Most common problems, symptoms & fixes for the CLAA engine.
Engine CLAA is known for issues such as carbon buildup on intake valves due to direct injection, EGR valve clogging, and occasional turbocharger wear. Diagnosis involves checking for rough idling, loss of power, or increased fuel consumption. A thorough inspection with a diagnostic scanner can reveal fault codes related to EGR or turbo performance. Prevention includes regular use of high-quality fuel, periodic intake cleaning, and timely oil changes with manufacturer-recommended oils. Solutions often require cleaning or replacing the EGR valve, performing walnut shell blasting to remove carbon deposits, and inspecting or replacing the turbocharger if necessary. Maintaining the cooling system also helps prevent overheating-related damage.
