Disadvantages of the EDJ engine
Engine maintenance is very challenging because of the dense engine compartment;
The primary issues with this diesel engine are related to fuel equipment malfunctions;
Additionally, the flaps used to alter the intake manifold’s geometry are becoming clogged and dirty;
The system may occasionally become airy as a result of quick-connect fittings drying out;
Additionally, the crankshaft position and fuel rail pressure sensors frequently malfunction.
