Most common problems, symptoms & fixes for the CLAB engine.
Engine CLAB commonly faces issues like carbon buildup on intake valves, EGR valve clogging, and turbocharger wear. Diagnosis involves checking for rough idling, loss of power, or increased fuel consumption, alongside diagnostic scans for error codes related to EGR or turbo faults. Prevention includes regular use of high-quality fuel, timely oil changes with manufacturer-recommended oil, and periodic intake system cleaning. Solutions often require cleaning or replacing the EGR valve, performing walnut blasting to remove carbon deposits, and inspecting or replacing the turbocharger if necessary. Maintaining the cooling system and ensuring proper air filtration also helps prolong engine life.
