Engine reliability and common problems:
The 1.6 TDI turbo diesel engine is generally reliable, which is especially reassuring given its frequent use in commercial vehicles. Even under heavy use, it can exceed 500,000 km, provided that maintenance is performed regularly and without cost-cutting. Using high-quality engine oil with the correct specifications is essential. It's also important to monitor ECU software updates and install them when available to ensure optimal engine performance.The timing belt offers a long service life but requires monitoring, as a failure can lead to bent valves.
Common issues include clogging of the EGR valve and diesel particulate filter. Vehicles used mostly for city driving are particularly prone to these problems, which can lead to loss of power. The regeneration process for the particulate filter depends on the proper functioning of sensors for differential pressure and exhaust gas temperature, which are known to malfunction frequently.
This engine is equipped with a dual-mass flywheel, which typically lasts around 200,000–250,000 km. Its limited lifespan is a known weakness.
Problems can also arise in the Common Rail fuel system, supplied by Continental with piezo injectors. It is highly sensitive to low-quality diesel and infrequent fuel filter replacement. Neglecting this can lead to expensive repairs of the injection system.
Oil leaks from the valve cover are another common issue. These can appear even at relatively low mileage, and replacing the gasket alone often doesn’t help. In most cases, the entire valve cover must be replaced.
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.

| Number of cylinders | 4 |
| Bore (cylinder diameter) | 79.5 mm |
| Stroke length (piston move) | 80.5 mm |
| Compression ratio | 16.5 : 1 |
| Camshaft drive | Timing belt Timing belt engines are generally quieter and less vibrating than chain engines, but belt usually needs to be replaced more often and the risk of breakage is higher. However, the timing belt change interval for a particular engine is long enough to be comparable to the life of some engine chains. More service info |
| Timing belt 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. |
