Generally reliable and easy to maintain engine, with spare parts available. The engine is not particularly demanding on fuel quality. Although the manufacturer does not specify a chain change interval, it should be changed after 100-150 thousand kilometres, at this mileage the chain tends to stretch and can jump. Catalyst crumbs tend to get into the cylinders and cause increased wear.Overall, this engine can last around 270,000 to 450,000 km if properly maintained, using the correct quality oil and fuel, and carrying out regular checks and maintenance.

Camshaft drive | Timing chain Chain motors are considered more reliable, chain replacement usually is required less often than a timing belt, but they are often louder and vibrate more. More service info |
Timing chain change interval | 150,000 km (recommended) Sometimes manufacturers do not specify timing chain replacement intervals and design chains for engine life. However, once the recommended change interval has been reached, it is recommended to periodically check the condition of the chain and to change the chain if excessive stretching is detected or if unusual noises from the engine or other symptoms occur. |
