Most common problems, symptoms & fixes for the AGU engine.
Engine AGU is known for issues like oil sludge buildup, timing belt wear, and turbocharger failures. Diagnose sludge by checking oil condition and engine performance; prevent it with regular oil changes using high-quality synthetic oil. Inspect and replace the timing belt every 60,000–90,000 km to avoid catastrophic engine damage. Turbocharger problems often stem from oil starvation or contamination; ensure clean oil and proper warm-up/cool-down routines. Common fixes include replacing worn seals, cleaning or replacing the turbo, and addressing any oil leaks promptly. Regular maintenance and attentive oil care significantly enhance AGU engine reliability and longevity.
