Disadvantages, breakdowns and problems of BKS
Even before 100 km of run in the engine, the intake manifold flaps can jam
Quite a lot of problems are thrown by the capricious piezo injectors of the CR Bosch system.
The timing chain resource lies in the range of 200 - 300 thousand km, and replacement is not cheap
The injection pump belt serves no more than 100 km, but when it breaks, the car simply stalls
At high mileage, the diesel particulate filter and the EGR valve are often completely clogged.
