Most common problems:

Oil leaks

Gaskets and seals can wear out over time, leading to oil leaks which can cause low oil levels and potential engine damage.

Timing belt failure

The timing belt in the B20A5 engine needs to be replaced periodically. Failure to do so can result in severe engine damage.

Overheating

Radiator and cooling system issues can cause the engine to overheat, leading to potential head gasket failure.

Valve clearance issues

Incorrect valve clearance can lead to poor engine performance and increased wear on engine components.

Ignition system problems

Faulty spark plugs or ignition coils can lead to misfires and poor engine performance.

Fuel injector problems

Clogged or malfunctioning fuel injectors can cause poor fuel economy and engine misfires.

Head gasket failure

Common in older engines, this can lead to mixing of oil and coolant, causing severe engine damage.

Exhaust manifold cracks

The exhaust manifold can develop cracks over time, leading to exhaust leaks and reduced performance.

Sensor failures

Older sensors can fail, leading to incorrect readings and potential engine management issues.
