Disadvantages of the D4204T23 engine
The most well-known issue with these diesel engines is the constantly bursting nozzles; this is particularly true for the rubber tubes of the turbine, intercooler, and PowerPulse system; additionally, there are frequently grease leaks from the seals and from beneath the valve cover;
There were recall campaigns for the particulate filter, intake manifold, and EGR; the timing belt needs to be changed every 120,000 kilometers or the valves will bend if it breaks.
