1.8/2.2 DI-D vs 2.0 DTI and 2.2 DTI: which engine is more reliable?
According to our risk index, the 2.0 DTI and 2.2 DTI carries less risk than the 1.8/2.2 DI-D: 38/100 versus 46/100 (both moderate risk). The 1.8/2.2 DI-D has 3 documented serious faults, the main one being «Clogged particulate filter and oil dilution»; the 2.0 DTI and 2.2 DTI has 2 documented serious faults, the main one being «VP44 injection pump and air mass meter failure».
The index (0–100) weights the severity and frequency of the three most serious documented faults. How it is calculated
Is the 1.8/2.2 DI-D reliable?
Yes, in general: Mitsubishi's own 1.8 DI-D (4N13) and 2.2 DI-D (4N14) diesels have a reputation for reliability compared with the Volkswagen and PSA engines they replaced in 2010. Their best-documented fault is a clogged particulate filter with oil dilution on short journeys, along with occasional cases of injector, turbo and balance shaft problems. Do not confuse them with the PSA 2.2 HDi that the Outlander used earlier, shared with the C-Crosser and the Peugeot 4007.[1][2][3][4]
See the 4 of the 1.8/2.2 DI-D faultsIs the 2.0 DTI and 2.2 DTI reliable?
The 2.0 DTI and 2.2 DTI (X20DTH/Y20DTH and Y22DTR) are the direct-injection diesels with a Bosch VP44 pump that Opel fitted between 1997 and 2005 to the Astra G, Vectra B and C, Zafira A, Signum and Omega B. German Wikipedia documents recurring VP44 pump and air mass meter failures in its early years, and a German used-car buying guide singles out the EGR valve as its main weak point even once the engine had matured, in the Vectra C.[5][6]
