Engine Code:
AEB (Likely 1.8L Turbocharged - common for this year/model, though others existed)
Displacement Liters:
1.8 L (for AEB)
Configuration:
Inline 4-cylinder
Fuel Delivery:
Multi-point Fuel Injection (MPI) or Direct Injection (depending on specific engine variant)
Horsepower Ps:
Approx. 150 PS (for AEB)
Torque Nm:
Approx. 210 Nm (for AEB)
Fuel Type:
Unleaded Gasoline
Common Variants:
1.6L (ADP, AHL), 1.8L (ADR, APT, AVV), 1.8L Turbo (AEB, APU, ARK, AWM), 2.4L V6 (ACK, ALF, AML, APF), 2.8L V6 (AAH, ABC, ACK, AMX, APR, AQD)
Oil Change:
Typically every 10,000-15,000 km or 1 year, whichever comes first (refer to manual for specific engine variant).
Timing Belt:
Crucial for 1.8T and V6 engines, typically replaced every 100,000-120,000 km or 5-7 years (very important to verify in manual).
Engine Oil:
API SJ or ACEA A3-96/B3-96, viscosity typically 5W-40 or 0W-40 (consult manual for exact specification based on engine).
Coolant:
G12 or G12+ antifreeze (purple colored), mixed with distilled water at a 50/50 ratio.
Transmission Fluid Manual:
API GL-4, SAE 75W-90 or 75W-85 synthetic gear oil.
Transmission Fluid Automatic:
G 052 162 A1 or similar (specify for ZF 5HP19FL, consult manual for exact part number).
Common Problem 1:
Ignition coil failures (especially on 1.8T engines).
Common Problem 2:
Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor issues leading to rough idle or poor performance.
Common Problem 3:
EGR valve clogging (on some engine variants).
Common Problem 4:
PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) system issues, leading to oil leaks or poor running.
Common Problem 5:
Check engine light due to various sensor failures (e.g., O2 sensors, coolant temp sensor).
Common Problem 6:
Suspension component wear (control arm bushings, ball joints).
Oil Filter Part Number Example:
Mann-Filter HU 718/1 (verify for specific engine)
