Disadvantages of the D5204T engine
- This is a modern CR diesel with 1800 bar piezo injectors and a diesel particulate filter;
- The most common problem is the rapid contamination of the throttle or EGR valve;
- From low-quality oils, hydraulic lifters can knock to 100,000 km of run;
- In the fuel system, injectors and a regulator valve in the rail are most often worried;
- Change the ribbed belt in time or if it breaks, it will be pulled under the timing belt.
