- This diesel engine is known for its dislike of frost, in cold winters it simply does not start.
- In the first years of production, the turbine had a low resource and the timing chain was extended.
- The exhaust manifold often cracks, there was even a free replacement company.
- In the EGR system, not only does the valve become clogged with soot, but the underwater tube also bursts.
- Also, the absolute pressure sensor, the IMRC valve and the crankshaft damper pulley often fail here.
