Engine reliability and common problems:
This engine is economical for its power output but has several notable weaknesses. Problems with variable valve timing regulators (phasors) are common, often requiring attention due to malfunctions. The timing chain stretches quickly, necessitating replacement sooner than expected. The thermostat and water pump are also not particularly reliable, often leading to operational issues. Additionally, the fuel injectors are highly sensitive to low-quality fuel and can fail if refueled at unverified stations. Proper maintenance and the use of high-quality fuel are essential to mitigate these problems.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.

| 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. |
