[Vwdiesel] Jeep/ Renault diesel

[Erik Lane]

I don't know anything about Renault, but between me
and my family we've been thru about 20 of the Peugeot
505 turbo diesels. I won't claim to know everything
about them, but the ones we had were all the XD2S 2.3L
TD engine, except for one, which was the XD2 n/a
diesel. (I never heard of a 2.2L diesel in a Peugeot.
They did have a gas engine with that displacement,
which was also a turbo, I believe. But I could be
wrong.) These engines were extremely reliable and we
regularly got 250-300k on them before a rebuild. The
aluminum heads were a weak point, as well as the head
gasket. Other than that the only real problem here in
the states (where I am) is the price of the parts. A
head gasket can cost $100. I never had a problem
finding the parts, it just hurts to buy them,
especially compared to the prices of the parts for a
vw diesel. That and the mpg difference means I hardly
ever drive my 505 wagon, even tho I still have it. I
keep meaning to sell it, but don't know if I can bear
to! :)

Hope this helps. Like I said, I have no idea how
applicable all this will be to a Renault.

Good luck!
Erik
