Known Issues for This Vehicle

Oil leaks

The B5234T3 engine is known to develop oil leaks, particularly from the turbo oil return line and valve cover gasket which can lead to oil dripping and burning smells.

Turbocharger issues

Given that this engine is turbocharged, issues such as turbo failure or boost leaks can occur, leading to a loss of power and increased exhaust smoke.

Pcv system failure

The Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) system can become clogged, leading to increased pressure in the crankcase which may cause oil leaks and rough idling.

Timing belt wear

This engine requires regular timing belt maintenance. If not replaced at recommended intervals, it can lead to catastrophic engine damage if it fails.

Ignition coil failure

The ignition coils on this engine can fail over time, causing misfires, poor acceleration, and reduced fuel efficiency.
