If you are set on a C5 choose the 2.0 HDi then - it's more economical, slightly down on performance but same trim level

Yes, the 2.2HDI seems to come with a setr of
avoidable problems.


HJ,

Could you explain to which problems you refer? The majority of 2.2 HDi owners I know are very happy with them.

An observation, MOTEL: contributing to an online discussion group with the caps lock on is thought to be bad manners (it's a way of expressing bad temper because it looks as if you're shouting). And the word "please" wouldn't go amiss either -- these little points of etiquette help to keep what is a very varied group of correspondents on track and in tune.

Hope you don't take offence...

Also try search above, there have been several readers reporting issues with these cars (and to be fair, some saying they like them).
