Known weak points

  • Timing chain stretch when oil changes are stretched or the wrong oil is used: diesel rattle on start-up, P0016 code and eventual chain failure
  • Glow plugs snapping off in the head on removal, so replace them only on a warm engine with penetrating oil and patience
  • EGR valve sticking with soot, causing limp mode, black smoke and a flashing glow-plug light
  • Electric power steering motor and torque sensor faults: steering suddenly heavy and the steering warning light on
  • Turbocharger variable-vane actuator sticking on the 90/95 hp versions, with loss of power above 2500 rpm
  • DPF saturation on Euro 5 cars used for short trips, plus swirl flap and intake sooting

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