Disadvantages of the Hyundai D4HE engine
- This diesel engine appeared quite recently and there is no information about its breakdowns;
- Capricious piezo injectors here have given way to more reliable electromagnetic;
- Instead of timing chains, a belt is now used, let’s see what resource it will have;
- It is not known how the new aluminum block will show itself during long-term operation;
- Naturally, there is a particulate filter and an EGR valve, which will give us problems.
