[robednz]

can some one tell me how to tell which engine i have in my 2018 T6 Bi turbo Multivan please, the engine number on the cam belt cover says CFC167330 , the sticker by the air filter says it was made in June 2018
I have been reading some horror stories about the T5 and T6 CFCA engines caused by badly designed EGR coolers causing the engine to fail at 60,000 miles .. can i identify a faulty EGR cooler from the outside?

2018 it'll be a CXEB, which unfortunately has it's own horror stories, if you're still on low mileage you might be able to prevent the worst

Have a look in here:

Hi All,

I know there are various threads reporting problems and those affected, but I thought it was worth throwing this out there for discussion. So far, everyone I have spoken to (including specialists) suggest differing approaches. FYI, mine is a 66 plate 2017 vehicle that's done 54k, standard all round engine and drivetrain wise and not currently using excessive oil (lucky me!)

However, I am of the opinion that I'd rather spend some money now to prevent failure rather than wait for it to happen an face a massive bill and loss of the van for weeks.

But . . . . . everyone seems to...

- 204ps Bi-Turbo CXEB T6 Engine & Turbo problems -

Looks like im the latest patient of the CEXB engine issues.

(possibly the 2016-2018 range as there is a mention that the CXEB Block etc was revised in 2019)

(the CXEC 199ps Bi-Turbo was released 2019> and revised )

in sort it looks like its either Turbo or Engine failure.

here is some background:

There are so many threads on here about the issues with this engine I just wondered if anyone has had positive experiences?

Have you enjoyed relevant issue free motoring?

Has your van done a high mileage with just the usual issues that come with this?

Having read all the issues it’s making me doubt my purchase and dreading the day my oil consumption goes through the roof or an engine light appears

Would be nice to hear if anyone has anything positive to say.

Just one thing, there are numerous threads with issues these engines experience so let’s keep this one a positive thread...

the engine number on the cam belt cover says CFC167330

Engine is the CFCA.

the sticker by the air filter says it was made in June 2018

What's the VIN - please post 11 leftmost digits: WV1ZZZ.... or WV2ZZZ.... the 10th digits tells what model year it is. For MY17 it would be "H", MY18 "J"

can i identify a faulty EGR cooler from the outside?

Look down in engine bay - by oil filter you'll see EGR cooler sticker - 03L 115 512 D - revision "D" is the updated version. The infamous ones were engines installed with revisions A, B, C - up to August 2015.

Oh I assumed it being 2018 it would be a CXEB, sorry!

You can safely say that it is faulty, even the Rev D EGR unit didn’t fix the issue.
At 60K miles if the engine isn’t consuming oil you may have a chance to prevent engine damage.
Have a Search on Tafmet, CFCA and oil analysis.
Once the EGR is taken care of the engine and bi-turbo unit are very reliable providing oil change services are done at 8-9K miles.
