Engine reliability and common problems:
This engine is considered one of the most reliable in its class and, with proper maintenance, does not cause major issues for owners. However, its performance is rather modest.The timing chain has a relatively short lifespan, with many owners needing to replace it between 150,000 and 200,000 km. When doing so, it is advisable to inspect the variable valve timing actuators, as their durability is similar.
Water pump leaks are a frequent issue, with some failing as early as 50,000 km. Oil seepage near the timing chain tensioner is also common, but replacing the gasket usually resolves the problem.
A knocking sound at mid-range RPMs is often a sign that the timing chain tensioner needs replacement. Additionally, the alternator belt can produce a noticeable whistling noise.
Unstable idle speed is another common problem, typically caused by a faulty throttle position sensor or a dirty throttle body, both of which require attention to restore smooth operation.
Overall, this engine can last around 180,000 to 300,000 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 chain Chain motors are considered more reliable, chain replacement usually is required less often than a timing belt, but they are often louder and vibrate more. More service info |
Timing chain change interval | 150,000 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. |
