Engine Overview and Common Failures

The engine is highly sensitive to the quality of gasoline and oil, otherwise its lifespan is short. Like any fuel injection system, it is prone to carbon buildup. Fuel injectors and fuel pump often require repairs as early as 80,000-100,000 kilometers. Around this mileage, issues with Valvetronic, Vanos, and timing chain may arise. Cooling system leaks are also common, and the water pump sometimes fails before reaching 50,000 kilometers.
