Known weak points

  • Timing belt and belt-driven water pump requiring timely replacement; failure risks bent valves
  • Injector seal and injector failure causing hard starting, rough running and increased emissions
  • EGR valve clogging with soot, causing rough idle and hesitation on acceleration
  • Turbocharger wear from oil starvation if oil changes are neglected, leading to smoke and whistling noise
  • Flywheel and dual-mass flywheel wear producing vibration and rattling at idle
  • DPF (on later facelift diesel particulate filter cars) clogging on short trips with frequent regenerations

Fuse assignment varies by equipment level and production year. Always confirm with the label on the fuse box cover or the owner's manual.
