Most common problems:

Oil consumption

The K24A2 engine is known for higher oil consumption as it ages, which can be due to worn piston rings or valve seals.

Timing chain wear

Over time, the timing chain can stretch or wear out, causing issues with engine timing and potentially leading to engine damage if not addressed.

Valve adjustment

This engine may require periodic valve adjustments to maintain optimal performance and prevent valve train noise.

Vtc actuator noise

The Variable Timing Control (VTC) actuator in the K24A2 engine can produce a noticeable rattle at startup, which may indicate the need for replacement.

Head gasket failure

Some owners report head gasket issues, which could lead to coolant leaks and engine overheating.

Pcv valve issues

The Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) valve can become clogged or fail, leading to increased oil consumption and potential oil leaks.

Ignition coil failure

The ignition coils in this engine may fail over time, causing misfires and rough engine performance.

Fuel injector problems

Fuel injectors may become clogged or fail, leading to issues with fuel delivery and engine performance.
