Disadvantages of the Ford Z2DA engine
- The weak point of these PSA-designed diesels is the short chain between the camshafts: it stretches, and if this is missed, it breaks and the pistons hit the valves;
- Fitting the reinforced chain requires new camshafts, so the repair is expensive;
- The Bosch Common Rail system with piezo injectors is reliable but does not tolerate poor diesel;
- The particulate filter, EGR valve and NOx sensor cause a lot of trouble.
