Engine reliability and common problems:
The F4R 2.0 engine is a relatively simple and reliable unit, capable of lasting up to 400,000 km with proper maintenance. Its design is straightforward, and service is generally accessible. However, several recurring issues are associated with this engine.The variable valve timing regulator (phasor) has a short lifespan, typically failing every 60,000–70,000 km. A diesel-like noise from the engine often signals its failure. However, this sound can also indicate more serious issues, such as a cracked cylinder head, burnt piston, or damaged valves, making a compression test essential. Ignition coils are another weak point, and their failure causes engine jerking. Other potential culprits for similar symptoms include the crankshaft position sensor or spark plugs.
The throttle body is prone to clogging, leading to poor engine startup, but cleaning it resolves the issue. The rear crankshaft seal commonly leaks on engines with over 100,000 km, but it is relatively easy to replace. Engine idle fluctuations are characteristic of this engine and are not considered a serious issue. Noise near the timing system is another harmless trait.
This engine is prone to increased oil consumption after 150,000 km, and using poor quality fuel often leads to detonation. Additionally, if the timing belt breaks, valve damage is inevitable. Despite these drawbacks, the F4R 2.0 is a decent and durable engine that, with proper care, can reach a lifespan of 250,000–300,000 km before requiring major repairs.
Overall, this engine can last around 240,000 to 400,000 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.
