But from what i read, the new 1.5 had a few issues with a certain part, and that's expected since it's the new HDI engine, but the 1.6 is a well driven engine with good reputation. Also the 1.5 uses more Adblue than 1.6 since it follows the newest strict emmision rules. The good news.if you DO have a 2.5L (B2500) engine, then this engine is a NON interference engine - which means, if the cambelt did snap, your engine would not suffer any internal damage, compared to interference engines.
