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

Engine AGN commonly faces timing belt wear and tensioner failure, risking severe engine damage. Regularly inspect and replace the timing belt every 60,000–90,000 km to prevent failure. Oil leaks from camshaft seals and valve cover gaskets are frequent; check and replace seals promptly to avoid oil loss and contamination. Ignition coil and spark plug wear can cause misfires—routine spark plug replacement and coil testing improve performance. Overheating issues may arise from thermostat or coolant leaks; maintain coolant levels and inspect the cooling system regularly. Following these preventive measures ensures engine longevity and reliable operation in the listed vehicles.
