Known Issues

Engine Wear:

Potential for piston ring wear or ring land failure if poorly maintained or consistently driven hard without proper warm-up/cool-down cycles. Rod bearing wear is also a concern under extreme use.

Ayc System:

AYC pump can fail over time due to wear or contamination. Sensors and solenoids can also be a source of issues.

Turbocharger:

Oil starvation or contamination can lead to turbo failure. Regular oil changes and proper cool-down are crucial.

Clutch:

Clutch wear is normal, but aggressive driving can accelerate it. Clutch release bearing can also fail.

Rust:

As with many cars of this era, rust can be an issue, particularly in the sills, wheel arches, and subframes, especially in areas with harsh winters.
