Removing the filter is a workaround that gets you slightly dirty oil to the turbo instead of no oil at all. Mekonomen (a Swedish chain of mechanics) have designed a sump that solves the drainage problem, the permanent fix is to fit one of those in place of the OEM one, I believe the official policy for PSA here in Denmark is to do exactly that.

I can't imagine how embarrassed their engineers are right now.

Wait what? How is the oil not being supplied directly from the oil filter? Most VW and Mercs supply their oil directly post filter, how the hell is that not enough filtration for the turbocharger?

And why would you put something that could obviously get easily blocked right before the turbocharger?

If they are going through the trouble of filtering the oil to the turbo, they should've gone the next step and added a high pressure bypass valve so if the filter clogs the turbocharger still gets oil

Yeah, most popular thing is to just bypass the EGR completely, but sucks if you live somewhere cold because it takes longer for the motor to warm then.

Based on previous experience of PSA build quality, I have a hard time imagining them giving a poo poo.

I can only speak from my own experience, but my 406 runs as smooth as anything and hasn't got a single spot of rust despite 12 years on the road including winters. I have one issue with it, a broken speed sensor, which was cheaper to replace than I thought. Sir Cornelius has one as well with more miles than mine, he's had very few problems with his, too.

My parents are on their second Citroën C5 now, no major problems to report from them either, apart from normal wear and tear (my mom has a 50km commute each way).

Of course, none of those cars are turbo nor diesel, which is probably a factor to consider ;)

As long as people keep spreading rumors, people like me will have plenty of great, inexpensive used cars to chose from.

It probably doesn't affect the DW engines. The 1.6 is a newer design from the DLD family, which was co-developed with Ford. The only real issue I've heard with the DW engines are EGR valves sooting up (as seen above on a VW engine), which I think is common to most diesels. EGR blocking kits are available, if you're worried.

If your engine is a 1.6l TDCi from Peugeot (PSA), then it might very soon end up being a mechanical failure - you need to remove the filter from the banjo bolt which supplies the oil to the turbo. If that filter gets blocked (the problem is caused by badly designed sump. Removal of the sump drain plug does not result in total removal of old oil. Leaving sludge in sump.at some point due to the way the oil sump is constructed), your turbo will fail.

Well why do you think the turbos only four month old? Yep, exactly that problem killed the last one! We've taken the filter out of the bolt when we replaced the turbo.

Hyundai/Kia seem to have solved this problem by software and valve design alone, along with a couple of other makes. VAG and the various japanese brands continue to struggle.

High ratio rockers and supa stiff valve springs don't play nice together. Or they don't have the right valve springs for that amount of total lift and they are collapsing/binding.

They had around 30k miles on them and he beat the absolute poo poo out of his car. I'm pretty sure the springs lost their... springyness, and were compressing too much.

One of toyota's biggest and most retarded mistakes is putting the egr outlet and valve in front of the turbo instead of directly at the manifold, as well as using a valve that pulls open instead of pushing and an egr stream that comes in perpendicular to the flow of air. It's all just lovely lazy design.

I'm not an expert on oiling systems, but some googling leads me to believe that it's a common occurrence, for whatever reason. But obviously not in conjunction with a sump that doesn't allow you to drain all of the old oil from the engine.

They got it right slightly better on the 1KZ motors- the EGR valve is on the end of the intake manifold at the back of the block, so you only feed a constant stream of poo poo into #4's runner instead of caking the intake pipes and manifolds on all cylinders

Don't worry, the 1KD rectifies that issue and goes back to the lovely old design. Just because.

I call that "culling the herd" ;)

But seriously:

  • My 2000 Peugeot 406
  • Sir Cornelius' 2001 Peugeot 406
  • My parents' current 2007 Citroën C5
  • My parents' old 2001 Citroën C5
  • My uncle's 2001 Citroën C5
  • 199x Peugeot 205 that belonged to a colleague at my old job and made 250km trips back home every weekend
  • My dad's 2011 Peugeot Boxer company van
  • My dad's previous company vans, 2x 2009 Peugeot Expert
  • My dad's company vans before that, 2x 2002 Citroën Jumpy
  • My dad's secondary company van during that time, a 2002 Citroën Evasion
  • 1998 Citroën Xantia my dad got as part of a trade for an old car

I think my dad may have had 3 of the 2002 Jumpys at one point, but my memory is failing me. Out of the 13 PSA cars that my friends and family have driven and currently drive, only one has had a failure that could be described as even remotely serious, and that was a broken electric cooling fan on the Xantia. Perfectly driveable, as long as you didn't idle for too long. Other than that, there has been a stuck CEL or two and couple of minor things like that, we use our cars, it's inevitable. We also take care of them and keep them maintained.

And yeah, the soft-touch rubberized trim in Citroën C5s does disintegrate, that's just how they are after a couple of years of wear. They went away from that design for a reason. No show-stopping faults on any of the cars, though. If you want to talk sucky cars, my go-to car is the 1996 Mercedes C250 diesel my parents drove before their first C5. That car was nothing but trouble.

Jeez, I actually had no idea how PSA-mad of a crowd I actually run with. Take that as you will :)

That night we performed the rite and opened the gate.
Halfway through, I went to fix us both a coke float.
By the time I got back, he'd gone insane.
Plus, he'd left the gate open and there was evil everywhere.


My S2 106 Rallye was an awesome little car. When the original 8v engine gave up I just threw in a 16v from a GTI and kept on trucking. The best story I have about these was a friends GTI blew a piston ring on the way to Bruntingthorpe and we just make a catch tank from a water bottle and some samco hose and out he went doing 2 mile top speed runs in it and every 10 minutes came in and dumped the contents of the catch bottle back into the engine and went back out. Sure it smoked a bit but it worked. Next day we go and pull a bottom end out of some other PSA car running the came 16v TU engine and swapped it over on his drive and it fired up first time and was ok until he sold it a few years later.

Sure the interior squeaked and rattled but it was fun.

Imagine how much more sad and lonely we would be if not for the hard work of lowtax. Here's $12.95 to his aid.


Mechanical failure: Some local car tuner who looks like pink flesh with eyes and a baseball cap thinks it caught fire because he rushed mounting the gas tank. I'm thinking it was divine intervention, friction and an improper mounting.



Potential failure: He's got an NSX. Never seen it on the streets and I'm praying it's been kept tasteful.

Mental failure: Another local tuner has a Murcielago body-kit on something that sounds like a barely running tractor engine.
