How reliable is the 1.6HDI?
#1
A friend of mine has been looking at various Citroen models as a next car, including Mk 3 Berlingos and C4 Grand Piccaso. Most used examples of these that we've found have the 1.6 HDI engine.

From what I have read here and elsewhere it would seem that the 1.6HDI has had more than a few problems compared to the relatively bomb-proof 2.0HDI which my Mk2 Berlingo has. Is this a fair impression and would anyone say that the 1.6HDI is best avoided? There do seem to be a quite a few 1.6s with high mileages out there so they clearly can do it, but I can't help wondering how much money has been spent on them to get them there.

Any thoughts welcome.
