Engine reliability and common problems:
The car engine may require significant maintenance and part replacements as mileage increases. Between 200,000 and 300,000 km, the costly timing chain might need replacement, while the drive belt has a shorter lifespan, lasting approximately 100,000 km. High-mileage vehicles often experience issues with a clogged diesel particulate filter (DPF) and EGR valve, which may lead to reduced engine performance and emergency mode activation. The dual-mass flywheel typically requires replacement every 100,000–150,000 km due to wear from improper gear usage and low-speed driving. Piezo injectors can fail between 150,000 and 180,000 km, causing vibration and unstable idle. Intake manifold flap issues can occur between 100,000 and 250,000 km, depending on fuel and oil quality, due to soot accumulation. The turbocharger may need replacement around 300,000 km, with earlier failures linked to infrequent oil changes. Finally, the EGR valve, often replaced after 250,000 km due to soot buildup, is sometimes disabled by drivers to avoid repeated issues.Overall, this engine can last around 300,000 to 510,000 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.
