Engine reliability and common problems:
The engine is praised for being both flexible and torquey, delivering impressive performance for its horsepower rating. It is also remarkably fuel-efficient. However, the engine is very demanding when it comes to fuel quality, requiring high-grade fuel for optimal operation.A widespread issue reported by owners is a noticeable jolt when releasing the clutch in first gear, which detracts from the overall driving experience.
Overall, this engine can last around 210,000 to 360,000 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.
