The main problem of this turbocharged engine is its high tendency for detonation. Therefore, it is important to monitor the quality of the fuel used and the cleanliness of the radiators. The second most popular problem is the limited lifespan of the timing chain system. And if you miss the timing chain replacement, you will have to purchase expensive phaser regulators. Weak points of the engine also include the short-lived throttle assembly and the fuel injection pump.
