Engine Overview and Common Failures
The weight of the D4EA engine according to the catalog is 195.6 kg. The engine number D4EA is located at the junction with the gearbox. The camshaft can wear out. This diesel engine is demanding in terms of maintenance regulations and the quality of the oil used, so wear on the cam lobes is often seen among particularly economical owners. It is also usually necessary to replace the valve rockers along with the camshaft. Timing belt breakage. According to the regulations, the timing belt should be replaced every 90,000 km, but it often breaks earlier. Its replacement is difficult and expensive, so owners often drive until the last moment. It can also break as a result of a failure in the water pump or valve, which usually bends the valve. Fuel system. This diesel engine is equipped with a reliable Common Rail Bosch CP1 fuel system, but it quickly fails due to poor-quality diesel fuel, causing fuel injectors to leak. Even one faulty injector can cause serious engine damage. Other drawbacks. The basic 112 hp modifications do not have an oil catch can and often consume lubricant excessively. Glow plugs have a relatively short service life. The turbocharger typically lasts less than 150,000 km. The oil pickup mesh frequently gets clogged, leading to crankshaft damage.
