Pulsar 1.5 dci long term reliability
Posted: Sun Sep 27, 2020 2:25 pm
Hello,
my first post in this forum just before pulling the trigger and go with a used Pulsar 1.5 dci 2016 (approx. 60k miles on the clock) model. I intend to keep the car for 7 years (or up to 200k miles), I drive 22k miles annualy 90% of them on motorway. I was wondering if someone has experience with high milage reliability.
It seems that the 1.5dci is quite mature and not many issues should be expected up to 200k miles (fingers crossed). From your experience, what else should be expected to be replaced except from tear and wear items? I consider the DMF and clutch also as tear and wear items that would defeinetely need replacement; also the EGR can be easily cleaned or replaced at a fraction of a cost.
Thank you,
Yannis
