Scoring in the cylinders is less common than in its predecessor, but it still occurs. The culprit can be poor oil or gasoline, as well as overheating or driving with an engine that is not warmed up. There are a lot of troubles associated with coolant leaks from burst hoses or the reservoir. The high-pressure fuel pump of the direct injection system and the fuel pump in the tank often fail. Weak points of the engine include ignition coils, thermostat, water pump, and vacuum pump.
