Engine reliability and common problems:
This engine is simple and reliable, rarely causing significant issues for owners.Fluctuating idle speed is often linked to a clogged fuel pump strainer or air leaks in the intake system. If vibrations or rough idling occur, increasing the idle speed might help. In some cases, air leaks require removing the intake manifold and replacing its gaskets.
Ignition coil cracks and contact oxidation are common problems, which can lead to misfires. The timing belt requires careful monitoring since its failure can result in bent valves.
At higher mileage, oil consumption tends to increase due to wear on piston rings and valve seals.
Overall, this engine can last around 310,000 to 520,000 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.
