    Partially true the 1.5 unit is also used by datsun, and mercedes in various modified forms valve  configuration being one of the big differences.

    It's not true...  The Renault/Nissan/Dacia 1.5 DCi isn't the same engine as the Ford 1.5TDCi.  The Ford one is a newer version of the 1.6TDCi.

    Just because displacement is the same doesn't mean its the same engine.

    The Ford 1.5 TDCi, is a "fork" of the design of the 1.6 TDCi/HDI jointly developed with PSA (Peugeot).

    PSA continued to develop it as a 1.6, Ford downsized, and it's now only a Ford engine, (although probably the odd part still the same as the 1.6 PSA).

    The 2.0 TDCi is still very much the DW10 PSA engine though.
