  • In electrical terms, the crankshaft position sensor and the coolant temperature sensor, as well as the idle speed controller, are most often buggy;
  • The timing belt is designed for approximately 90,000 km, and if it breaks, it can bend the valves;
  • After 250 – 300 thousand kilometers, an oil burn often begins due to the occurrence of rings.
