They are not well regarded in the UK - they are renowned for turbo failure (possibly due to the extended service plans most leased vehicles are on nowadays). I imagine if well looked after, it's an ok engine.

The DW10 is not a patch on the XUDT, at least in my Luddite opinion.

On a sidenote, Siemens fuel systems are also not so appreciated in Brazil, mostly due to the lack of independent maintenance outlets able to provide technical service, while the Bosch fuel systems are not only more widespread but also easier to find service.
Yep, same here, not particularly loved .
