RE: [Peugeot-L] Peugeot diesel engines are also now in...

For many years I have been a fan of pugs engineering

I have many 505s that have served me well

I work on many of the latest psa / sofim engines and I hope they improve them before they put them In the Volvos !

My experience of the xud range is ok apart from head gasket problems etc

The dj5d dj5t dj5ted engines as fitted to citroen relay and Peugeot boxer is a very poor engine, I have done 5 engine changes this year on them! Ranging between 80k and 100k miles. Ive seen pistons out of the block, bent valves, damaged hydraulics - too much to list and that’s before I get round to the very poor sofim engines!

The dj5ted tends to last 70k miles

Whats going on are they now designing their cars with a life of 3 years

My zdjls and diesel 505s are still going strong with thousands of miles on them, people used to say Peugeot diesels are just run in at 100k not any more

Regards jim

Peugeot diesel engines are also now in...VOLVOS. volvo has just had its most successful year ever, at 460,000 cars. more than half of all its cars sold in europe are diesels, and two engines of the diesel choices are the superior PSA/Ford diesel 4 cylinders, in 1.6 liters and 2.liters. The 2. liter will now be manufactured at the 65 year old Volvo engine factory in Skövde.
