Character

DT17 2.7 HDi V6

"407/607/C5/C6. Ford-PSA-Jaguar co-developed V6 diesel (same as Jaguar/Land Rover 2.7 TDV6). Turbo failure. Injector issues. DPF. Timing chain. Complex and expensive to maintain."

TU3 1.4

"15 million TU engines made. Simple cast iron block. Timing belt (not chain). Head gasket can fail on very old units. Incredibly cheap to maintain. 206/207/C3 workhorse. Over-engineered for what it does."
