Engine reliability and common problems:
In early production engines, the camshaft timing chain often stretched, requiring timely replacement to avoid potential issues. The fuel system, equipped with piezo injectors, is highly sensitive to fuel quality, making it essential to use only high-grade diesel. Hydraulic lifters do not tolerate low-quality oil and may start knocking even before reaching 100,000 km.Engine vibrations frequently cause wiring to chafe, leading to malfunctions and error codes from the ECU. Additionally, the diesel particulate filter (DPF) and EGR valve remain persistent sources of trouble, often requiring attention to maintain the engine’s proper functionality.
Overall, this engine can last around 360,000 to 600,000 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.
