Known weak points

  • Timing belt tensioner and water pump wear; interval must not be exceeded to avoid engine damage
  • Swirl flaps in the intake manifold breaking, with debris risking cylinder damage
  • Injector seal leaks causing hard starting and a diesel smell at idle
  • EGR valve and intake clogging with soot, causing rough idle and loss of power
  • Rear axle wheel bearing wear given the added weight of the MPV body
  • Dual-mass flywheel wear causing rattling at idle on manual gearboxes

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