Engine reliability and common problems:
Pretty reliable engine with long life. On the whole, the chains are more reliable than in the BMW N-series engines, but they also have a tendency to stretch under heavy use. The engine is in need of good quality fuel, maintenance and oil, otherwise problems can be expected with the common rail system. Problems most commonly involve the EGR valve and manifold.Overall, this engine can last around 210,000 to 360,000 km if properly maintained, using the correct quality oil and fuel, and carrying out regular checks and maintenance.
The engine has hydraulic valve tappets (lifters), which provide quieter operation and do not require periodic adjustment, but are more complex in design and can cause serious engine damage in the event of failure.
