Last night as I drove home. For all I know it's the original bottom end but man am I proud of this, I hope I can make it tick over 500k

Wow. I still have another 19,400 to go till I reach 300k! If it has reached 500k then maybe it is one of those motors that will go to 500-600k+ Is this the 190d 2.2 motor? OM601?

Awesome, seems like the 602's easily go into the 400-500k territory....I'm still considering a 300D 2.5 as my next addition to the stables......

Congrats!!
In the Citroen group, instead of " Live long and prosper!" the newsletter ends with " May your Citroen run forever"

May your diesel run forever!

Nice. I just hit 138,000 on my 602. Maybe I'll catch up next year.

What is the upgraded head you mentioned?
