Engine Overview and Common Failures

The weight of the X22XE engine according to the catalog is 140 kg. The engine number X22XE is located at the junction of the block and the gearbox. Loss of traction and fluctuating engine speeds are related to contamination of the PCV, CKP, or EGR. The exhaust manifold often cracks, and replacement will have to be sought at a dismantling yard. There are many problems with the timing belt, where jumping can cause phase misalignment and valve bending. Various sensors often fail, with TPS and CKPS being the most glitchy. When using cheap lubricants, hydraulic lifters can start ticking at 100,000 km.
