Most common problems, symptoms & fixes for the G3LC engine.

Engine G3LC, a 1.0 T-GDI turbocharged unit, commonly faces carbon buildup on intake valves due to direct injection, causing rough idling and reduced performance. Diagnosis involves checking for misfires and performing a walnut blasting cleaning. Turbocharger wear may occur; monitor boost pressure and listen for unusual noises. Regular oil changes with manufacturer-recommended synthetic oil prevent sludge and turbo damage. Use high-quality fuel to minimize deposits. Timing chain tensioner issues can arise; inspect for rattling noises and replace tensioners if needed. Preventive maintenance and timely software updates from Hyundai dealerships help maintain engine reliability and efficiency.
