Short and sweet, is the 1.9tdi 105bhp as good reliability wise as the older 1.9tdi 130bhp?

I would imagine they are very similar engines anyway.
well yes, but usually internals are worlds apart reliability wise, take the 130 and the 150bhp diesels of yesteryear, the 130 was bombproof to a degree but the 150 had camshaft issues and so forth.

Thanks guys, it's an 07 caddy with 5 speed box and only 28k on it. So nothing much to worry about then.
