Diesel engines are not about horse power, they're all about torque, torque and again torque.
My all time favorite was my 159 Alfa Romeo 1.9 16 Valve Diesel, the way the car drove, the seats, the interior and the Giurgiaro exterior, one word : magnificient !

[hape]

Common rail was pioneered and designed by Fiat. Bosch made it available for mass production. The first car with common rail engine was the Alfa Romeo 156 from the Fiat Group. They still make some of the best diesel engines for road cars.

My Volvo v70 D5 from 2004 says hello with her 385k km rolled and still used every day. love her.

[tube-dude]

My 2007 Honda CRV with 2.2 icdti now has 403000km! 😃

[yungsock]

2.0L tdi common rail is really good too for example in the 110hp vw tiguan 1 its extremely reliable

[civitnd]

The 1.4 from Toyota is kicking ass. It really good engine and with nice performance.

[draskobabiczzz]

Mercedes om646... Power, reliable, torque... Double timing chain last over 16 years or 300k km.... Remove egr, remove swirl flaps from exaust and it will run 800k km no problemo

*I very rarely see the Rev Counter go over 2000rpm in my Mercedes (W247) 2019 AMG 8 Speed B200 CDi - This has absolutely amazed me, so so quiet, incredible range and over 35 mile journey (A6/A46) to Newark did nearly 90 mpg - hit traffic near end. This car will no doubt still be running in 20 years time and still giving good sensible practical use.*

I had an Audi 100 2.5 tdi 120 horse power i sold it whit 800.000 km never had any problem.
It was a bit noisy but it was a fine car to drive 👍👍

[hungrysurfer]

I can vouch for the 1999 PSA 2.0 hdi 8 valve 109hp. Incredible durability. After running it in about 9000 miles i remapped it to 128hp... Then drove it 504, 000 miles in 17 years. Thats over 800, 000 km. Engine was inspected at 500, 000km and looked in great condition so i kept the car, i was aimming for 1 million km then put it in a museum. Driveshaft failed in the end and left me stranded 1000 km from home. Replacement was going to take 3 working days to arrive plus a weekend and 1 day to instal it. Leaving me stuck for 6 days. So i had to scrap the car and fly back home.

The Honda 1.6 I dtec won world records for economy.

[mathiasbrenner]

406 hdi made almost 600.000km without major issues, only headgasket was changed

[JonBowe]

I had a Peugeot with the HDi 136 engine attached to a six speed box and it was fantastic. It was a pity the rest if the car was not so great, severe corrosion issues from new (2004), with Peugeot and the dealer being useless to customers.
I currently own the Volvo D5 SUV (2011) and I like the way it pulls and sounds, and the vehicle in all is top notch IMO.
I did have a Mk1 Golf diesel 1.6 litre (none turbo), that was so slow I had to book a week in advance to overtake anyone.

[racionator]

Basically every engine that can be also found in the Van is the one to get. Still fiat 1.6mjtd 2.3mjtd and psa 1.6HDI also mercedes OM646 are in my opinion the most reliable

[AlAl-wump]

I could vouch for the Mercedes OM617 and OM642 diesel engines as very reliable.

[emilch]

Fiat 1.6 multijet with 88kw euro 6 very reliable. I drove Honda and Toyota but fiat Tipo with 1.6 multijet 2017 shocked me with reliability. Never thought Italian car is reliable.

[creepypastareads]

Man this video was very interesting.
what ai voice did you use for narration it is good

[Chrisar]

Have a i30 with the d4FB engine, 145k miles and had little to no issues. Only small issue has been a slight gas leak from the EGR gasket, and a small oil weep from the valve cover gasket. Not the most exciting engine, but perfect for motorway miles and cheap to maintain and service. The Hyundai service intervals are 20k miles, which I've ignored and changed the oil roughly every 7k between garage services.

Mitsubishi 3.2 4M41 4 pots you can find in L200, Pajero and some small trucks
Great engine for reliability

3.0 TDI has chain rattle issues, had ours broken at just 100.000km
