|  Fiesta 1.6 tdci 90ps, thoughts? Looking at replacing the fabia, due to no end of problems. Not really sure what I want next but the fiesta sportvan has caught my eye.  Basically a fiesta zetec s 1.6 tdci without rear seats and panel windows  Anyone on here have any experiances with the duratorque engine, pros and cons? I enjoyed the last fiesta i drove as it handled really well.

| Re: Fiesta 1.6 tdci 90ps, thoughts? engine is generally ok , some oil leak issues , turbos can go if oil changes neglected, water pumps can leak , EGR valves stick it will be less stressed in the Fiesta bodyshell , so should give less trouble than say a focus/Volvo S40

| Re: Fiesta 1.6 tdci 90ps, thoughts? Done 5,000 miles since new in my Zetec 5dr 1.6 TDCI and Im very happy with it. Standard its pretty nippy but over the last 1000 miles the remap has proved a very good investment!  MPG is superb - 440 miles is the worst from a tank - thats 100% town driving! Expect 60mpg on a long motorway run. Lee
