Engine reliability and common problems:
The diesel engine is highly reliable when properly maintained, offering an excellent balance of power and fuel efficiency. However, it has several important characteristics and issues that should be considered.This engine is extremely sensitive to the quality of fuel used. Poor-quality diesel, which often contains many impurities and foreign fractions, inevitably leads to clogging of the fuel pump and injectors, as well as other failures. These conditions also negatively affect the glow plugs, which are frequently impacted by such problems. The engine's fuel delivery system includes many electronic regulators, and a malfunction in any one of them can disrupt the operation of the entire system.
The cost of repairing these engines is high, and their design makes self-repair almost impossible due to the need for specialized equipment. The engine is also demanding regarding the quality of lubricants used. Oil changes must be performed on time, and only high-quality oil should be used. Using low-quality oil can result in the need to replace the turbocharger. A common symptom of this issue is the engine stalling during sudden braking.
Despite these shortcomings, the engine provides excellent durability and reliable performance when timely maintenance is performed, and only high-quality diesel fuel is used.
Overall, this engine can last around 220,000 to 370,000 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. More service info |
Timing chain change interval | 200,000 km (recommended) Sometimes manufacturers do not specify timing chain replacement intervals and design chains for engine life. However, once the recommended change interval has been reached, it is recommended to periodically check the condition of the chain and to change the chain if excessive stretching is detected or if unusual noises from the engine or other symptoms occur. |
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. |
