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."

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."
