Hi there,

It all depends what model/engine you get.
Ive got the 1.6hdi engine (DV6TED4). This engine is used in most fords/masdaz etc.

In the 407 however, this engine is susseptable to turbo failure. Mainly because its always under load. (such a heavy car and such a small engine). My engine has done 110k and is on its second turbo.

It is kept realitivly clean compared to the 2.0hdi. It also averages 60mpg and it is much more reliable compared to the 2.0hdi. It is much easier to maintain, as most of the components are visable unlike the tucked away 2.0 .
