Most common problems:

Oil dilution

The L15B7 engine, especially in colder climates, can experience oil dilution where fuel mixes with engine oil, reducing its lubrication properties.

Turbocharger issues

The turbocharger in the L15B7 engine can sometimes experience failure or reduced performance due to carbon buildup or oil contamination.

Timing chain tensioner

The timing chain tensioner in the L15B7 engine may be prone to wear or failure, which can result in timing issues and potential engine damage.

Fuel injector problems

Direct fuel injection systems can sometimes experience clogging or failure of fuel injectors, leading to poor engine performance or misfires.

Carbon buildup

Direct injection engines, like the L15B7, can be prone to carbon buildup on the intake valves, which can affect engine performance and efficiency.

Coolant leaks

Some 2018 Honda Civic models with the L15B7 engine have reported coolant leaks, which can cause the engine to overheat if not addressed.

High oil consumption

There have been reports of higher-than-normal oil consumption in some L15B7 engines, requiring more frequent oil top-ups.
