Gasoline or diesel - when choosing a car, the buyer weighs the pros and cons of each engine. The second option is chosen not only for the sake of saving on fuel: in theory, a diesel engine is more durable. But in practice, everything is relative. Wear is affected by the quality of the fuel and the conscientiousness of the manufacturer. Of course, each plant claims the exceptional reliability of its own engines. However, exploitation reveals weaknesses. Vulnerabilities were also found in the 2.0 TDCi Duratorq turbodiesel. The Auto Strong-M channel provides a detailed overview of the unit.
First of all, the engine is well known to those drivers who managed to test the Ford Mondeo - it was this engine that was installed on the third generation sedan. It is under the hood of the all-wheel drive Jaguar X-type. However, car owners leave different reviews, very contradictory. Still, too many factors affect the life of the "heart" of the car. It is all the more useful to know in advance which places are more vulnerable in order to take this into account in operation and maintenance.
