Disadvantages of the EP6FDTR engine
The coking of the intake and oil lines as a result of overheating is the primary issue here.
Additionally, the turbine will fail due to oil starvation if you miss this opportunity.
The timing chain does not have a lot of resources either; occasionally, it is replaced up to 100,000 kilometers.
The thermostat, water pump, and injection pump are the power unit’s weak points.
