Piezoelectric unit injectors are linked to numerous motor failures; additionally, this engine failed to pass the known issue with the oil pump’s hex;
Additionally, this power unit can use up to 1 liter of oil every 1000 kilometers; the turbine’s geometry frequently wedges and thrust dips due to pollution; at high mileage, the particulate filter and the EGR valve are frequently totally clogged.
