This diesel is demanding on maintenance schedule and oil quality, so especially thrifty owners often encounter camshaft lobe wear. Along with the camshaft, the valve rockers usually need to be replaced as well.
According to regulations, the timing belt is replaced every 90,000 km, but it often breaks earlier. Replacement is complex and expensive, so owners often delay it. It can also break due to water pump seizure, and the valves usually bend.
This diesel is equipped with a fairly reliable Bosch CP1 Common Rail fuel system, but poor-quality diesel quickly causes injectors to fail and leak. Even one faulty injector can lead to serious engine damage.
Simple 112 hp versions lack an oil separator and often consume oil; glow plugs have a short lifespan; the turbo usually lasts less than 150,000 km. The oil pickup screen often clogs, leading to crankshaft scoring.
