Can anyone solve an argument. I thought the 1.4 diesel was a Toyota engine, perhaps shared with the Mini. One of my friends insists it is a Peugeot-Ford one. There is a pint on it.

Does the 1.6 engine in the Focus (which is Peugeot-Ford) have the horrible EELYOS or whatever additive.

The 1.4 engine is Toyota designed and made in Japan. Same engine in the Corolla. (I have a Mark1 Yaris diesel.).

It is chain driven - Ford/Peugeot has belt cam drive.

The 1.4 PSA diesel was only fitted to the Toyota Aygo, not the Yaris.

The Yaris uses a toyota 1.4 diesel which gives 75bhp, the corolla uses a 90bhp version of the same engine which is also used in the MINI One-D

Mark 2 Yaris diesel uses the uprated Corolla one. 75bhp in Mark1

I understand Mark1 can be chipped to 100bhp.
