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

Engine BGU commonly faces issues with carbon buildup on intake valves due to its direct injection system, causing rough idling and reduced performance. Diagnosis involves checking for misfires and performing a compression test. Prevent carbon buildup by using high-quality fuel and periodic intake cleaning with walnut blasting. The timing chain tensioner can wear prematurely, leading to rattling noises; inspect and replace tensioners as needed. Regular oil changes with manufacturer-recommended grades prevent sludge and wear. Cooling system maintenance is crucial to avoid overheating, which can damage the cylinder head gasket. Address any coolant leaks promptly. Overall, timely servicing and attentive monitoring ensure engine longevity and reliability.
