It is a reliable motor, its quality of assembly and components is trustworthy. There have been complaints on the forum about weak wiring, sensor failures, and constantly leaking pipes. The timing belt needs to be replaced every 60,000 km, however, if it breaks, the valves do not bend. After a mileage of 100,000 km, lubricant consumption usually occurs due to ring buildup. There are no hydraulic compensators, and the valve clearances will need to be adjusted, otherwise they will burn out.
