The Variable Timing Control (VTC) actuator can produce a rattling noise during startup, which may indicate the need for replacement.
Spark plug fouling
Due to oil consumption issues, spark plugs can become fouled more frequently, leading to misfires or poor engine performance.
Head gasket failure
While not extremely common, head gasket failures can occur, leading to coolant leaks and potential engine overheating.
Throttle body issues
The electronic throttle body can sometimes malfunction, causing erratic idling or reduced engine performance.
