Disadvantages, breakdowns and problems of the internal combustion engine ECE
The main part of the problems is delivered by the vagaries of piezoelectric pump injectors
Also, due to pollution, the geometry of the turbocharger quite often wedges here.
The timing belt runs 120 km, and its breakage most often ends with a major overhaul
On the forums, owners complain about oil consumption up to 1 liter per thousand km
As in any modern diesel engine, a particulate filter and USR deliver a lot of trouble.
