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

Engine ASG commonly faces issues like timing chain tensioner failure, leading to rattling noises and potential engine damage. Diagnosis involves listening for unusual engine sounds and inspecting the timing chain assembly. Preventive measures include regular oil changes with high-quality oil to ensure proper lubrication. Another frequent problem is carbon buildup on intake valves, causing rough idling and reduced performance; using fuel system cleaners and periodic intake cleaning helps. Cooling system leaks and thermostat failures can cause overheating; regular coolant checks and timely replacement of hoses and thermostat are advised. Addressing these issues promptly ensures engine longevity and reliable performance.
