Known weak points

  • Intake manifold swirl-flap actuator and shaft failure on the A20DTH: rough running, P2015 and in bad cases flap screws dropping into the cylinders
  • EGR valve clogging and sticking, with limp mode, black smoke and an engine light that returns after clearing
  • Turbocharger failure from a blocked oil feed pipe; check the feed pipe and strainer whenever the turbo is replaced
  • Injector and high-pressure pump faults showing as long cranking, loss of power and fuel-rail pressure codes (P0087/P0191)
  • Electric parking brake actuator and cable failures, leaving the brake stuck on or refusing to apply
  • Dual-mass flywheel and clutch judder on high-mileage manuals, plus front drop links knocking over bumps

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