- DMF wears out with age — juddering when pulling away, rattling at idle. Common on cars with 150k+ km. (~400–800 € repair)
- Turbo vacuum actuator diaphragm tears — causes turbo underboost. Cheap fix (~€50-100 for actuator). (~50–200 € repair)
- PD unit injector copper washers need replacement when injectors are serviced. Black smoke from injector area indicates leaking seal. (~50–200 € repair)
