- 2.2 CRDi EGR Valve Carbon Clogging & DPF IssuesModerate
Urban short trips cause soot buildup in the EGR valve and cooler, leading to sticking valves, reduced power, and frequent DPF warning lights.
- AWD Dynamax Electro-Hydraulic Coupling WearSerious
The Magna Dynamax AWD coupling can suffer internal clutch pack wear or pump failure if tyres are unevenly worn or fluid changes are ignored.
- Rear Suspension Self-Levelling Damper LeaksModerate
Higher-spec models fitted with rear self-levelling shock absorbers (Nivomat) can develop hydraulic leaks, causing the rear end to sag and bounce over road undulations.
