Disadvantages of the D5244T4 engine
These diesel engines frequently have jammed intake manifold swirl flaps;
The turbine actuator drive’s plastic gears deteriorate rapidly;
Bad oils cause hydraulic lifters to occasionally knock after 100,000 kilometers;
The engine may stop if the alternator belt breaks and falls beneath the timing belt;
Liners frequently burst and antifreeze combines with oil at high mileage.
