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."
TU5 1.6
"PSA 1.6 petrol from the TU family: 110 hp TU5JP4 16V in the 206, 307, C3 and Partner, 120-125 hp TU5J4 16V in the 106 GTi, Saxo VTS and C2 VTS, plus an older 90 hp 8-valve. Durable and cheap to fix: oil leaks, ignition coils and a dirty throttle body are the usual faults. The timing belt must be changed on time - a broken belt bends the valves."
