caddy 1.6 2010-2015 reliabilty DO NOT BUY

[McCaddyGascar]

With mine being a 65 plate, do I need to have concern over my injectors? I'm on 30k miles. If mine go, would it be more reasonable to drop a 2.0 engine in there?

I guess a complaint of a 1.6 is louder than a commendable comment or two of a 1.6 as you say.


I love my van.

The 1.6 is like a box of chocolates... unfortunately theres always one lemon. Straying away from vw here but I had a mk5 astra (bout 8 years old when I got it )and had a few people tell me they were great cars...it was right bag of s***. Spent far too much money in repairs in my years of ownership and sold it for scrap in the end. Sometimes you just get bad example.

1.6 tdi cayc engine with honeywell turbo 63 plate owner 83k on the clock remapped to 150bhp pulls and drives like the day it rolled off the production line still on original egr injectors etc and turbo and not a single problem sounds like you brought a shitttta the problem is with the bg vans british gas owned them and they get abused like an adultwork escort and do a lot of idling outside customers houses tossing there shift off so that cant be doing them much good

.....Sorry to hear you've had problems but I don't think posts like this will get you much help if you still own it and if you don't then why join here just to bitch, it's not our fault is it.

There's plenty of owners that are still running their vans over twice or 3 times longer than you had yours fault free, my own 1.9 to is a great work horse 14 years on and my newer 2.0tdi going very strong, to label every 1.6 caddy is quite ridiculous.....

Thanks for this, I'm not picking up any obvious stories on here about the 2.0tdi engine variant Caddy Maxi giving people headaches in the engine department at least anyway - sorry if this is off-topic a little as this thread was about a bad experience, just interested to learn as much as i can about the 102 bhp variant - i had a 150bhp DSG in 2019 and sold it during one of the lockdowns last year, and now I'm returning all being well soon to Caddy Nirvana
