Disadvantages of the D5244T4 engine
- Very often in these diesel engines the swirl flaps of the intake manifold are jammed;
- The plastic gears of the turbine actuator drive wear out quickly;
- Hydraulic lifters suffer from bad oils, sometimes they knock already by 100,000 km;
- If the alternator belt breaks, it can fall under the timing belt and end the engine;
- At high mileage, liners often burst and antifreeze mixes with oil.
