Disadvantages of the BHDA/BHDB engine
- This diesel engine is demanding on fuel, but with good quality it runs without problems;
- Poor-quality diesel fuel quickly affects the condition of the nozzles, as well as the high-pressure fuel pump;
- A dirty fuel filter can cause sudden power failures;
- The junction of the upper and lower parts of the cylinder block is often a source of leaks;
- After a run of 150 – 200 thousand km, an expensive turbine is at risk.
