Hi All,

I've read up as much as possible on the limited amount of information available on the Mazda 2.2 diesel (2017).

It seems they used to be very problematic with dumping fuel into the oil, DPF blocking, EGR valves etc... a lot of the forums I've read tend to talk about pre 2017 models; making me unsure if these issues are still present in the facelift model.

I live in Bristol where I do quite a bit of stop start but a good 1.5 hr run at least once a fortnight to south wales.

Coming from a 3.0 I6 B58 BMW engine, I really didn't want a slow petrol... I like the idea of having a diesel for the torque, economy and low RPM on long runs. I wanted a VAG diesel but they just aren't as impressive as before when they were leaps and bounds ahead of the competition. The like-for-like golf was about 4k more with less kit and torque, is there good reason for this?

Is there anything I need to watch out for? I always use premium diesel and I assume it's cleaner and prevents DPF and Injector blockages, somewhat?

Be honest, if I've made a mistake I'll get rid but I'm hoping I've done the right thing. It's done 47k with full Mazda history and is on a 17 plate.
