Known Issues
High Pressure Fuel Pump:
Potential wear on the cam follower of the high-pressure fuel pump, leading to 'pump tick' or eventual failure. Requires replacement of follower and potentially the pump.
Engine Mounts:
Stock engine mounts can be overly soft for the torque output, leading to excessive engine movement and potential vibration or harshness under acceleration.
Clutch Wear:
Due to the high torque, clutch wear can be accelerated, especially with aggressive driving. Clutch chatter or slipping can be indicators.
Turbocharger Oil Lines:
Risk of oil coking in the turbocharger oil feed line if the engine is shut off immediately after hard driving. Regular oil changes and allowing the turbo to cool down are recommended.
Interior Rattles:
Some owners report interior rattles and squeaks, common in many performance-oriented vehicles. Sound deadening can help.
