Most common problems, symptoms & fixes for the CAND engine.
Engine CAND commonly faces issues like EGR valve clogging, turbocharger wear, and DPF blockages. Diagnosis involves checking for fault codes related to EGR flow and turbo boost pressure, plus monitoring DPF regeneration cycles. Preventive measures include using high-quality fuel and oil, regular oil changes, and ensuring the vehicle completes highway drives to aid DPF cleaning. Solutions for EGR problems often require cleaning or replacement; turbocharger faults may need repair or swap; DPF issues might be resolved by forced regeneration or, in severe cases, replacement. Regular maintenance and prompt attention to warning lights help maintain engine health.
