- In cases of injector problems, clean or replace fuel injectors as needed.

Prevention:
- Follow the manufacturer’s recommended maintenance schedule, including timely spark plug replacement.
- Use high-quality fuel and engine oil to maintain combustion efficiency and engine health.
- Regularly inspect and replace air filters to prevent intake contamination.
- Avoid prolonged idling and aggressive driving to reduce stress on the turbocharger.
- Keep the engine software updated through authorized service centers.
- Periodically check for vacuum leaks and turbo system integrity during routine service.
