Hello All,
I'm very familiar with the audi engine 2.5D (TDI on 850) and the D5 engines (and they have been 100% reliable in my ownership)
I'm considering a smaller estate at the moment, and the post 2000 (facelift) v40s are looking appealing.
There does seem to be conflicting information on the 1.9D engines.
I always knew they were renault engine, and certainly up to 2000, this link would agree with that.

But from here:
http://www.parkers.co.uk/cars/review...96.aspx?page=2
there is a suggestion that the direct injection engines are new?
So i don't know if anyone can help, but i'm trying to find out if these are still renault engines, are fitted with dual mass flywheels or not (its mentioned on the honestjohn pages) and how reliable the 1.9 engine (115hp) is.
