Electrical problems This iron-reliable engine is notorious for its regular electrical failures. In addition to sensors and ignition coils, weak wiring also causes a lot of trouble here. Phase regulator crack Another weak point of the engine is the phase regulator on the intake camshaft. It can fail and start crackling even before reaching 100,000 km, and replacement is quite expensive. Fluctuating RPMs Many forum pages are dedicated to finding the cause of the engine's unstable operation. Most often, cleaning the throttle body and injectors or eliminating any air leaks in the intake helps. Lubrication leaks This unit constantly loses oil due to leaks, usually lubrication seeps through the camshaft seals or crankshaft seals, from under the valve cover or through the phase regulator valve. Minor breakdowns Lambda sensors and engine mounts have a relatively low lifespan in this engine.
