Engine reliability and common problems:
The strengths of this engine lie in its durable components, long lifespan, reliability in everyday use, and substantial power reserves.However, there are notable weaknesses. Early models were equipped with a problematic Magneti Marelli electronic throttle body, which caused frequent issues before being replaced with a standard throttle system. Oil leaks from the camshaft seals and VVT intake pulley are also common, along with problems in the crankcase ventilation system.
Owners have reported premature wear on engine mounts, the thermostat, the water pump, and the fuel pump. One of the most frequent complaints was related to the faulty electronic throttle system in early versions.
Another known issue is oil leakage from the variable valve timing system. While the timing belt is designed to last 120,000 km, failures can occur earlier, potentially causing valve damage. Additionally, crankcase ventilation system blockages often lead to increased oil consumption.
Overall, this engine can last around 360,000 to 600,000 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.
