Engine reliability and common problems:
The main issues reported by owners are frequent oil and coolant leaks. The Siemens fuel system with piezo injectors is highly sensitive to fuel quality, requiring the use of high-grade diesel to avoid premature wear. The diesel particulate filter also has a limited lifespan and often requires replacement sooner than expected.The metering valve and EGR system tend to accumulate carbon deposits quickly, necessitating frequent cleaning to maintain proper engine performance. The timing belt should be closely monitored, as its failure can cause severe damage, including broken rocker arms.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.
