Character

BlueHDi 1.5 (DV5)

"Replaced 1.6 HDi. 308/3008/C4/Corsa diesel. Camshaft chain improved on later production. Good commuter."

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."
