Important considerations

- Used vs. Reconditioned:Â A used engine from a salvage yard is an option, but a reconditioned or professionally tested imported unit often comes with a warranty and can provide better long-term reliability.
- Common issues: Issues can occur with the fuel injection system and turbocharger on higher-mileage units. A thorough inspection is recommended
