I usually see people praising the DV6 engine, not complaining about its reliability. When it comes to the non-intercooled DW10, it had a conservative tune we don't see anymore due to the obsession which revolved around turning Diesels into a contender for gassers performance-wise instead of focusing on their advantages on efficiency and longer lasting.

On a sidenote, Siemens fuel systems are also not so appreciated in Brazil, mostly due to the lack of independent maintenance outlets able to provide technical service, while the Bosch fuel systems are not only more widespread but also easier to find service.
