BEST 2 LITRE(ish) PLODDER DIESEL .... ??
Any lovers of yr basic plodder diesel around ....?
....... fitted across a range of cars, it's said that the peugeot 1.9
diesel is one of the most sturdy and unbreakable diesel engines around
(in that size range) .... ?? if that is so why do we keep hearing of
all the head gasket probs to do with it ...? is it because it was once
a 1.5 or 1.7 litre and instead of developing a new engine they just
bored it out .... ? thereby reducing the distance between the cyls ..?
I am looking for an absolutely basic 5 to 7 year old diesel car in the
2 litre range .... definitely not turbo, definitely got to be a boring
and as simple as possible A to B'er.... Citroen Xara 1.9D perhaps ...?
.... So ? ... any ideas on your best-last-forever boring 2 litreISH
diesel engine ... (gasket problems are the absolute pits, mostly
insoluble once started on the peugeot - cyl deformation as well as the
head) so perhaps not the peugeot .......? .... (you always get the same
excuse ...."well that's strange for a Peugeot 1.9 .... all I can think
is he's been thrashing it .... it you do that you wreck any engine !")
---------o0o-------------
PS .... been looking on the Automart site and I can't get it to work
for me ..? Unlike autotrader site (useless .... dealer cars and I
want private .... the sort that USED to advertise in the local papers)
it has a range facility. You put your post code in that field ...
tho' it only takes the first bit (i.e. BB12 ...I am prepared to go up
to 20 mile) .... so that facility is OK (if it works ?). But the two
drop down boxes to the left (make and model) don't drop down .... and
the page keeps coming back telling me to fill the fields in .... well I
can't if it won't let me !! Maybe it is because I am still on WIN 98
.... and the page is too big .... still it does Ryanair and that's big !
Any ideas please ..?
cheers ......alec |

Agree totally. Previously I had a 405 with 1.9 non turbo engine (properly
called normally aspirated) gave well in excess of 100,000 miles and
currently a 406 2.0 HDI that goes like a rocket and has 112,000 on the
clock. Neither of the engines have given any problems at all. No idea
what you are talking about regarding head gaskets.
Why do you not want a turbo? 1.9 TD runs far better than the non turbo and
the HDI is far superior even to the TD and has been around since 1999 which
is the year of my 406.

Give me the 405 XUD any day,
I have had 2 405s in 12 years and no major faults,
My wife has a 1994 Rover 218, with (I assume) a Peugeot 1.8 diesel,
car runs like clockwork,

Hi Marc,

> and yes it is perhaps the most indistructable diesel engine around...
I have to agree, it's rather the XUD7 which is a under-bored version of the
XUD9.
And they are the most reliable Diesels ever made in their class, for sure,
and damn pleasant to drive.

plus you can run on bio-diesel (as stated by email from Peugeot
themselves)with no probs.
requires some mineral diesel in cold weather(anti-waxing)but otherwise
nothing else (even HDi engines ) >> Stay informed about: BEST 2 LITRE(ish) PLODDER DIESEL .... ?? |

Are you certain of that with regard to HDI engines. Some time ago there
was discussion about that on this group accompanied by dire warnings abut
using bio in HDI engines, in fact probably all common rail diesels.
Apparently, amongst other things, it screws the anti pollution system. See

Also this from the AA
http://www.theaa.com/motoring_advice/news/biofuels.html
Perhaps you would publish the Peugeot email because it appears to contradict
what has been heard so far.

OK here's my 2p.
I've had two normaly aspirated 1.9 engines, the first in a 305 the second in
a 405.
I've also had the turbo version in a 406. The turbo didn't do anything much
for the perfomace, it just gobbled more fuel.
(It was the least ecconomical of all the pugs I've owned and didn't run ANY
better or quicker than either of the two non-turbo cars)
I now have a HDi 406 with the 2.0 engine which is quicker & more ecconomical
than the turbo 406 I traded in on it.
I've done well over a quarter million miles in these motors and so far have
never needed a head gasket replaced.
I've never, up to now, heard of these lumps having head gasket problems,
appart from the obvious overheating of diesel engines generaly, which almost
always causes head warp probs and isn't in any way confined to Pugs.
I do wish Pug would make it's mind up as to what level of bio fuel the HDi
motor can stand, there's a bio garage just down the road from me. 
Djimbo.

Eeeer they once said HDi's were designed to cope with up to 30% bio (mixed
with 80% classic fuel). Needless to say I don't want to give a try with mine
