Have a look on Ebay and see how many high mileage Hdi C5's and Xsara's there are for sale. De ervaring van j.laan met een Fiat Scudo 2. The new Hdi's from 2002 onwards got a new gearbox which allegedly solved the earlier problems. The 1.9d dispatch had the same gearbox with very few problems. They never did anything about re-routing the water drain pipes from the windscreen that were the cause of the problem in the first place. ![]() Citroen/Peugeot's solution was to fill the gearbox housing upper casing with resin so the water would run off rather than pond in the strengthening blocks. (Not saying that this is the reason in every case as they did have oil pick up problems with some engines and hence not driver related.) Gearboxes were an issue in earlier Relay's and in most instances was caused by water ingress into the gearbox through the selector shaft. The couple of failures on Hdi engines that I had involvement with were the result of driver neglect and abuse. The Hdi is the best out there, the reason why Ford was so eager to get the Hdi (rebadged Tdci) for their cars and vans. If you plan to keep the vehicle for a while and if you do any reasonable mileage, the Hdi, although more expensive initially, will probably be the better bet in the long term IMO.įtp - won't worry about engine reliability. It is a very different story for the 1.9-litre, which struggles in un-turboed format with a rather paltry 69hp at 4,600rpm and 169Nm of torque. Fuel consumption is noticably better but we will check when we fill up next time. The 2.0-litre unit pumps out a lively 109hp at 4,000rpm and 339Nm of torque at 1,750rpm, buzzing this van along at quite a lick, even when loaded. ![]() I've just changed my 1.9d Citreon Relay for a newer Hdi model.
