Engine reliability and common problems:
A fairly reliable engine with a long service 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 needs to be fuelled, serviced and oiled to a good standard, otherwise problems with the common rail system are to be expected. 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.
