Disadvantages of the Geely JLH-4G20TDB engine
Here, intake valves are covered in soot because of the direct injection system;
Bad fuel cannot be tolerated by the engine; the candles deteriorate right away, followed by the catalyst;
Check the timing belt’s condition on a regular basis because the valves bend when it breaks;
Strange noises under the hood are typically the subject of the remaining complaints.
