Engine reliability and common problems:
Owners often report increasing oil consumption, which becomes particularly pronounced over time. Additionally, the water pump has a limited service life, and after 150,000 km, the timing chain tends to stretch, causing increased noise that can only be resolved by replacing the component. Strange noises during engine operation are another frequent complaint.Carbon deposits in the intake manifold and throttle body often lead to fluctuating idle, while regular oil leaks typically originate from the oil filter or the timing chain cover gasket.
Some key issues with the engine include that repairs are often impossible or not economically viable. Strong vibration at idle, which cannot be resolved by replacing the engine mounts, is a design feature. Poor cold starts and noise in the timing mechanism occur, requiring attention to fuel quality and timely filter replacement. Performance issues during startup can often be fixed by resetting the control unit. Low-quality fuel leads to rapid clogging of fuel filters, and poor-quality oil contributes to the failure of hydraulic lifters. Valve seals wear out quickly, requiring regular replacement to maintain functionality.
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.
