Disadvantages of the UGJC engine

The motor can cause issues when operating in the winter because it is terrified of low temperatures;
Traction significantly decreases after the EGR valve is overgrown with soot for 30 to 50 thousand kilometers;
Near 100,000 kilometers, there is a significant chance that the diesel particulate filter will clog and need to be replaced; after 100,000 kilometers, costly fuel equipment repairs start.
