Most common problems, symptoms & fixes for the AJM engine.
Engine AJM is known for common issues such as dual mass flywheel failure, EGR valve clogging, and turbocharger wear. Diagnosis includes checking for rattling noises (flywheel), rough idling or loss of power (EGR), and turbo lag or smoke (turbo). Preventive maintenance involves regular oil changes with quality oil, cleaning or replacing the EGR valve periodically, and monitoring boost pressure. Solutions include replacing the dual mass flywheel if noisy, cleaning or swapping the EGR valve to restore airflow, and servicing or replacing the turbocharger if performance drops. Timely attention to these areas ensures longevity and reliability of the AJM engine.
