Engine reliability and common problems:
Pretty reliable engine with great durability. Overall, the chains are more reliable than on BMW N-series engines. However, they do tend to stretch under heavy use. The engine needs good quality fuel, maintenance and oil. Otherwise problems with the common rail system can be expected. The most common problems are associated with the EGR valve and the intake 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.
