Disadvantages of the Z19DTH engine
- The weak point of this unit is the intake manifold swirl flaps;
- They wear out quickly and start to close at random or fall off altogether;
- There are few problems with the fuel system, often only the metering valve worries;
- From pollution, the blades of changing the geometry of the turbine or the EGR valve can wedge;
- In the area of the 4th cylinder, the exhaust manifold often cracks or deforms.
