je voelt dit in het pedaal). Dus wat ze ziet in de video is steeds ongeveer half gas (of vol gas eerste trap, zo je wilt). Helemaal vol gas geeft wel wat extra acceleratie, maar ook weer niet enorm veel. Het draagt wel bij flink bij aan het verbruik. Dat vliegt omhoog.

[@blackguitar453]

Rob de Lange Dat wist ik nog niet. Weer wat geleerd.

[@Prestone44]

@@Rob-rg4oe Helemaal correct. Men voelt de tweed trap in het pedal. Dat is het geheim.
