Engine reliability and common problems:
This engine is widely regarded as reliable, though it can develop certain issues over time. One of the most common problems is increased oil consumption, often starting after 120,000 km. This is frequently accompanied by wear and failure of hydraulic lifters, especially if low-quality oil is used, making proper maintenance crucial to avoid premature damage.Another weak point is the oil pump's pressure relief valve, which can cause oil flow problems if it malfunctions. On the plus side, the timing belt, while requiring replacement every 60,000 km, does not lead to valve damage if it breaks, offering a level of reassurance to owners.
Ignition system issues are also a regular concern, often contributing to minor but persistent problems with the engine's performance. With regular maintenance and attention to these areas, the engine remains a dependable and robust choice for long-term use.
Overall, this engine can last around 270,000 to 450,000 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.
