The engine number G4LE is located at the front, at the junction with the gearbox. This engine is not officially supplied to us, so there is limited information about it. Engines from the first years were subject to recall due to coolant leakage onto the EPCU board. Like all direct injection engines, this one suffers from carbon deposits on the intake valves. Closer to 200,000 kilometers of mileage, some owners had to replace the timing chain. However, the main problem is the limited selection and high prices of spare parts.
