Engine reliability and common problems:
The engine is generally a reliable design and not particularly sensitive to fuel quality. However, it is prone to several common issues. One of the most widespread problems is the rapid buildup of carbon deposits on the intake valves, caused by the direct fuel injection system. This leads to a noticeable loss of power and sluggish performance, though decarbonization often helps. Scoring in the cylinders is another frequent issue, typically resulting from a weak catalytic converter that deteriorates quickly with poor-quality fuel. Particles from the converter can be drawn into the combustion chambers, scratching the cylinder walls.Oil consumption may stem from stuck piston rings or cylinder ovalization. The engine's aluminum block with an open-deck cooling design and thin cast-iron liners often deforms over high mileage. The timing chain, while robust and featuring a reliable roller-bushing design, sometimes requires replacement between 100,000 and 150,000 kilometers. In some cases, chain skipping occurs, leading to contact between valves and pistons.
Other common complaints include oil leaks from weak gaskets, fluctuating idle caused by a dirty throttle body, and the short lifespan of the water pump. Despite these issues, the engine remains serviceable with proper maintenance and timely repairs.
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 | 180,000 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. |
