The D3 engine produces a high torque output of 400 Nm, which places significant stress on drive shafts and CV joints under acceleration compared to petrol models or smaller diesels.
It means that when you select your vehicle's make, model and engine details and we confirm the part fits, we guarantee it will install on your car without issues.
