[QUOTE="summit1966, post: 348882, member: 6671"] The older style diesels are the bullet proof ones, ALL of the new common rail diesels are far from it, whether it be toyota, nissan ect. The main problem with the newer style is poor fuel quality and lack of lubrication in the fuel. Water in the fuel is the major cause of injector and fuel pump failure. To combat this, a extra filter should be fitted with water separator before the factory filter and a injector cleaner/lubricant should be used as diesel has less sulphur than before which is a lubrication for injectors and fuel pump. Another issue is carbon build up in the manifold and egr, this is caused mainly by gasses from the rocker cover being recululated through the intake, In this a case a catch can will catch oily fuel and leave dry air. All in all with some mods frequent oil and fuel filter changes they can last a long time. [/QUOTE]
