The 2.7-liter twin-turbocharged V6 diesel developed 204 hp when it left the factory. The seller indicates that the mechanics work normally as well as the automatic transmission. The engine is in its original configuration. During 2020, it has benefited from an engine rebuild including the following costs:

- Replacement of cylinder head gaskets
- Replacement of the seals of the lower engine except the crankshaft spinnaker seal on the gearbox side
- Replacement of the top motor seals
- Replacement of injector seals
- Replacement of the SWIRL air control diaphragms
- Replacing glow plugs
- Double engine oil change with filter change
- Fresh air filter
- New diesel filter
- Surfacing of cylinder head gasket surfaces (in workshop)
- Replacement of valve stem seals (in workshop)
- Leakage control (in workshop)
- Grinding of valve seats and honing of valves (in workshop)
- Gearbox draining (2 successive partial drains)
- Distribution kit
- All fluids (cooling, brakes, LDS, gear and engine oils)

The seller specifies that the screws that fix the torque converter to the flywheel have not been replaced, one screw has been shortened to be able to be screwed in completely (see video). He also says that the turbos are hissing (the front turbo is reporting an OBD error on the wastegate control) and that one of the accessory belt rollers is noisy. He adds that an intermittent warning message "risk of clogging FAP" may appear. The soundproofing under the hood is missing.

The car has its 4 original rims in good condition, with tires in very good condition (Michelin Primacy 4, 3.000 km). The car brakes normally and the seller did not notice any suspicious noises. It has recently had a wheel alignment. The hydraulic suspension system has been partially repaired. A hydraulic hose has been replaced, its connection at the top of the right front shock absorber is oozing slightly.
Also, one of the suspension system hoses is slowly leaking. This results in oil drops falling on an intake pipe and then on the right cardan shaft. The oil can then splash onto a part of the exhaust system. The seller advises replacing it as a safety measure.

The seller is a private individual located in France near Metz (57000). The car will be sold with its French registration, a favorable CT of less than 6 months and an autograph of François.

The vendor can provide 4 additional rims (without wheel centers) equipped with 2 continental tires in good condition, 2 liters of LDS and a fire extinguisher.
