Character
TU5 1.6
"206/306/307 16V. Same TU family as TU3 but 1.6 with 16 valves. Timing belt. Oil leaks at high mileage. TU5JP4 used in 106 GTi/Saxo VTS — great motorsport pedigree. Simple, proven."
DV5 BlueHDi
"308/3008/C4/Berlingo. Replaced DV6. AdBlue/SCR system. DPF standard. Improved over DV6 but still diesel = city driving concern. Highway use: excellent economy and reliability."
