Most common problems, symptoms & fixes for the AUM engine.
Engine AUM is known for issues like turbocharger wear, carbon buildup on intake valves, and oil leaks. Diagnosis should include checking for turbo boost pressure loss and performing a compression test. Preventive maintenance involves regular oil changes with high-quality synthetic oil and using fuel system cleaners to reduce carbon deposits. Common fixes include replacing the turbocharger if worn, cleaning or decarbonizing intake valves, and repairing oil seals to stop leaks. Monitoring coolant levels and ensuring the cooling system is functioning well helps prevent overheating. Early attention to these areas ensures longevity and reliable performance of the AUM engine.
