Timing chain wear:
Over time, the chain stretches, which can lead to poor engine performance and the appearance of extraneous noise.
Recommendation: Periodically check the condition of the chain and tensioners, especially at mileage over 150,000 km.
Oil leaks due to gaskets:
Valve cover gaskets can begin to leak over time, which will lead to oil leakage.
Recommendation: Watch for oil leaks, regularly check the oil level and replace the gaskets in a timely manner.
Problems with the VVEL (Variable Valve Event and Lift) system:
Sometimes there are malfunctions in the valve timing and lift system, which can cause uneven engine operation and loss of power.
Recommendation: Regularly service the VVEL system, monitor the serviceability of electric drives and valves.
Clogged Direct Injection System (DIS) injectors:
Poor quality fuel can cause injectors to become clogged, which will result in poor engine performance and increased fuel consumption.
Recommendation: Use high quality fuel and clean the injectors periodically.
Engine overheating:
Insufficient cooling can cause overheating, which can damage the cylinder head.
Recommendation: Check the coolant level regularly and monitor the condition of the radiator and thermostat.
Regular Oil and Filter Changes:
Use a quality engine oil that meets the manufacturer's specifications (usually 5W-30 or 5W-40). Change the oil every 7,500–10,000 km, along with changing the oil filter.
Cooling System Checks:
Periodically check the coolant level and condition. Change the coolant every 60,000–90,000 km or as recommended by the manufacturer.
Spark Plug Maintenance:
Replace spark plugs every 60,000–80,000 km. Use only the recommended spark plugs for this engine (iridium).
Intake System and Throttle Body Cleaning:
Periodically clean the throttle body and intake system to prevent carbon deposits from building up, which can reduce engine efficiency.
Checking and replacing belts and tensioners:
Regularly check the condition of the drive belts and their tension. If necessary, replace the tensioners and rollers to prevent belt failure.
Scheduled maintenance of the VVEL system:
Regularly check the operation of the variable valve timing and valve lift system. At the first sign of malfunction, contact the service.
Cleaning and diagnostics of injectors:
Clean the injectors every 30,000–40,000 km, especially if low-quality fuel is used.
