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

Engine AUW commonly faces issues like timing chain tensioner failure, oil leaks, and ignition coil faults. Diagnosis involves checking for rattling noises at startup (timing chain), inspecting for oil seepage around valve covers and oil pan, and scanning for misfire codes. Preventive measures include regular oil changes with high-quality synthetic oil to maintain proper lubrication and timely replacement of ignition coils every 80,000 km. Solutions involve replacing the timing chain tensioner if noisy, resealing gaskets to fix leaks, and swapping faulty ignition coils to restore smooth running. Early attention prevents costly engine damage and ensures reliability.
