Disadvantages of the C9DA/C9DB/C9DC engine
Unlike its predecessors, this diesel engine can run for a long time with high-quality fuel;
The efficiency of high-pressure fuel pumps and injectors is rapidly impacted by low-quality diesel fuel;
A seriously clogged fuel filter is typically the cause of abrupt traction failures;
The intersection of the cylinder block’s upper and lower sections is frequently where lubrication leaks occur;
Examining the intercooler air duct’s corrugations is worthwhile if the engine is unstable.
