Engines of this series are known to make noise, whistle, and click, but it is not a malfunction. Oil leaks often occur, especially from under the valve cover or pressure sensor. The outdated crankcase ventilation system is second in terms of lubricant leaks. Malfunctions in the operation of the electric fans often lead to engine overheating. The thermostat, pump, ignition module, and spark plugs have a lower lifespan than usual.
