Engine reliability and common problems:
One of the most notorious issues with this engine series is excessive oil consumption caused by stuck piston rings. Another common problem is the actuator of the turbocharger’s wastegate, which is prone to seizing and eventually breaking. Continuous driving in a consistent manner or specific characteristics of the turbocharger can lead to the wastegate shaft seizing or the actuator beginning to stick. In most cases, applying high-temperature grease and operating the actuator resolves the problem. To prevent this, occasional hard acceleration is recommended.The complex and expensive plastic water pump, equipped with two thermostats, often develops leaks over time.
Regular checks of the timing belt are essential, as it should be inspected every 60,000 km. If it fails, valve damage is likely.
Engine owners frequently report noise and rattling during operation.
Intake air overheating is a design-related issue due to choices made in the intercooler system. This results in reduced engine efficiency, particularly noticeable after software modifications like chip tuning.
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.

| Camshaft drive | Timing belt Timing belt engines are generally quieter and less vibrating than chain engines, but belt usually needs to be replaced more often and the risk of breakage is higher. More service info |
| Timing belt change interval | 60,000 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. |
