Character
DV5 1.5 BlueHDi
"Replaced 1.6 HDi. Camshaft chain issues reported on early models. Later production better."
TU5 1.6
"206/306/307 16V. Same TU family as TU3 but 1.6 with 16 valves. Timing belt. Oil leaks at high mileage. TU5JP4 used in 106 GTi/Saxo VTS — great motorsport pedigree. Simple, proven."
