what do you want to know?
If your looking at one drain the fuel filter. If the fuel is dark colored theres oil getting in it from the cyl head. The injectors sit in the middle of the head and are driven by the cam, on high milage engine they wear out the machined hole they sit in. This allows oil to get in the fuel, and more importantly lowers cylinder compression. Eventually needing a new head or engine.
If it sound like it has a exhaust leak just behind the engine the egr cooler is probably burnt up. This allows exhaust to blow out on the backside of the engine.
If it feels really slow and there's alu shavings in all the intercooler pipes someone may have dropped a screw in the turbo inlet
. I just put a new turbo on one after a simple machine screw precisely machine all the fins off the turbo.
If it stinks and blows black smoke all over its a normal running high millage 1.9l.
