the 306 d-turbo refers to the diesel engine before the HDI

it is a different engine i believe

they are good cars imo

Yeah thats why i was looking at them, doing too many long distance journeys to see the missus these days, a diesel may be the way forward! And they are probably the best looking diesel available on my budget :A:

Still trying to find this listing in my history.... detemined to find it again :p

Maybe a turbo diesel is a turbo with a diesel engine attatched, and maybe a diesel turbo is a diesel engine with a turbo attatched, or vice versa?

Mine is a TDi PD with VNT turbo haha.
