Welcome to the forum. The 8V HDi engine is a forum favourite, lasting (when properly maintained) for stellar mileages. Some people say that when the engine is at your mileage it has barely been run in! I personally have a Xantia with a 90HP HDi engine (called Gracie, due to number plate letters), and she has less mileage, but is from late 2000.

If you post up the last 8 digits of your VIN, somebody with the relevant access can let you know what your car had when she came out of the factory.

You might want to check the interval on when the timing belt should be changed. It could well be every 80k miles (or 10 years), which would mean that it would be due soon. If so, make sure to get the water pump changed at the same time (from what I have been told it can start to leak when it is disturbed, so it is a false economy to leave it), and get the aux belt kit done as well, as the aux belt has to come off to change the main timing belt. Yes, it is a large expense at the time (getting all this lot done), but it isn't that bad when looked at over the period of time the belts last.

I have yet to get this done; I am passing on information gained from this forum.

Interval for timing belt on DW10ATED motore is 155000kms / 10 years. 96000 miles?

Hi Leeroy, welcome to the forum.

In my opinion the 8 valve Hdi is the best of the bunch, I have two, one in a 406 and the other in a C5, they are generally less complicated and easier to work on than the later and 16 valve engines. My 406 has covered 222,000 miles and the C5 nearly 200,000 so they are pretty durable. As far as I know they both have the original clutches and DMFs although yours being a 90hp probably doesn't have one.

Your blue smoke maybe valve guide or seal wear but if it goes OK I wouldn't worry about it.

Another vote for the 90bhp engine here, no dual mass flywheel or particulate filter either.

My brother's 52 plate 307 is on 205,000 miles and still going strong.

thank you guys I really appreciate it,ive just had the t/belt water pump & service all done together,so hopefully shouldn't have any hassle with it for a while.
just put 250 mile on it & never missed a beat.
