Disadvantages of the Ford YNCA engine
- The piezo injection system with 2000 bar pressure is very sensitive to diesel quality;
- The engine does not tolerate overheating: the head gasket fails quickly, so keep an eye on the cooling system;
- The timing belt runs in the oil bath, so the oil should be changed as often as possible;
- Do not forget the oil pump belt: its failure is just as fatal for the engine, so replace it together with the timing belt;
- The particulate filter, EGR valve and AdBlue system cause a lot of trouble.
