Timing chain wear:

Over time, the timing chain can stretch, which causes noise and reduces the accuracy of the valve timing. This can lead to a decrease in power and deterioration in fuel economy.

Recommendation: Conduct regular diagnostics of the timing chain and, if there are signs of stretching, replace it along with the tensioners and guides.

VVEL (Variable Valve Event and Lift) system wear:

The VVEL mechanism, which regulates the operation of the valves, can be subject to wear. This can cause knocking in the valves and affect the smoothness of the engine.

Recommendation: Regularly check the condition of the VVEL during diagnostics. In case of malfunctions, it is recommended to contact a specialist for fine adjustment or replacement of system components.

Carbon deposits on valves:

Due to the peculiarities of the direct fuel injection system, deposits can accumulate on the valves, which reduces engine efficiency.

Recommendation: Periodically clean the valves, use high-quality fuel and additives to clean the fuel system.

Oil leaks:

Leaks can occur through seals and gaskets, especially around the cylinder head and seals.

Recommendation: Check the engine for oil leaks and replace worn gaskets and seals if necessary.

Overheating:

The engine can be prone to overheating if the cooling system is faulty, which can lead to damage to the aluminum block.

Recommendation: Regularly check the coolant level, cleanliness of the radiator and the condition of the thermostat.

Maintenance recommendations:

Oil and filter changes: Use quality oil that meets VK50VE specifications and change it every 5,000-7,000 km. Regular oil filter changes are also a must.

Fuel injection system diagnostics: Check the injectors and injection system to avoid fuel supply problems and clogging.

Cooling system check: Perform preventive maintenance on the radiator, thermostat and pipes. Make sure the cooling system is working properly.

Regular computer diagnostics: This will help identify errors in the engine management system and prevent major malfunctions.
