Engine reliability and common problems:
The primary issue with all engines in this series is excessive oil consumption. This is often caused by scoring in the cylinders due to catalytic converter debris entering the combustion chambers.Another significant problem is timing chain noise, which arises from the lack of non-return valves in the oil channels of the cylinder head. Additionally, severe wear of the hydraulic chain tensioners contributes to chain noise. The timing chain tends to stretch quickly, typically between 80,000 and 120,000 km, depending on driving habits. Replacement is costly, as it requires removing the engine and transmission due to the chain's location on the gearbox side.
Other weak points include the water pump, high-pressure fuel pump (HPFP), and frequent failure of the exhaust flex pipes. The engine's intake system is prone to carbon buildup due to direct injection, which prevents fuel from cleaning the intake valves. This carbon buildup can cause unstable engine performance and even lead to valve burn-out.
Overall, while the engine delivers good performance, it demands attentive maintenance and timely repairs to address these common issues and ensure 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.
