Disadvantages of the D5BA engine
French diesels quickly took the place of these engines, which are thought to be problematic;
After 100–150 thousand kilometers, a large two-row timing chain may stretch; camshaft beds are also prone to extremely quick wear in this area;
Fuel contaminants cause damage inside the high pressure fuel pump, clogging the nozzles;
The head beneath the piston pin bushing fractures during extended runs in the connecting rod.
