Disadvantages of the M20A-FXS engine
- Like all units with D-4S injection, it is quite demanding on fuel quality.
- This engine has a known problem with EGR fluid cooler leaks.
- In rare cases, the heat exchanger even cracks and antifreeze enters the cylinders.
- By 100 thousand km, the EGR valve can finally become clogged with deposits and jam.
