i am currently looking for a 206 hdi, its for the wife, i would prefer her having a 2.0l version but shes inclined toward the 1.4...
so what are the pros and cons of both? 
BTW pockets aint very deep, it only her 2nd car. weve got around £1k

1.4 is slower...
nah apart from that not much else.
just do not get a 1.6hdi
when buying my hdi i was told by alot of people on here the 2.0 is a near bullet proof engine and will se past the 200k mark if looked after.
for 1k though your be lucky to find one that has been looked after
hope this helps

there seems to be quite a few sub 1k, but as you say condition will be suspect...
iv been told the 1.4 as issues with turbos, is that true and a common problem?
i need to point wifey drives a 2000 1.1 saxo with 141k on the clock, its broke down only 3 times in 14 months shes been driving. 1st was down a roll of insulation tape dropping into aux belt on the bottom pully and seizing the damn thing, wouldnt do anything. damn wierd.. just after we bought, nothing todo with me :). 2nd time was 1st cold spell screwed battery. and now!!! iv not had chance to find out yet due to bad weather.
But shes lost confidence and wants rid

tbh been a while since i looked for one, i bought mine around this time last year and when looking it was hard to find one below 1800 with less than 100k and fsh
not heard anything bad about the 1.4hdi only the 1.6hdi

My missus had a 1.4hdi. Brilliant car, no issues and so cheap to run. Just wasn't big enough so it had to go.
