I recently bought a 2.0 TDCi and have been having a few problems with it that I can't seem to get sorted. Very lumpy tickover, heavy diesel consumption (which I believe may be the norm for this model - 41 ish mpg) and now a leak has developed from somewhere round the windscreen in heavy rain.
Ultimately I feel I may have bought the wrong model and maybe even car and am considering cutting my losses and swapping it for a 1.6 TDCi to ease the burden on fuel at the moment.
The 2.0 has the Duratorq engine that I am familiar with and always found to be very robust and reliable from a MK1 Focus whereas (I understand) that the
1.6 has the lighter DPF engine?Is this as reliable a unit as the Duratorq and have there been any particular problems with it? Is there enough torque from the 1.6 unit and any advice on the best variant to buy (Zetec/LX etc) much appreciated.
