2.0 BlueHDi 120/150/163/180 (DW10FE / DW10FD / DW10FC, 2013-2021) engine: faults and reliability

PSA/Ford 2.0 HDi, BlueHDi and TDCi (DW10) version

With caution

Mechanically it is the most reliable version of the family, but the AdBlue tank can crystallise; it is a fault the OCU has reported in Spain and which Stellantis partially covers with a compensation programme for vehicles from 2014 to 2020.[1][2][3][4]
