Character

DV6ATED4/DV6TED4 1.6 HDi 16v

"First-generation 16-valve 1.6 HDi (also Ford 1.6 TDCi, Volvo D4164T, Mini One D). Carbon in the oil blocks the turbo feed pipe and pickup strainer and kills the turbo — even dealer-serviced engines have done it twice. Leaking injector seals start the chain. Buy only with proof of short oil intervals and a turbo done with new feed pipes."

XU10 2.0

"405/406/Xantia. Older XU family — cast iron block. Turbo 16V version (RFS) in 405 T16. Timing belt. Head gasket on turbo variants. Simple, proven, cheap parts. RFS turbo is a classic."
