- The CR Bosch system with piezo injectors is reliable but very demanding on fuel;
- The cause of unstable operation here is often intake pollution through the EGR;
- Many of the problems of such a diesel engine are associated with the crankcase ventilation oil separator;
- After 200,000 km, a double-row timing chain can stretch and jump;
- Another weakness of the engine include glow plugs and their control unit.
