Those little Deutz engines can be your best friend or your worst enemy..
The NEW ones w/ common rail, ARE A FRIGGIN NITEMARE!!!
Like w/ everything else on the marked these days> they sent them out into the field in MASS PRODUCTION w/o "REAL WORLD" time on them.. & the support is very limited.. & you can forget about "calling" their technical line.. might as well ask your WIFE what SHE THINKS the problem could be.. LOL, LOL.. {I crack me up}..
The older ones will run + or - a bucket of dirt & keep on going.. t
They're only drawback is/was.. the timing belt. BUT, I guess they HAD TO build-in a problem, so they could sell parts & service??
There IS an option on those engines.. BUT its was/is ONLY an "OPTION"...
Its a tension sensor that gets engaged when the T. BELT gets sloppy & needs changing.. BEFORE it breaks..
BUT, 90% of the people "by-pass" them & keep on running.. Lol..
so you can guess what happens next.. a month or 2 down the road the belt breaks, takes out the push rods, breaks the rockers & on & on.. THEN you hear from the customer, "what a piece of junk" that Deutz engine is.. Lol
