Sounds like the 2.2DTi, rather than the 2.5TD

Really keep on top of the oil changes - the turbos seem prone to wear otherwise, which means you can't switch off the engine, and it revs to destruction.  Also, keep the inlets nice and clean, particularly around the boost pressure sensor and egr.


Lo, another myth....they only suffer issues if you stick to the stupid 20K service intervals (and I know Jez wont!)

The only problems these lumps have are totaly related to poor maintenance, the inlets can get gummed up.....due to poor oil changes (as per any engine), the turbos seals can go due to poor oil changes (as per any turbo engine) and the diesel pumps can suffer wear due to dirt and water getting into them due to poor servicing of the diesel filter (as per any engine).

To be honest, there actualy one of the more trouble free diesel units out there....if serviced.

I would go as far to say as they actualy have no major weakness if cared for!

Oil is cheeper than metal,  :y

And yes it is the 2.2 DTI motor  :y
