Is it Renault that makes the Ford diesel engines? Don't they also make the
Nissan diesel engines also?

Thanks,


John.

All the Ford diesel engines are made by Ford, with the exception of:

- The 1.4/1.6 in the Fiesta/Focus
- The 2.0 in the Focus (but the 2.0 in the Mondeo and Transit is Ford's
own).

These engines are made by PSA. Ford is in the process of installing its
own production line for the 1.4 and 1.6 variants in Dagenham. Also,
Ford's engine facility in Sweden produces some of the 2.0 PSA units.

Oh christ- we'll be back to noisy, slow, un reliable Ford diesels again
then...

I see they have re-re-re-re-hashed the 1.8 Endura DE (TDci) and slotted it
in the new Focus, again...

OK, so which firms makes 'good' diesels? Who makes the Nissan diesels - is
it Peugeot?

Wrong question - I know one of the French makers is supposed to make good
diesel engines? If so, which one is it?

No - Renault, as per AstraVanMan's reply.

Well, Citroen/Peugeot (commonly known as PSA) have often been known as
making the best diesels of the French lot, but the Renault ones are pretty
good these days as well.

Fiat / Alfa.

No. Renault.

Thank god, 'cos the old Nissan TD lump from the P11 Primula was dire.

Shame, really, 'cos they're cheap, well built, reliable and not too bad
to drive.
