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

Engine CABB commonly faces issues like carbon buildup on intake valves due to direct injection, turbocharger wastegate rattle, and timing chain tensioner wear. For diagnosis, listen for rattling noises at startup and check for rough idling or loss of power. Prevention includes using high-quality fuel, regular oil changes with manufacturer-recommended oil, and periodic intake cleaning to reduce carbon deposits. Solutions involve cleaning or replacing the intake valves, servicing or replacing the turbocharger wastegate actuator, and inspecting the timing chain and tensioner for wear, replacing parts as needed to avoid engine damage. Regular maintenance is key to reliability.
