Most common problems, symptoms & fixes for the 1.4 DOHC engine.

Engine 1.4 DOHC in Chevrolet Daewoo Kalos, Nubira, and Lacetti models commonly faces issues like timing chain wear, valve cover gasket leaks, and ignition coil failures. Diagnose timing chain problems by unusual engine noise or rough idling; prevent by regular oil changes using recommended grades. Valve cover gasket leaks cause oil seepage—inspect visually and replace gasket if leaking. Ignition coil faults lead to misfires; check with an OBD-II scanner and replace faulty coils promptly.
