Common Problems: The M57D30 engine was developed in 1998 and became quite popular in those days. The only issue it developed in the early models was known of breathers (Swirl Flaps) malfunction, causing the turbo to suck the oil in and messing up the revs badly. The later models fixed that problem though.
