I thought I'd create this thread after slaving for hours over a hot internet to find some information on the diesel engine in a Mazda 626 that I recently bought.
It seems that the information is limited, inaccurate and spread all over the place.
I am going to add some posts with all the information I have uncovered along with links to other websites and forums where I found the information.
Hopefully we can get to the bottom of some of the "issues" of these motors.
I am not new to diesel engines, But I am for ones in cars....so this is much of a learning curve for me as it might be for anyone reading this.
to start off, there is good ol' wikipedia :
Mazda Diesel engine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In this thread I am trying to steer cleer of the S2, as its not really a Mazda engine but rather a Perkins made under licence.
Also here is a forum that I found to be useful :
DieselEscortOwners : Diesel Escort Owners
There are more, and I'll compile as many as I have into another post....feel free to post up what you know to help others out.
