The engine number B207L is located on the oil filter housing. It is a reliable engine, with its only weak point being the timing chain. It is often necessary to replace the timing chain and balance shafts at a mileage of 200,000 km. The turbocharger itself performs well, but its bypass valve regularly fails. Many problems are related to the short lifespan of the crankcase ventilation valve. The ECU, fuel pump, electronic throttle, and fuel pressure regulator also do not have a long service life.
