Disadvantages of the Rover 20T2N engine
- This diesel is reliable, but there are problems with spare parts;
- The main troubles are associated with failures of the Bosch VP37 electronically controlled high-pressure fuel pump;
- In second place here is the turbine, which often drives oil to 100,000 km;
- The timing belt changes every 100,000 km, or if it breaks, the valves will bend;
- The weak points of the unit include short-lived supports and oil cooler tubes.
