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

Engine CAEB commonly faces issues such as carbon buildup on intake valves due to direct injection, timing chain tensioner wear, and occasional oil consumption. For diagnosis, listen for rattling noises at startup indicating timing chain tensioner wear, and use a diagnostic scanner to check for misfire or sensor faults. Prevention includes regular oil changes with high-quality synthetic oil, using top-tier fuel, and periodic intake cleaning to reduce carbon deposits. Solutions involve replacing the timing chain tensioner if noisy, performing walnut blasting for intake valve cleaning, and addressing oil leaks promptly. Early maintenance helps ensure reliability and longevity of the CAEB engine.
