Most common problems, symptoms & fixes for the TU3 engine.
Engine TU3 is known for reliability but common issues include timing belt wear, oil leaks, and carburetor or fuel injection problems. Diagnosis involves checking for unusual noises indicating timing belt wear and inspecting for oil leaks around the valve cover gasket and oil pan. Fuel delivery problems may cause rough idling or poor acceleration. Preventive maintenance includes timely replacement of the timing belt every 60,000-80,000 km, regular oil changes, and cleaning or servicing the fuel system. Solutions involve replacing worn belts, gaskets, and cleaning or repairing the carburetor or fuel injectors to restore smooth engine performance and prevent costly damage.
