Disadvantages of the MR20DD engine
- It is necessary to be careful when tightening the bolts and candles, the cylinder head cracks easily here;
- Like all direct injection units, this engine cokes pretty quickly;
- Closer to 150,000 km, noise from the timing chain often appears, which indicates its stretching;
- Due to the fault of the throttle valve contamination, the engine speed at idle floats;
- After 200,000 km of run, almost all owners are faced with an oil burner.
