Hello,
I've just bought a 2003 motorhome with a Peugot 2.0 Hdi engine installed.
Is this engine one of the newer common rail diesels ?
Also, what's the general opinion of this engine ?

Yes.
Bloody good lump.
V.Good Engine but HDi's will only run on 30% blend of BioDeisel
Peugeot tried to make themselves look Green when revealing the news
VAG Group TDi Engines from 1998 will run on 100% blend
Expensive at timing belt replacement time as the crank pulley should be replaced along with the belt (and tensioners / waterpump etc)
Tim..
Apart from the FIE how do these engines differ from an XUD9?

Thanks everyone.
What's a 100% blend? If it's 100% anything then it's not a blend.
My new VW (2.0 tdi Touran) says "No biodiesel" in the handbook.

Well a 100% blend would be equal measures of each thingymejig - so 50%, 50%. Can't get much more blendedly equal than that.
Err no...
If the Bio-diesel is upto spec it will work with these engines just fine.
If you mean shocing veggie oil or such like in the tank then thats called SVO or WVO blending with normal Diesel and as such isnt Bio-Diesel, its just veggie oil :o)
As I understand, only until 2004. And the biggest problem with VAG TDI (note the capital "i" here) is the machines they're installed into.
