I've read several times that the Peugeot 306 diesel has a habit of blowing engines - con rod probs or something???
Should one be wary of all the diesel engines in these cars or are only certain ones potentially problematic?
ie which years and engine types
|
Only certain xud's have the problem.
97/98 where the years that they were installed. Do a search on this site, there is loads of info on the problem as it also affected the Citroen ZX.

You need to look at the engine number - if it has the code DHY in it beware as these are the ones that have problems. The earlier 1.9TD cars and the later HDi's are fine

Thanks for he info. very helpful. Speaking with someone today who should know, he told me that on the late 2.0 HDI, the fuel pump in the tank can break up with copper filings going through the injection system resulying in a worst scenario of new (4) injectors needed at a cost of £1000 parts as well as a new pump (£500) ouch.
Does this sound familiar??
