Yep they do make them in 1.5turbo diesel,not many jap diesel know without a hair dryer on it and dci is renault same as nissan colaborated with renault on the nissan primestar and traffic,same van,same engine different badge slapped on them
 
what! :0 so it is a tdi, i dont think so like, but ill find out, yeah also vauxhall have a van to the traffic and primestar, dunno name tho....
 
yeah you can buy a golf 2.0l SDI that doesn't have a turbo.

I preffered my old non turbo diesels, less revvy and they just felt a bit more indestructible. I find it hard to beleive some days how fast my opel diesel vectra revs (2.2 DTI in veccy-c is izuzu based opel developed unit) it's horrible. Still it's got a really loud bypass valve, vrooom tsss, vrooom tsss
 
Had I known it was a Renault engine I'd have thought twice about buying one! It's been fine up to 35,000 miles but just lately things have started to fall off it.

It took 2 1/2 hours to get the alternator off, the engine has to be dropped to get the bolts out. Just fixed that and now it's started loosing power once it's warmed up.

Anyway, mine is certainly a turbo, tiny little thing it is though.
 
The 86bhp and 82 bhp are turbo intercoolers. The lower output 65bhp doesn't have the intercooler. They also do a higher output 106bhp version of the 1.5 dci unfortunately not available in the Micra (that would really shift). The 86bhp has loads of midrange pickup and 70+ mpg on a run :eek:
