Citroen C5 2008 Tourer 2.0 HDiF engine DW10BTED4
Engine reliability and common problems:
The 2.0 HDI (DW10BTED4) engine is reliable and durable, with few issues in its mechanical components, but it does have some recurring problems. Early models featured a short camshaft timing chain that was prone to stretching. This could be identified by a metallic rustling sound, especially during a cold start. While chain skipping was rare, timely replacement was necessary to avoid risk. Over time, the chain design was improved by increasing the thickness of its link plates, which reduced the issue. Hydraulic lifters can suffer from rapid wear when low-quality oil is used, causing knocking sounds after startup. In 16-valve models, this component often requires replacement when the noise persists. The crankcase ventilation system clogs quickly, which can lead to damaged hoses. Fuel system issues are also common, particularly with the Siemens high-pressure fuel pump, which is sensitive to air intrusion and can begin producing metal shavings around 200,000 kilometers. These shavings can clog the injectors and cause starting problems. Additionally, exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve clogging is a frequent issue. While cleaning the valve can sometimes resolve the problem, replacement or disabling of the EGR is often required. Other concerns include fuel leaks from injector connections and return hoses, which can be fixed by replacing seals or rubber rings. Despite these issues, the engine generally performs well, provided it is maintained with quality parts and fuel.Overall, this engine can last around 330,000 to 560,000 km if properly maintained, using the correct quality oil and fuel, and carrying out regular checks and maintenance.
The engine has hydraulic valve tappets (lifters), which provide quieter operation and do not require periodic adjustment, but are more complex in design and can cause serious engine damage in the event of failure.
