Disadvantages of the EXL engine
The fuel system and erratic piezo injectors are the primary issues;
Additionally, the intake manifold flaps in this diesel engine are frequently wedge-like and dirty;
The motor is well-known for its frequent leaks, and by 100,000 kilometers, it is typically covered in oil; additionally, the heat exchanger flows particularly vigorously, which causes the liners to lift up;
Crumbs from a cracking exhaust manifold ruin the turbine’s brief operation.
