Disadvantages, breakdowns and problems of CRCA
The motors of this series turned out to be more reliable than their predecessors, so far there are few complaints about them.
The main engine failures are associated with the fuel system and its piezo injectors.
Also on the forums, oil or coolant leaks are periodically discussed.
On a run of over 200 km, they often stretch here and require replacement of the timing chain
As with all modern diesel engines, the diesel particulate filter and USR cause a lot of problems.
