🔧 1. Problems with the Common Rail system (or PDE unit injectors)

Symptoms: difficult starting, loss of power, rough running, white or black smoke.

Causes:

Worn injectors or PDE (especially at 300-500 thousand km)

Contamination of the fuel system with water or paraffin

Incorrect pressure in the fuel rail (if CR)

✅ What to do:

• Checking the injector return
• Diagnostics of pressure and injection pattern
• Using high-quality fuel and regularly replacing filters

🔧 2. Coking of the EGR valve and intake tract

Symptoms: decreased traction, increased fuel consumption, black smoke

Causes:

Working on short routes

Low fuel quality

Turbine malfunctions → increased smoke

✅ What to do:

• Regular cleaning of the EGR and manifold
• Monitoring the boost pressure and correct operation of the turbine
• Using oil with MAN approval (for example, M3277)

🔧 3. Increased oil consumption

Symptoms: constant topping up of oil, blue smoke

Causes:

Worn oil scraper rings

Leaks in the crankcase ventilation system

Oil leakage through the turbine or seals

✅ What to do:

• Compression check
• Inspection of the crankcase ventilation system (CVCS)
• Check for leaks, especially in the cylinder head and turbine area

🔧 4. Destruction of the cylinder head gasket or cracks in the head

Symptoms: overheating, pressure in the cooling system, emulsion in the oil

Causes:

Engine overheating

Violations during installation of the head (bolts overtightened or unevenly tightened)

Weak cooling or malfunction of the water pump

✅ What to do:

• Check for CO2 leaks in the cooling system
• Check the coolant temperature
• Use original gaskets and the correct tightening order

🔧 5. Camshaft and rocker arm wear

Symptoms: extraneous sounds from the cylinder head, deterioration in cold operation

Causes:

Oil starvation

Using low-quality oil

Violation of oil change regulations

✅ What to do:

• Oil pressure monitoring
• Regular oil and filter changes (every 40–60 thousand km)
• Checking the shaft condition at high mileage (500–700 thousand km)

🔧 6. Turbine problems

Symptoms: loss of power, whistling, increased oil pressure

Causes:

Oil starvation

Clogged oil separator (KVKG)

Faults in the boost system (air leakage)

✅ What to do:

• Flushing the ventilation system
• Checking the boost pressure and back pressure
• Checking the gap turbine shaft

🔧 7. Water pump failure

Symptoms: antifreeze leak, overheating

Causes:

Impeller wear

Seal leak

Work without proper lubrication and with dirty coolant

✅ What to do:

• Replace antifreeze every 2 years
• Check belt tension (if belt drive)
• Listen to pump bearings during operation
