Disadvantages of the Hyundai D3EA engine
- First of all, this is a rather noisy engine, prone to excessive vibrations;
- Most often, owners are concerned about the fuel system: injectors or injection pumps;
- Monitor the condition of the timing belt, because when it breaks, the valves always bend here;
- Due to the burnout of the washers under the nozzles, the unit quickly overgrows with soot from the inside;
- The power unit often freezes at certain speeds due to ECU glitches;
- A clogged receiver leads to oil starvation of the liners and their cranking;
- On runs over 200,000 km, the cylinder head of this diesel engine cracks very often.
