noob 306 saloon question

[tgards]

Hi all
My name is tom and I am currently looking into buying a 1997 peugeot 306 1.9Lt SRDT saloon. My main concern is whether the car is part of the batch of peugeot 306's which I keep reading about that have experienced the conrod failure.
The VIN and engine numbers are listed below
engine #: CUB14000120
Vin #: VF37BDHY231319634

I have read that engine numbers with 'DHY' in them are part of the faulty batch. I see that the Vin # includes 'DHY' but not the engine #, does this mean I'm safe?

The car has just over 100k on the clock and has been well looked after (I'm told). I hope to take it for a drive over the weekend.

Any help or advice on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Tom

There fine tbh its only common when running big power I believe but then its likely to happen to any engine regardless of batch

I have never heard of a un modified 306 diesel having con rod failure

It will be fine nothing to worry about

Apparently there was a dodgy batch but theyre probably long gone now. 15 years or so later and it's still running, I wounld worry if I where you.
