Citroen Dispatch - servicability - roeman

I am considering changing from a 1.9td fiat scudo to a 1.6hdi citroen despatch.

The scudo has been a reliable work horse for the past 5 years,but now with the price of diesel being so high,i am looking for the same reliability,servicabiliy,performance but with much improved mpg.

I have the same engine in a 407 I am using at the moment cannot fault it and 150k mile cam belt changes could be a winner for you.

The PSA DV6 1.6HDi diesel engine is bullet proof, BUT the oil must not only be changed every 20,000km12,500miles, the old oil must be thoroughly drained out. Do not skimp on non-PSA oil filters, use the genuine article.

This engine will run for ever and give excellent mpg.
