Disadvantages of the EDT engine
Keep an eye on the cooling system, or the block head will quickly overheat;
Antifreeze leaks via thermostats and pipe cracks are also frequent;
The valve always bends here when the timing belt resource breaks, which is approximately 100,000 kilometers;
Fuel injectors need to be flushed frequently because they cannot handle bad gasoline;
This power unit frequently uses oil during a run of more than 150,000 kilometers.
