The safest option is the 2.0 and 2.2 16v EW10/EW12 (verdict “With caution”). Outside the engine, 4 documented faults affect 2003 cars, such as wear of the dual-mass flywheel and clutch.

Going by the documented faults, they are the same: the same engines and the same faults affect the 2002 and 2003 cars. Choose on condition, mileage and maintenance history.

According to our score, the best is 1999 (7.0/10). The year with the worst score is 2005 (6.4/10). Each year's score counts only the engines sold that year and the faults that affect those cars.

The most important ones documented for 2003 cars are: dPF clogging with additive, especially on the 128-138 hp version (2.2 HDi, high severity), turbo faults, somewhat more frequent on the sequential twin-turbo versions (2.2 HDi, high severity), piezo injector wear and failure (2.2 HDi, high severity), wear of the dual-mass flywheel and clutch (gearbox and clutch, high severity) and dual-mass flywheel wear, less frequent than on other HDi engines (2.2 HDi, medium severity).
