Disadvantages of the YD22DDTi engine
- Denso fuel system reliability is good, but repair costs are high;
- On the profile forum, owners often complain about oil leaks from the intercooler;
- Fragile glow plugs break off when replaced and are very difficult to get to;
- Periodically, you have to clean the EGR valve, here it quickly overgrows with soot;
- After 200,000 km, there is a high risk of stretching the double-row timing chain of the engine.
