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

Engine AVG commonly faces issues like EGR valve clogging, turbocharger wear, and injector problems. Diagnosis involves checking for rough idling, loss of power, and increased smoke. Use an OBD scanner to identify fault codes related to EGR or injectors. Prevention includes regular oil changes with quality oil, timely replacement of air and fuel filters, and cleaning the EGR valve periodically. Turbocharger health can be maintained by avoiding abrupt engine shutdowns after hard driving. Solutions often require cleaning or replacing the EGR valve, servicing or replacing injectors, and inspecting the turbocharger for shaft play or oil leaks. Regular maintenance ensures longevity and performance.
