Engine Overview and Common Failures

The units of this series appeared not long ago and statistics about their breakdowns have not yet been collected. Currently, the main complaints are related to the temperamental nature of direct injection and carbon deposits on the valves. The weak point of the engine is the thermomodule, which replaces the thermostat here. Periodically, issues arise with the Vanos phase regulators or the Valvetronic system. Sometimes, the support bearing is destroyed due to excessive axial clearance on the crankshaft.
