Most common problems, symptoms & fixes for the ABK engine.

Engine ABK commonly faces issues like oil leaks from valve cover gaskets and camshaft seals, and occasional timing belt wear. Diagnosis involves checking for visible oil seepage and listening for unusual engine noises indicating timing belt strain. Preventive measures include regular oil changes using quality oil and timely replacement of the timing belt every 60,000 to 90,000 km to avoid catastrophic failure. Address oil leaks promptly by replacing gaskets and seals to prevent engine damage. Also, ensure the cooling system is maintained to avoid overheating, which can affect engine longevity. Routine inspections and maintenance are key to reliable ABK engine performance.
