3 known faults with sources

Engines: 2.0 (Petrol) · 1.6 HDi (Diesel) · 1.9 D / 2.0 HDi (Diesel)

Applies if: Twin of the Citroën Jumpy (same van and engines); the German guide covers the Jumpy.

Rust, suspension, turbo and EGR on the Jumpy, Expert and Scudo (2000–2016)Known weak points

Engine / equipment: First and second-generation Citroën Jumpy, Peugeot Expert and Fiat Scudo (petrol and diesel)
Period mentioned: 1995–2016
Symptoms: First generation: rust on the body, underside and sills, worn shock absorbers, springs and brakes, turbo and the 2.0 HDi common-rail system, oil leaks. Second generation: suspension and steering, brakes, clogged EGR on the HDi (smoke, hesitation, low power), dual-mass flywheel and turbo at high mileage.
Possible cause described: Hard-used vans: the German guide attributes most defects to age, mileage and load. It cites no recalls.
Check for the garage: Check rust on the underside and sills, suspension and brakes; on diesels, test turbo, EGR and dual-mass flywheel.
Cost cited in the source: No verified estimate; ask the garage for a quote.A rough figure from the original database, not an up-to-date quote.

Engines: 1.6 HDi (Diesel)

Turbo oil starvation from injector carbonTurbo / injection

Engine / equipment: 1.6 HDi DV6 (Peugeot 207/308/3008/Partner, Citroën C3/C4/Berlingo; same engine as the Ford 1.6 TDCi)
Period mentioned: Approx. 2004–2015
Symptoms: Loud turbo whistle, power loss, blue or black smoke, oil that gets dirty very quickly. Before the failure, often a puffing or ticking from the cylinder head and an exhaust smell from an injector.
Possible cause described: The injector clamp bolts work loose, the gas leak forms carbon that gets into the oil and clogs the mesh filter in the banjo bolt feeding the turbo. The turbo is starved of oil. Replacing only the turbo does not fix it.
Check for the garage: Check injector bolt torque and carbon at their base, the turbo banjo bolt and the sump strainer.
Cost cited in the source: Turbo + full oil system cleaning: approx. €900–2,000 (estimate)A rough figure from the original database, not an up-to-date quote.

Engines: 1.9 D / 2.0 HDi (Diesel)

2.0/2.2 HDi DPF, EGR, turbo and flywheelDPF / EGR / turbo / flywheel

Engine / equipment: PSA 2.0 HDi (DW10) and 2.2 HDi (DW12), including the 2.0/2.2 JTD in the Fiat Ulysse and Scudo and the Lancia Phedra
Period mentioned: 1998–2015
Symptoms: Particulate filter warning and power loss; rough idle from a dirty EGR; vibration and knocks when starting or in low gears (dual-mass flywheel); smoke or hesitation from injectors at high mileage.
Possible cause described: The engine itself is very robust, but the ancillaries are not: the DPF with Eolys additive clogs in town use, the EGR and its cooler fill with soot, the variable-geometry turbo sticks and the dual-mass flywheel wears. The 136 hp versions have more problems than the 138 to 163 hp ones.
Check for the garage: Read the DPF status and additive level, check the EGR and cooler, check the dual-mass flywheel at start-up and measure injector balance rates.
Cost cited in the source: Forced DPF regeneration: €100–150; new DPF: €800–1,500; rebuilt injector: €200–250A rough figure from the original database, not an up-to-date quote.

Mileage cited in the database: 120,000–180,000 km. This is not a maintenance interval and does not predict a failure.
