Known weak points
- N47 timing chain and guide wear at the rear of the engine: a rattle at idle that must be investigated before the chain snaps and ruins the engine
- EGR cooler cracking and coking (subject to recall), causing coolant loss, white smoke and in extreme cases intake fire
- Swirl flaps and intake manifold sooting, giving hesitation and poor economy
- Glow plugs seizing in the head and glow control module failures, showing as hard cold starts
- ZF 8HP gearbox mechatronic sleeve leak and harsh 2-1 downshifts; sump-pan filter change often cures it
- Front thrust-arm bushings wearing, felt as steering shimmy when braking from motorway speed
