Engine reliability and common problems:
The main issues with this diesel engine stem from the fuel system and its sensitive piezo injectors. These injectors are known for being highly demanding in terms of fuel quality, which can lead to performance issues and costly repairs.Another frequent problem is the intake manifold flaps, which tend to accumulate deposits and eventually seize. The engine is also notorious for multiple leaks, with the heat exchanger being particularly problematic. If left unchecked, this can lead to excessive wear on the bearings.
The engine was equipped with a Garrett turbo, which itself is durable and can last around 300,000 km without major concerns. The primary issue lies in the variable geometry system, which often seizes due to heavy contamination.
Additionally, the oil pump is not particularly long-lasting. Since the engine is highly sensitive to oil pressure, a failing oil pump can lead to severe consequences, including bearing failure.
Overall, this engine can last around 280,000 to 480,000 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.

| Camshaft drive | Timing chain Chain motors are considered more reliable, chain replacement usually is required less often than a timing belt, but they are often louder and vibrate more. |
| 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. |
