Disadvantages of the QJBB/QJBA engine
The Delphi fuel system is in some way connected to the majority of engine issues;
The pump shaft deteriorates and its chips clog the nozzles due to impurities in diesel fuel; the double-row timing chain appears intimidating but is actually 150,000 kilometers long;
A distinctive knock occurs and the upper heads of the connecting rods break after 200,000 kilometers. Vacuum pump and generator failures are frequently reported on specialized forums.
