Common DV6 failures
- Oil pickup pipe blockage from sludge, causing turbo and bearing failure
- Turbo oil starvation and smoking
- Timing belt failure on neglected service intervals
- Swirl flap and EGR carbon build-up restricting the inlet
- Excessive oil consumption on high-mileage units
Buying and fitting advice
- Always replace the oil pickup pipe, filters and turbo when fitting a DV6 — reused sludged parts are the main cause of repeat failure.
