Disadvantages of the B4204T35 engine
- Most owner complaints on specialized forums are related to oil consumption;
- In the early years of production, there were many cases of cracking of rubber pipes;
- Once every 60,000 km, the fuel injectors must be washed or they will fail;
- Change the timing belt every 120,000 km, as when it breaks, the valves bend here;
- Another common problem with these engines is oil seal leaks.
