Most common problems:

Oil consumption

Excessive oil consumption can be an issue, especially in older engines, leading to frequent top-ups and potential engine damage if not monitored.

Timing chain wear

The K20Z1 engine uses a timing chain that can stretch or wear over time, causing poor engine performance or potential engine damage if the chain skips a tooth.

Valve adjustment

Regular valve adjustments are necessary to maintain performance and prevent valve damage, as improper clearances can lead to rough running or loss of power.

Vtc actuator noise

The Variable Timing Control (VTC) actuator can produce a rattling noise, especially during cold starts, due to wear or oil pressure issues.

Sensor failures

Sensors such as the oxygen sensor, camshaft position sensor, or crankshaft position sensor can fail, causing poor performance, rough idling, or check engine lights.

Cooling system leaks

Radiator or hose leaks can lead to overheating, which can cause severe engine damage if not addressed promptly.
