Disadvantages of the EP6FADTR engine
Oil leaks and electrical malfunctions have been the main causes of complaints thus far.
The timing chain, which occasionally spans up to 100,000 kilometers, also lacks significant resources.
The intake valves are rapidly overgrown with soot as a result of direct fuel injection.
This unit’s predecessor frequently experienced problems with an oil burner; we’ll see how things work out here.
