Most common problems, symptoms & fixes for the CXXB engine.

Engine CXXB commonly faces issues with the diesel particulate filter (DPF) clogging, EGR valve carbon buildup, and turbocharger wear. Diagnosis includes checking for warning lights, performing a DPF regeneration cycle, and scanning for fault codes related to EGR and turbo performance. Prevention involves regular long drives to allow DPF regeneration, using quality fuel and oil, and timely oil changes. Solutions include cleaning or replacing the EGR valve, performing forced DPF regeneration or replacement if severely clogged, and inspecting the turbocharger for shaft play or leaks, replacing it if necessary. Maintaining the intake system clean also helps prolong engine life.
