CasperGTI Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 306 hdi No way, crap engine mabe good for economy but crap crap crap, i mean it uses that blue stuff that costs loads to fill up.You want a good old 306 1.9TD. thats where it is at! and you could easily get 2 for £1500. Mine cost 600 nearly three years ago on 103k, its now on 149k and still going like a beast, absolutely no running costs, bar a few service items.Mechanical fuel pump is almost indestructible!

RobG Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 was on original turbo and clutch at 127k when i sold itYeah when I sold mine at similar milage it was still on original clutch and turbo. Crankshaft pulley was replaced when the timing belt was done at 100k, apparently it came off in two pieces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDGM Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 The only diesel in the 106 is a 1.5 NA lump. I cant imagine how slow and unrefined that is We had a new 1.4 diesel 106. It wasn't too bad and did 70mpg pretty reliably. Other than that, I'd go Citroen AX 1.5 diesel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiamD Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 Well I put my money where my mouth is...Bought a mk3 tdi last week. Air con, electric everything, heated leather, dropped on p-slots, but unfortunately it's matt black. Failed it's mot on a ball joint and a small bit of welding. Car cost £300 and needs maybe £70 worth of work... Laughing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
