BPE Flaws, Breakdowns, and Problems

The updated aluminum block is also prone to scuffing like its predecessor.

Pump injectors last approximately 150 km and then usually flow over seals

After 200 km, wear of rockers and camshaft cams is often found here.

On runs of 250 - 300 thousand kilometers, timing gears may require attention

Also, a pump or a heat exchanger often flows here and the oil is mixed with antifreeze
