2.0L HDi (DW10CTED4)
Diesel
Accelerate firmly through all gears and then perform downshifts using manual mode. | Note: The Aisin AM6 automatic transmission can develop 'thumps' or shift flares if the ATF fluid hasn't been changed. In NZ, these are often falsely sold as 'sealed for life'.
Drive over uneven surfaces or speed bumps at low speeds. | Note: Listen for knocking from the front end; top strut mounts and anti-roll bar links are frequent failure points due to the weight of the 2.0L diesel engine.
Operate all windows, the electric handbrake, and the heads-up display multiple times. | Note: French electronics of this era are prone to 'ghost' faults. Specifically, the electronic parking brake motor is a high-cost failure item in the NZ market.
Check the dashboard for 'Risk of Particle Filter Clogging' warnings after a 15-minute drive. | Note: The DW10CTED4 engine requires regular motorway speeds to regenerate the DPF. Short-trip urban use in NZ cities leads to expensive soot buildup.
Standard synthetic oil service (5W30 C2/C3 spec) and multi-point inspection of the braking system.
Major service including replacement of the fuel filter, engine air filter, and a full brake fluid flush.
Critical milestone for timing belt (cambelt) and water pump replacement; also requires Eolys DPF additive fluid level check.
Timing belt and water pump replacement (every 10 years or 100,000km for NZ conditions).
Eolys (DPF Additive) fluid reservoir top-up and counter reset via diagnostic tool.
Automatic transmission fluid (ATF) drain and fill to preserve valve body health.
Regular cleaning of the plenum chamber drains to prevent water ingress into the cabin electronics.
Battery health check; start-stop functionality is highly sensitive to voltage drops on the 2.0L HDi.
Estimated repair costs if issues arise
Essential preventative maintenance; failure results in complete engine destruction.
Required if the vehicle has been used primarily for short school runs or city commuting.
Common failure where the unit seizes; requires specialized diagnostic pairing.
Proprietary additive system for the diesel particulate filter; must be done by a specialist.
