Nismo22 Neutral Newbie July 12, 2011 Share July 12, 2011 (edited) both parts are equally expensive and labour is equally expensive, fc wise , the dci85 engine is not bad , but for wear and tear , dont know yet , its still new, base on previous dci 65 , it has this fuel pump problem , keep failing , for dci70 , its alternator is not as lasting as other makes. and its electronics can just spoil all of a sudden. eg, the relays , making it such that u cant shut off ur engine from ejecting the key. citroen , its spare parts are rare. fc wise i cant comment , nv driven one before , problems wise , at least its more lasting than the renault. thats for sure . but for the new facelift models , im not too sure. the new dci85(renault) has a clutch design flaw though , 3k to replace , doesnt last very long.

Nismo22 Neutral Newbie July 17, 2011 Share July 17, 2011 u might wana consider the Volkswagen caddy , the old turtle shell is running on euro 2 engine , problems aint alot and the parts are more lasting than the kangoo and berlingo , but comfort wise , lose, , or u can try the newer 2.0 volkswagen sdi , just dont get the tdi DSG gearbox one , the dsg has issues . other than that , vw has lesser problems than the rest. do consider Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
