However you could say that about most modern diesels of that era tbh. The TDCI engine isn't all that bad, sound a bit rough and has the usual injector and DMF problems.
Top spec models are very nice places to be though imo, comfy and quiet. My dad has had quite a few, even the 2.2 ST for a couple of years which didn't go wrong once, only sold it because someone crashed into it and he lost the love for it.
Im sure the 2l TDCI isnt as bad as the people on Passionford claim, but I need people who know to think about this for me! cos im clueless when it comes to engines
TBH you need to look at actual owners reviews rather then what people say on a forum. Like I would say the HDI I have is a good reliable car with enough power for everyday work, but say that on the '6 forum and I would probably be banned.
More good than bad TBH, but those injector issues are worrying, apparently the fuel pump bearings break up, depositing bits of bearings in the injectors and rest of the fuel system.
How can I test this on a test drive?
