Engine Overview and Common Failures
The weight of the D4FC engine according to the catalog is 152.3 kg. The engine number D4FC is located at the junction of the engine and the gearbox. Fuel system - This diesel is equipped with a reliable Common Rail fuel system from Bosch, and on forums, the only complaint is frequent failures of the fuel pressure regulator on the rail. Intake contamination - The owner is often troubled by rapid contamination of the intake manifold, which needs to be cleaned every 50,000 km. The EGR valve also gets clogged at about the same frequency. Timing chain - The timing chain, consisting of a pair of roller chains, has a modest lifespan. Sometimes they stretch and make a loud noise already at 100,000 km, and when the valve jumps, it bends. Other drawbacks - Other weak points include the not very reliable low-pressure fuel pump, crankshaft position sensor, and regular oil leaks from under the valve cover.
