Verdict for the versions it uses

  • 2.2 HDi 128-138 (DW12 TED4, single turbo, 2000-2006)2000–2006 · 128–138 hp · DW12, DW12TED4

    With caution

    Fiches-auto documents a recurring DPF clogging problem in this version (98 cases out of 277 reviews); check the maintenance history of the DPF and the additive system before buying.[2]

  • 2.2 HDi 170-175 twin-turbo (DW12 BTED4, 2005-2010)2005–2010 · 170–175 hp · DW12, DW12BTED4, ZSD-422

    With caution

    The two-turbo system adds mechanical complexity; fiches-auto records a significant number of turbo cases in the twin-turbo versions, although, according to the same source, it does not amount to a chronic problem.[2][3]

Faults that affect the 607

  1. High severityFrequency: CommonEmissions controlDPF clogging with additive, especially on the 128-138 hp versionThe particulate filter (DPF) with additive on the 2.2 HDi has a documented recurring problem in the 128-138 hp version (98 cases out of 277 reviews on fiches-auto); the more powerful twin-turbo versions show far fewer cases. The emissions fault warning light comes on and, if ignored, the car loses power.
  2. High severityFrequency: OccasionalTurboTurbo faults, somewhat more frequent on the sequential twin-turbo versionsThe 2.2 HDi comes in single-turbo versions (128-156 hp) and twin-turbo versions with two turbochargers in sequence (170 hp and up). Fiches-auto does not consider it a chronic problem, but it does record a significant number of turbo cases across all power outputs, somewhat higher on the twin-turbos.
  3. High severityFrequency: OccasionalInjectionPiezo injector wear and failureThe 2.2 HDi uses third-generation common-rail injection with piezo injectors at up to 1,800-2,000 bar. Fiches-auto documents injector cases across several power outputs, without it being the most repeated fault, with symptoms of hard starting, jerking or higher fuel consumption.
  4. Medium severityFrequency: RareClutchDual-mass flywheel wear, less frequent than on other HDi enginesThe 2.2 HDi has a dual-mass flywheel but, unlike smaller HDi engines such as the 1.6 HDi, fiches-auto does not document a chronic problem: very few cases in the tables consulted. Even so, it is a wear part: vibration and knocking are the signs to watch for before buying.
