Engine Q4BA DW12 is known for issues such as EGR valve clogging, turbocharger wear, and DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) blockages. For diagnosis, monitor for loss of power, excessive smoke, or warning lights. Use diagnostic tools to check fault codes related to EGR and turbo systems.

Regular maintenance is key to longevity.
