⚙️ Engines — what to expect
PSA DW diesel NA — DW8_1.9D_NA
Known issues
- Head gasket can start weeping coolant on very high mileage units (300k+ km). Not catastrophic, easily replaced on this simple engine. (~150–400 € repair)
- Glow plugs wear out with age, making cold starts difficult in winter. Common on any diesel this old. Replace as a set. (~50–150 € repair)
PSA DW10 2.0 HDi/BlueHDi — DW10_2.0HDI
Known issues
- Injector seals (copper washers) wear — causes diesel smell and possible misfires. Cheap fix if caught early. (~100–400 € repair)
- DMF wears — juddering on engagement, rattling at idle. Common on higher-mileage units. (~500–900 € repair)
- Belt every 160,000 km (BlueHDi). Interference engine — belt failure is catastrophic. (~400–700 € repair)
🚨 What to check before buying
Overall risk score: 10/10
Serious risks
- Glow plug failure (cold starts): Glow plugs wear out with age, making cold starts difficult in winter. Common on any diesel this old. Replace as a set.
- Car is 17 years old — expect age-related wear: rubber seals, bushings, water pump, AC compressor
- Higher mileage (211,695 km) — check for timing system condition, turbo health, and suspension wear
Additional notes
- Vehicle is 15+ years old. Age-related issues: rubber seals/hoses degrade, electrical connectors corrode, suspension bushings wear. Not specific to any engine, but expect €500-1,500/year in age-related maintenance beyond normal service items.
- Any car with 200k+ km requires extra scrutiny. At this mileage: suspension components are worn (bushings, ball joints, shocks), seals and gaskets are hardened, electrical connectors corrode, and major components approach end-of-life. For luxury cars (BMW, Mercedes, Audi) the cost of 200k+ km maintenance can exceed the car's value. Always get a pre-purchase inspection (PPI) and budget 15-25% of purchase price for immediate maintenance.
