- Keep an eye on cooling and regularly update antifreeze, the cylinder head bursts quickly;
- Do not save on oil, this affects the life of the fuel pump and hydraulic lifters;
- Up to 100,000 km often change the wiring of glow plugs and injector nozzles;
- Closer to 200,000 km, the timing chain often stretches and the turbocharger fails.
