Disadvantages of the D5244T engine
The biggest issue for owners is unreliable fuel injectors; the fuel system’s rail pressure regulator occasionally fails; hydraulic lifters cannot withstand low-quality oils and can already knock by 100,000 kilometers; this version is the most straightforward and dependable in the series; it lacks a particulate filter, swirl flaps, and turbine electric drive.
