Engine reliability and common problems:
Engines in this series are often associated with oil consumption issues, which many owners report over time.In the initial production years, a common weakness was the coolant reservoir hose, which had a tendency to crack. Fuel injectors require regular maintenance, as neglecting to clean them every 60,000 km increases the risk of failure.
Timing belt replacement is crucial at 120,000 km to avoid severe engine damage, as a broken belt can lead to bent valves. Another issue that arises occasionally is oil leakage, typically from the valve cover or worn-out seals.
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.

Timing belt change interval | 120,000 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. |
