Known Issues for This Vehicle
Oil leaks
The M133 engine, like many high-performance engines, can suffer from oil leaks, particularly around the valve cover gasket and oil pan gasket.
Turbocharger issues
The M133 engine features a turbocharger, which can experience issues such as turbo lag, excessive oil consumption, or even failure if not properly maintained.
Direct fuel injection problems
While providing better fuel efficiency and performance, direct fuel injection systems can suffer from carbon buildup on intake valves over time.
Cooling system failures
High-performance engines like the M133 can have cooling system issues, including radiator leaks or water pump failures, which can lead to overheating.
Ignition coil failures
The 4-cylinder M133 engine may experience ignition coil failures, leading to misfires and a decrease in engine performance.
Timing chain tensioner issues
Problems with the timing chain tensioner can cause rattling noises and, if left unaddressed, can lead to serious engine damage.
Fuel pump failure
Direct fuel injection engines often rely on high-pressure fuel pumps, which can fail and result in poor engine performance or starting issues.
Excessive oil consumption
Some M133 engines are known to consume more oil than expected, which can be a concern for owners if not regularly monitored.
Sensor failures
Issues with various engine sensors (e.g., oxygen sensors, mass airflow sensors) can lead to poor engine performance and increased emissions.
Pcv (positive crankcase ventilation) valve issues
A malfunctioning PCV valve can cause oil to enter the intake system, leading to engine performance problems and increased emissions.
