- From carbon formation, the intake valves, throttle and EGR valve stick here.
- Timing chain stretches quickly and may jump after parking in gear.
- Ignition coils, a thermostat, a phase regulator also have a low resource.
- Already after 100,000 km of run, rings often lie down and an oil burn begins.
