Disadvantages of the Geely JLH-4G20TDJ engine
It is typically commended on specialized forums, with only a few minor issues mentioned;
First, the unit is vulnerable to carbon deposits on the intake valves because of direct injection; second, it is crucial to keep an eye on the timing belt’s condition because if it breaks, the valves will bend; and third, there are frequent oil leaks and sweating crankshaft oil seals.
