N47 Diesel Engines issues – 2010 Onwards

Are you having issues with your N47 Diesel Engine

 

The 1.6L & 2.0L Diesel Engines, 2010 Onwards, have a few known issues – see below.

  • Timing Chain Stretch: A serious problem that can lead to catastrophic engine damage, often with a noticeable rattle during cold starts.
  • EGR & Intake Issues: Common soot buildup and EGR valve problems.
  • Turbocharger Wear: Typically due to extended service intervals or oil-related issues on higher-mileage engines.
  • Crankshaft Bearing Wear: Caused by lack of servicing or oil issues; crankshaft pulley or dual mass flywheel failures may also trigger vibrations that accelerate wear.
  • Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) Blockages: DPF clogging is common, especially on vehicles with frequent short journeys or oil-related problems preventing proper regeneration.
