Common rail diesels do seem to stall more easily than older tech diesels though. The worst I have known in this respect was a Non-Citroen TDCi I used to drive - the HDi isn't bad in comparison!

The TDCi and the HDi are the same engine.

No some TDCi's are HDi's!.
The 1.4 and 1.6 TDCi ARE HDi's.
The old TDCi 2.0 used in the Mundano wasn't an HDi, it was a Ford engine.
ps I like the way "Mundano" is censored to "Non-Citroen" by the forum. Is that a recent thing?
You did say the a "Non-Citroen" TDCi, so unless you meant the older TDDi (dld) this wasn't a HDi engine no, but in 2005 it was a HDi/TDCi engine, which is what you said it was?

I didn't actually say Non-Citroen in my original post, I used the naughty M-word and the forum subsequently changed it!
Sorry if I didn't really make clear what model Mundano I was talking about. It was actually a 51 reg mk3 TDCi 130. At that stage they were still using the 1998cc ZSD Ford engine, which used a Delphi fuel system completely different to that of the HDi.
It was only when the mk 4 was launched in 2007 that the 1997cc DW HDi-based engine began to be used in the Mundano.
Oh yes, that is true, this was towards the end of the ZSD engine run, but before the TDCi/HDi engine.
And in 2005 the HDi engine came in to join the 1.4 and 1.6 engine thatr ford used... something like that.
It's all confusing how they like to share parts, and work together and apply different parts to each others cars over different times.
It's great that we did not argue or fall out over this issue, as some would on other forums. That's cleared then. All just lack of detail. I like detail, makes the world a simpler place.

Yes, thats what I like about this site. I think this is the only forum I have been posting on for over 7 years!
Without a doubt one of the boards most outstanding features. Unlike so many of the others people act like adults here without stifling a bit of humour when it crops up.
