The Bosch VP44 electronically controlled high-pressure fuel pump gave way to the Common Rail system with piezo injectors, instead of the timing belt, there is a complex system consisting of four chains with tensioners at once, the intake manifold was equipped with servo dampers, one for each cylinder.

Otherwise, these are all the same V6 engines with a cast-iron block and a pair of aluminum cylinder heads, in which there are two camshafts that control 24 valves with hydraulic compensators.
