Disadvantages of the EP6FDT engine
- The power unit has been seriously updated and many of the problems of the EP series no longer concern it.
- Unfortunately, the timing chain resource is still small, it rarely even reaches 100,000 km.
- The motor, like its predecessor, quickly cokes and requires regular cleaning from carbon deposits.
- Often the electromagnetic clutch in the drive of a mechanical water pump fails.
- The new high-pressure fuel pump is more reliable than the old one, but it is also very demanding on fuel quality.
