Engine reliability and common problems:
This engine is generally considered decent, with a lifespan of around 250,000 km. While it doesn’t cause major issues if properly maintained, some common problems still arise.One of the most frequent complaints from owners is increasing oil consumption over time. Many also report unusual noises and knocking sounds during engine operation. The timing chain tends to stretch after 150,000 km, which can lead to further complications if not addressed.
Unstable idle is often caused by carbon buildup in the intake manifold and throttle body. Oil leaks are another recurring issue, most commonly occurring around the oil filter and the timing chain cover.
A knocking noise at mid-range RPMs is usually a sign that the timing chain tensioner needs replacement. Additionally, the alternator belt may produce a noticeable whistling sound, which should be resolved by replacing it.
Idle problems are frequently linked to a faulty throttle position sensor or a dirty throttle body, both of which should be checked and cleaned to restore smooth operation.
The water pump is also prone to leaks, noise, and failure after 50,000–70,000 km. Thermostat failures are common as well, preventing the engine from reaching optimal operating temperature. In some cases, the VVT-i valve can seize, resulting in sluggish performance and a noticeable loss of power.
Overall, this engine can last around 220,000 to 370,000 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.
