Disadvantages, breakdowns and problems of CREC
This motor has not been produced for so long and the breakdown statistics have not been formed.
The use of new cast-iron sleeves reduced the problem with scuffing to almost nothing
However, catalysts from low-quality fuel are destroyed just as quickly.
The cause of severe crackling of timing chains is most often the wear of hydraulic tensioners.
In our operating conditions, a capricious high-pressure fuel pump often fails
