- 2.0 EcoBlue Wet Timing Belt Degradation & Oil Pump Strainer CloggingSerious
Later Euro 6d 2.0 EcoBlue diesel engines utilize an internal oil-submerged timing belt ("wet belt") that sheds rubber particulate into the engine oil if incorrect specification 0W-20 oil is used, clogging the oil strainer and causing turbo/engine failure.
- Rear Integral-Link Trailing Arm Bush Tearing & SqueakingModerate
The complex multi-link rear suspension bushes split and delaminate under heavy motorway loads, causing rear-end wandering, uneven tyre wear, and annoying creaking over road undulations.
