On forums, this unit is often criticized for its low reliability and noisy operation. The most common problems for owners are throttle assembly malfunctions. Due to crankcase ventilation freezing in winter, oil is often forced out through the dipstick. Keep an eye on the condition of the timing belts: their lifespan is not high, and if they break, the valves can get bent. With mileage over 100,000 km, piston rings frequently become clogged and oil consumption increases.
