Engine reliability and common problems:
This engine is generally reliable and rarely causes issues.One of its major concerns is cylinder wall scoring. Early versions were equipped with a large exhaust manifold, but around 2010, it was replaced with a compact catalytic manifold. If the catalytic converter deteriorates, debris can enter the cylinders, causing scratches and premature wear.
Oil consumption is another potential problem. The engine features an aluminum block with an open-deck design and thin-walled liners, which lack rigidity. Under aggressive driving or frequent overheating, the cylinders can deform slightly, leading to progressive oil consumption.
The timing chain system has a mixed reputation. Conservative drivers can expect it to last over 200,000 km, but frequent high-RPM operation significantly shortens its lifespan. Additionally, dirty oil can cause the hydraulic tensioner to seize, leading to chain failure.
Smaller but recurring issues include alternator belt squealing due to a weak tensioner, weak engine mounts that wear out quickly, oil leaks from the valve cover, and idle instability caused by a dirty throttle body or clogged fuel injectors.
A common complaint is engine knocking. If the noise disappears after warming up, it is usually related to the timing chain and not a serious concern. However, if the knocking persists when the engine is warm, valve clearance adjustment may be necessary.
Idle fluctuations and uneven engine performance are frequently reported. Cleaning the throttle body usually resolves the issue, but if the problem persists, a software update may be required.
Vibrations at idle are often caused by a dirty throttle body or worn-out spark plugs. In cases of severe vibration, engine mounts should also be inspected for wear.
Overall, this engine can last around 190,000 to 330,000 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 | 200,000 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. |
