  • The reason for floating engine speeds is most often the contamination of the throttle assembly.
  • Here, antifreeze leaks from the thermostat and plastic tubes of the cooling system are not uncommon.
  • Keep an eye on the condition of the timing belts, when it breaks, it always bends the intake valves.
  • At high mileage, oil burn often begins due to wear of rings or caps.
