Disadvantages of the Great Wall GW2.8TC engine
The most problematic part is the crankcase ventilation, where oil frequently gets through the dipstick;
The fast injector wear, which occasionally lasts for 100,000 kilometers, comes in second;
Additionally, many owners just turn off the EGR valve because it clogs easily here;
The engine needs to be improved for a confident start in the winter because it does not start well in cold weather;
The timing belt, oil pump, generator, and water pump are the engine’s weak points;
The valve clearance needs to be changed every 40,000 kilometers, and there are no hydraulic lifters.
