Disadvantages of the Land Rover 204D3 engine
- Compared to Rover diesels, this engine is more demanding on fuel quality;
- The weak point of the Common Rail Bosch is the fuel pressure regulator on the rail;
- Intake manifold swirl flaps often fall off and fall into the cylinders;
- Approximately every 100 thousand km it is necessary to replace the crankshaft damper pulley;
- At high mileage in units of this family, the crankshaft may suddenly burst.
