How does it manage that then, is it a totally different unit to the 2.0Hdi in the Xsara/Xantia?

Just think back to the days when Pugs & some fords had the 2.3d.65 odd bhp.Now,1.4/1.5d have more than that.Hdi 1.4,70/90 bhp.Just goes to show Diesels are catching up in the power race.Bmw have a new version of their 3.0d in the 5 series.Badged a 535d,its the same 3.0 d engine,but with 275 ish bhp.Thats the same as some of these jap "super cars"
I had an Audi A4TDI (115hp) as a company car for a couple of years - very good performance for the capacity and good fuel economy. also long service intervals. BUT, the service workshops were TERRIBLE. And the service charges expensive. And one liter of the special long life Shell Helix engine oil cost as much as a complete oil change on my XM! Plus the cambelt change necessitated removing the front, the radiator and the A/C - expensive - good job it was a company car! then there was the trouble with the front suspension lower arms (whole unit replaced TWICE, both sides) door trims fell off, injection pump blew a gasket.
If you check out a lot of the second hand VAG diesels you will see "new engine fitted" "new head fitted" on any that have gone a longer distance. So unless someone else is paying for the repairs, I'll stick to PSA diesels in the future.
