Problems:

Oil consumption

The B4204TE engine may experience higher oil consumption, which can lead to the need for more frequent oil changes.

Turbocharger issues

Turbochargers can wear out or fail, leading to reduced engine performance and the need for expensive repairs.

Timing chain problems

Issues with the timing chain can cause rattling noises and, if not addressed, can lead to severe engine damage.

Piston ring wear

Excessive wear on piston rings can result in loss of compression and reduced engine performance.

Fuel injector problems

Faulty fuel injectors can cause misfires, rough idling, and reduced fuel efficiency.

Cooling system failures

Problems with the cooling system can lead to overheating, which can cause significant engine damage if not promptly addressed.

Engine control unit (ecu) malfunctions

The ECU can experience software or hardware issues that affect engine performance and drivability.

Carbon buildup

Direct injection engines like the B4204TE can suffer from carbon buildup on the intake valves, leading to reduced airflow and performance.

Vibration and noise

Four-cylinder engines can sometimes suffer from balance issues, leading to increased vibration and noise.

Exhaust gas recirculation (egr) valve problems

A malfunctioning EGR valve can cause issues with emissions and engine performance.
