Had two of these this week broke down , on both the fuel pump disintegrated , metal fillings all through fuel system , total disaster , they should have these pumps recalled , if you have one "shake your ass" and get rid pronto.

This is the worst diesel I've ever driven.... vans are better than these

The turbo lag is unbelievable... you need to rev to 2500-3000 before changing just in order to keep it going, any less and after changing it dies and hardly moves. Definitely not what you expect from a modern diesel.

Presumably avoid Nissan's with the 1.5dci then too? since it's borrowed from Renault. The ones I've heard and driven didn't sound or feel particularly inspiring.

I had a company car Megane 1.5TD in 2008 , brand new. Great for the first 50k then fuel consumption dropped dramatically.

As for performance it was a real flying machine!

The 1.5 Dci engine is really good, plenty of torque and enough power, i would guess that it might be a bit underpowered in a megane but it certainly is a good engine, it is in some of the Mercedes B class diesels.
