I am convinced its not what you buy, but how you look after it.
309GTI - ran to 110k
Xantia TD - put 160k on in just 4 years
Primera 2.0i auto - put 30k in 8 months
Vectra 2.0i auto - 60k in 2 years
405Mi16 - ran to 140k
Omega MV6 auto - ran to 110k
Vectra 2.2i auto - put 70k on in 2 years
Not a single engine/clutch/gearbox related problem with any of them, except a DSI unit on the Omega.
Currently we have:
Freelander TD auto - 70k in 4 years
BMW 535i auto - currently at 110k
And the Freelander has been trouble free until last week when 2 injectors went belly up, and the Beemer cost me a DIS pack last year.
All serviced at 10k or less, except company cars which were on 'schedule'.
I also ran a ZX9R to +50k with no problems.

"Subject/Concern: Loss of power; Failure of the turbocharger
Model:
Focus 2004.75 (07/2004–)
Assembly Plant: Valencia
Assembly Plant: Saarlouis
Engine: 1.6L Duratorq-TDCi (DV) Diesel
C-MAX 2003.75 (06/2003–)
Assembly Plant: Valencia
Assembly Plant: Saarlouis
Engine: 1.6L Duratorq-TDCi (DV) Diesel
Markets: All
Section: 303-04
Summary
Should a customer experiences a loss of power and by following the relevant workshop manual procedure on FordEtis you find a failed turbocharger as the root cause with clear damage to the turbocharger (turbine/compressor wheels damaged or turbo shaft broken), the following procedure needs to be carried out to prevent reoccurrence of the failure."
anything [s]with a turbo[/s] needs regular oil changes
Fixed that.
Oh and Ford, VW etc don't actually make their own turbos IIRC. They are all made by third parties.
I also suspect that with a turbocharged engine it might be worth shelling out for fancy oil rather than Asda's own. There is definitely a difference; Castrol Edge comes out of the Prius looking almost the same as when it went in, even after 15k miles.
I find it interesting that many people who've given me lifts etc seem to treat their cars really roughly. This might well have something to do with it.
never mind the turbot it's the dualmass flywheels that are troublesome
Turbot? This all sounds a bit fishy to me.... 🙂
Oh my cod, these piscine references are giving me a bad haddock.

Castrol Edge comes out of the Prius looking almost the same as when it went in, even after 15k miles
It might [i]look the same[/i] but it won't [i]be the same[/i]!!! It'll be ruined.
The layout of this engine is unusual; the turbo is at the top just in front of the engine. (Quite handy if you had to change the turbo, I suppose.)
But I have just done an oil change on one and was surprised by the amount of sludge / thick gunge that was in the crankcase breather hose.
To (find) get to the oil filter it is easier to remove the hose from the air filter to the turbo (about a foot long hose). Branching off from this hose is a smaller hose to the breather, this had oil and sludge in it.
This oil and sludge obviously should not be there, and is alarming close to the impeller for the turbo.
So not only is a regular oil change best to keep things running sweetly but a check of the buildup of sludge in the crankcase breather hose is wise. Yes there was some oil on the air filter as well.
