Ford Focus reliability

[Apex King]

I own a 2001 Focus 1.8 TDI. Old fashioned reliability. It's got 380K km's on it now, or some 250K miles. Thing is: it just won't break down. However, knocking on wood and all that, at some point in time I see myself shopping for a new(er) one. From the years 2005-2007 the model you see the most in Holland now is a 1.6 TDCi. I have doubts as to the reliability of a tdci as compared to the tdi, as well as doubts towards the reliability of a 1.6 liter engine. I do my yearly amount of appr. 40.000 motorway-miles. If I'd be looking for a next car it'd probably be a focus of about 4 yrs old and with around 100K miles on it. Anyone with experience on the reliability of smaller and more modern Ford diesel engines?

You meant the TDdi right?

I've no first hand experience, but have heard reports that injectors do go on those TDCi models which put me off getting one.

Cheers, Kalniel. And yes, I didn't mean that oldfashioned!
