Most common problems:

Oil consumption

The K24Z3 engine is known to consume oil at a higher rate than usual, which may require frequent top-offs between oil changes.

Timing chain wear

The timing chain in this engine can stretch over time, causing rattling noises and potentially leading to engine timing issues.

Vtc actuator failure

The Variable Timing Control (VTC) actuator can fail, resulting in a rattling noise at startup and potential performance issues.

Spark plug fouling

Due to oil consumption or other factors, spark plugs can foul more frequently, leading to misfires and reduced engine performance.

Water pump failure

The water pump can fail prematurely, leading to overheating issues and potential engine damage if not addressed promptly.

Valve cover gasket leaks

The valve cover gasket can degrade over time, causing oil leaks that may lead to engine bay contamination and potential fire hazards.

Egr valve problems

The Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) valve can become clogged or fail, leading to rough idling, reduced fuel efficiency, and increased emissions.

Pcv valve issues

The Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) valve can become clogged or fail, causing increased oil consumption, oil leaks, and potential engine performance issues.
