2.2HDi's opinions please

As said mine is an early engine and runs great but does get looked after.

I think it is down to correct or incorrect as most would of had maintenance, unfortunally most will be in that state now..

Is it the fact they stretched the service intervals too far, like the renault laguna 2 DCI?? Or shear misunderstanding of the Eolys etc?

[myglaren]

I think that all the C5 (and other C-models) service intervals are wildly optimistic.

Since replacement engine fitted I have changed oil 3 time, fresh oil at install, 1000 miles later engine flush and new oil, 200 miles later fresh oil again.

Will get replaced every 6000 miles from now on, does help that I work at garage so only a 15 minute job after work.

Sounds good.
