Engine reliability and common problems:
This diesel engine is known for its high reliability and impressive lifespan, combined with excellent fuel efficiency for its power output. It features hydraulic lifters in the cylinder head and uses a Common Rail system with Siemens/Continental piezo injectors. While the fuel system is reliable with quality fuel, using low-quality fuel can lead to expensive repairs.Some issues include regular oil or coolant leaks, often originating from the valve cover gasket or the oil filter heat exchanger gasket. The engine is also prone to carbon buildup and clogging in the EGR valve and metering valve, causing unstable performance. In rare cases, the engine may suffer catastrophic failure due to valve plate detachment, likely caused by a defective batch of valves.
A specific characteristic of this engine series is the need for significant repairs if the timing belt fails. In such cases, broken rocker arms and camshaft damage are common. Despite these drawbacks, with proper maintenance and quality fuel, the engine delivers robust and dependable performance.
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.

| Number of cylinders | 4 |
| Bore (cylinder diameter) | 75 mm |
| Stroke length (piston move) | 88.3 mm |
| Compression ratio | 16 : 1 |
| Camshaft drive | Timing belt Timing belt engines are generally quieter and less vibrating than chain engines, but belt usually needs to be replaced more often and the risk of breakage is higher. However, the timing belt change interval for a particular engine is long enough to be comparable to the life of some engine chains. More service info |
| Timing belt change interval | 240,000 km (specified), 180,000 km (recommended) |
| Fuel system | Common Rail Common rail fuel injection provides more engine power, is quieter, more environmentally friendly and offers better fuel economy, but is more expensive to maintain and repair. |
