Known Issues
Turbocharger Reliability:
Can be prone to issues if not properly maintained, especially oil feed lines and seals. Overheating can be a concern.
Electronics:
Older wiring harnesses and components can degrade, leading to intermittent electrical issues (e.g., fuel pump relay, interior lighting).
Fuel System:
Clogged fuel injectors, aging fuel pumps, and vacuum leaks can affect performance.
Suspension Bushings:
Rubber bushings in the suspension and steering can wear out, leading to clunks and imprecise handling.
Timing Belt:
Critical to replace on schedule; failure can cause catastrophic engine damage due to the interference design.
