Known weak points

  • Timing belt tensioner wear on early BXE/BLS engines, with a risk of belt failure if not replaced on schedule
  • EGR valve carbon fouling causing rough idle and reduced power
  • Injector seal leaks causing white smoke and hard starting
  • Dual-mass flywheel wear at higher mileage causing rattling, especially at idle
  • Turbocharger wear from oil sludge on cars with extended service intervals
  • Rear coil spring corrosion/breakage reported on some cars of this generation
