Disadvantages of the JXFA engine
The Common Rail fuel system contamination is the primary cause of the motor’s issues;
Diesel fuel impurities cause the high-pressure fuel pump’s shaft to deteriorate, which leads to chips clogging the nozzles;
The timing chain mechanism frequently needs maintenance on runs longer than 150,000 kilometers;
After 200,000 kilometers, the connecting rods’ upper heads break, causing knocks beneath the hood. The generator and vacuum pump are typically the auxiliary equipment that fails.
