Disadvantages of the FFDA engine
The primary issues with the Common Rail Delphi system are that it dislikes poor-quality diesel fuel;
It won’t last long if the filter replacement interval isn’t strictly followed;
The high pressure fuel pump, injectors, and tank are typically disassembled in order to repair the fuel system;
A basic resource has a crankshaft pulley damper and a camshaft position sensor; nozzles are frequently already poured on shoots longer than 100,000 kilometers, which increases the risk of piston burnout.
