If you see the engine code D4EB, you should know that it indicates a 2.2-litre four-cylinder diesel from Hyundai/Kia. This turbocharged engine is from the R-series of diesels, developed by the two companies and is most often found in Hyundai Santa Fe and some other Hyundai/Kia cars.
From a technical standpoint, it’s important to note that the D4EB is quite torquey, developing solid torque and 110 or 114 kW of power.
Furthermore, it has CRDI (Common-rail direct injection), a 16.0:1 compression ratio and a DOHC system with 16 valves. This makes it very reasonable in terms of efficiency.
The most common problems with Hyundai or Kia D4EB engines are related to EGR clogging and DPF failures, albeit it has a solid reputation for reliability.
