Engine reliability and common problems:
The engine is reliable, however, owners frequently report excessive oil consumption, which is usually linked to piston ring issues. Loss of power is another common complaint. It's advised against maintaining a consistent driving rhythm for extended periods, as this can lead to wastegate shaft seizure or actuator failure. Periodic hard acceleration is recommended to avoid such issues.The plastic water pump with two thermostats often develops leaks and can only be replaced as a complete unit.
According to the maintenance schedule, the timing belt should be inspected every 60,000 km. A belt failure can cause significant damage, including bent valves.
Also owners frequently mention unusual noises during engine operation.
Overall, this engine can last around 240,000 to 410,000 km if properly maintained, using the correct quality oil and fuel, and carrying out regular checks and maintenance.
The engine has hydraulic valve tappets (lifters), which provide quieter operation and do not require periodic adjustment, but are more complex in design and can cause serious engine damage in the event of failure.
