Howdy all so... I need some opinions from people that have their know how's about the two engines in question. With the coronavirus in full swing I lost my job as a pick packer a few weeks ago and theres been *poo* all work available and the centrelink pay just ain't cutting it for what I need.
Basically I've sunk all my money into attempting to "fix" my Holden Cruze turbo diesel, is it fixed? We'll find out tomorrow when my new alternator gets here. I am now $6500 in debt for all the replacement *poo* I bought for it and I've honestly just had enough so I'm looking to switch to a CE Lancer.
My question is though what of the two engines are more reliable in your opinions? I have both just sitting in the drive way just waiting for a blue slip but obviously due to lack of work and no end in sight with this *fudge*in virus my funds are seriously dwindling.
EDIT : Just to clarify i'm not chasing power or anything, I just need something cheap and reliable when maintained correctly. The cruze alone costs $140 for an oil change and nothing else... And I know when I used to service my 4G15 I was able to a full minor service for $80
Thanks in advance!
