Disadvantages of the EP6FADTR engine
- So far, the bulk of complaints here are related to electrical failures or oil leaks.
- The timing chain does not have a large resource either, sometimes it stretches up to 100,000 km.
- Due to direct fuel injection, the intake valves are very quickly overgrown with soot.
- The predecessor of this unit often suffered from an oil burner, let’s see how it will be here.
