Character

DV4TD / DV4C / DV4TED4 (8HT/8HX/8HZ/8HS/8HP/8HR/8HY; Ford F6JA/F6JB/F6JD)

"The small 1.4 common-rail diesel PSA built with Ford (2001-2015): 1.4 HDi in the Peugeot 107/206/207/208/2008 and Citroen C1/C2/C3, 1.4 TDCi in the Ford Fiesta and Fusion, 1.4 CD in the Mazda 2. Mostly 8-valve 54-68 hp with a simple fixed-geometry turbo and no dual-mass flywheel in most versions, so it is cheap to run and to repair. Weak spots are leaking injector seals and pipes (common before 2012), turbo failures when oil changes are skipped, DPF and EGR clogging in town use, and a timing belt whose tensioner must be changed with it. Lifespans of 300,000 km are reported."

ES9 3.0 V6

"PSA-Renault 3.0 V6 (60 degrees, belt-driven, 1997-2010) in the Peugeot 406, 407, 607 and 807 and Citroen C5, C6 and C8. It replaced the old PRV V6 and is mechanically durable (about 350,000 km is quoted), but ignition coils are a frequent failure, the four lambda sensors are costly and the timing belt is an expensive job (around EUR 1,100) that must not be skipped. Intake variable valve timing from 2000."
