This engine is simple and reliable, it rarely breaks down and can be repaired inexpensively in any garage. Cleaning either the throttle body or the crankcase ventilation system helps with idle speed issues. Sometimes, the exhaust manifold cracks and replacement can only be found at a salvage yard. The camshaft position sensor often fails here, so make sure to monitor its condition. Keep an eye on the timing belt, its lifespan is 60,000 km, and if a valve breaks, it may cause damage.
