VQ35DE

Engine Number of Cylinders

Problems:

Oil consumption

The VQ35DE engine is known to have issues with higher than normal oil consumption, which can lead to low oil levels and potential engine damage if not monitored regularly.

Timing chain tensioner failure

The timing chain tensioner in the VQ35DE can wear out prematurely, leading to timing chain rattle and potential timing issues that could cause engine damage.

Camshaft and crankshaft sensor failure

These sensors are prone to failure, which can cause the engine to stall or not start. Replacement of these sensors is often necessary.

Coolant leaks

The VQ35DE engine can develop coolant leaks from the radiator, hoses, or even the head gasket, potentially leading to overheating if not addressed.

Throttle body issues

The electronic throttle body can develop issues leading to erratic idle, poor throttle response, or even limp mode. Cleaning or replacement may be required.

Ignition coil failure

The ignition coils on the VQ35DE engine can fail, causing misfires, rough idle, and reduced performance. Replacing the faulty coils usually resolves the issue.

Valve cover gasket leaks

The valve cover gaskets can leak oil, which can lead to oil on the spark plugs and ignition coil failure. Replacement of the gaskets is necessary to fix this issue.

VK45DE

Engine Number of Cylinders

Problems:

Oil consumption issues

The VK45DE engine is known for higher than normal oil consumption, which can lead to low oil levels and potential engine damage if not monitored closely.

Timing chain wear

Over time, the timing chain on the VK45DE can stretch or wear out, leading to issues with engine timing and potentially causing engine performance problems or failure.

Variable valve timing (vvt) issues

Problems with the VVT system, such as faulty solenoids or actuators, can lead to poor engine performance, reduced fuel economy, and increased emissions.

Cooling system problems

Radiator and coolant leaks are common issues that can cause the engine to overheat if not addressed promptly.

Injector problems

Fuel injector failure or clogging can lead to misfires, poor fuel economy, and rough idling.

Camshaft position sensor failure

A failing camshaft position sensor can cause the engine to stall, misfire, or have difficulty starting.

Intake manifold gasket leaks

Leaks in the intake manifold gasket can cause vacuum leaks, leading to rough idling and poor engine performance.

Exhaust system issues

Problems with the exhaust system, such as leaks or failing catalytic converters, can affect engine performance and emissions.
