- 1.5 / 1.6 TDCi Fuel Injector Failure & Leaking Copper Sealing WashersSerious
The Continental piezo injectors suffer from electronic coil breakdown and erosion of the copper combustion sealing washers, allowing hot combustion blow-by gas ("black death" carbon tar) to bake around the cylinder head.
- DPF Differential Pressure Sensor Silicone Pipe Heat DegradationModerate
The dual rubber/silicone pressure sensor hoses connected to the DPF exhaust pipe degrade and crack from high exhaust temperatures, sending false differential pressure readings to the PCM and blocking DPF regenerations.
- Rear Leaf Spring Shackle Bush Corrosion & Clunking Under PayloadModerate
The rear leaf spring shackle mounting bushes and rubber bump stops deteriorate under continuous payload carriage and salted winter roads, causing rear axle steer and metal-on-metal knocking.
