Known Issues

Head Gaskets:

While less prevalent in the SG generation compared to earlier models, head gasket leaks can still occur, especially on high-mileage naturally aspirated EJ25 engines. Look for coolant loss or white smoke.

Timing Belt Tensioner:

Failure of the timing belt tensioner can lead to premature belt wear or failure. It's critical to replace it with the timing belt service.

Catalytic Converter:

Over time, catalytic converters can become clogged or fail, leading to reduced engine performance and check engine lights. This can sometimes be related to misfires or oil consumption.

Cv Boots:

Torn CV (Constant Velocity) joint boots can lead to grease loss and eventual CV joint failure, often accompanied by clicking noises during turns.

ABS Sensors:

ABS wheel speed sensors can fail, causing the ABS warning light to illuminate and the ABS system to deactivate. Proper diagnosis is needed to identify the faulty sensor.
