Disadvantages of the Renault H4Jt engine
This engine’s continuously advancing oil burner is its primary drawback;
The timing chain, which frequently spans 100,000 kilometers, is fairly weak;
Mating surfaces quickly bend, the aluminum block fears overheating, and owners most frequently complain about boost sensor failure among minor engine issues.
Furthermore, this unit was quickly abandoned because it was not very cost-effective.
