Seeing that this engine is now available in the new new MINI made me think, this must be about the most widely available engine these days, knocking previous favourites (various VAG lumps and A-series) into a cocked hat. Let's see now:
BMW MINI
Citroen C4
Citroen C5
Ford Fiesta
Ford Fusion
Ford Focus
Ford Mondeo
Mazda 3
Peugeot 207
Peugeot 307
Peugeot 407
Volvo S40
Volvo V50
Can anyone think of any more?
But more seriously, is this good news for indy garages? - i.e. will the same engine diagnostic computer work on all these models?

My Berlingo!

Volvo now offers it in the C30 too.

Yes, how could I forget the Berlingo and Picasso! But I thought the C3 still used PSAs 1.4 HDI?
I forgot the PSA/Ford 1.6 HDI is also available in the Pug 1007. And of course the C4 Picasso/Grand Picasso.

It still does but the 1.6 HDI is available too.

Didn't think it was in the Mondeo? The Ford folk seem to be happier to use their own 2.0TDCi and 1.8 TDCi in various states of tune (released in new S-Max and Galaxy etc), which surprised me, as I thought it was generally regarded that the PSA units were better? It did occur me when I bought my Focus with this engine, just how common an engine it is...

Don't think there will be a 1.6HDI Mondeo. But the S-MAX. new Galaxy, and new Mondeo do use the Ford/PSA 2.0 TDCi engine instead of the current 2.0 TDCi in the current Mondeo. Not sure about the 1.8 TDCi though.

The Ford/PSA 1.6 (90 and 110ps) and 2.0 (134 and 140ps) are related, they are both belt cam 16v engines, there is a 2.2 version in the 407 and C5 which will also appear in Fords soon.
The Ford 1.8 engine is based on the mechanically fairly old unit used in the Mk I/II Mondeo amongst others though is refined and punchy, it is 8v and belt cam, it is used in the MkI Focus (100 and 115ps), new Focus (115ps) , S-Max/Galaxy and new Mondeo (100 and 125ps).
The Ford 2.0 (115 and 130ps) and 2.2 TDCis used in the current Mondeo and X-Type (and variants in Transits) are 16v chain cam engines, they cost more to produce that the belt cam Ford/PSA units in part due to the economies of scale in prodiction of the latter as illustred by the OP re the 1.6.
