Engine reliability and common problems:
The engine is widely criticized for excessive oil consumption, which is one of the most common complaints from owners. This issue, partially addressed by the manufacturer by the end of 2011, persists in high-mileage engines. The primary solution is replacing the pistons, and decarbonization is occasionally necessary to address soot buildup caused by oil burning.The timing chain has a limited lifespan of 80,000–120,000 km, depending on driving habits, and often stretches, requiring replacement. Diagnosis can be performed through specialized inspection or by examining the tensioner. Replacing the chain, tensioners, and guides as a complete set is recommended, with later versions incorporating reinforced components.
The water pump and thermostat also have a short service life, typically around 80,000–100,000 km. Their combined plastic housing is prone to deformation due to frequent heating, leading to coolant leaks. It’s best to replace the entire assembly when addressing this issue.
Carbon buildup is another recurring problem, particularly on valves and piston rings. Due to direct injection bypassing the intake valves, they are prone to carbon deposits that require cleaning, often necessitating the removal of the intake manifold. Piston rings can also accumulate carbon, which is addressed through decarbonization treatments.
Ignition coils have a limited lifespan and often fail, indicated by a flashing Check Engine light due to misfires. Upgraded "red" coils are commonly used as replacements, offering improved durability. These issues collectively require diligent maintenance and periodic part replacements to maintain engine reliability.
Overall, this engine can last around 230,000 to 390,000 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.
