Most common problems:

Oil consumption

The GDI TAU engine in the 2014 Hyundai Equus is known for higher-than-average oil consumption, which can lead to frequent oil top-ups and potential engine damage if not monitored.

Carbon build-up

Direct injection engines like the GDI TAU are prone to carbon deposits on intake valves, which can cause rough idling, reduced performance, and increased emissions.

Timing chain issues

Some owners have reported issues with the timing chain tensioner, which can lead to a noisy engine and potential engine damage if the chain skips or breaks.

Fuel injector problems

Fuel injectors in GDI engines can become clogged or fail, leading to poor engine performance, misfires, and reduced fuel efficiency.

Cooling system leaks

The 2014 Hyundai Equus may experience leaks in the cooling system, which can cause the engine to overheat and lead to serious engine damage if not addressed promptly.

Sensor failures

Various sensors, such as the oxygen sensor and mass airflow sensor, can fail, leading to poor engine performance and reduced fuel efficiency.

Spark plug wear

Due to the high performance of the GDI TAU engine, spark plugs may wear out more quickly, necessitating more frequent replacements to maintain optimal engine performance.
