  • From cheap lubrication, hydraulic lifters here can knock already by 50-70 thousand km;
  • In addition, units of this series are prone to oil consumption even at low mileage;
  • According to the regulations, the timing belt is changed every 60,000 km, but when it breaks, the valves do not bend;
  • The remaining engine problems are most often associated with the vagaries of the ignition system.
