Disadvantages of the B4184S11 engine
The primary issues are floating revolutions, which are challenging to eliminate.
Usually, the intake swirl flaps or electronic throttle are to blame.
Additionally, because oil scraper rings are common here, lubricant consumption is frequently observed.
The fuel pump or fuel pressure regulator frequently malfunctions when using low-quality gasoline.
The timing chain and phase shifter may need to be replaced closer to 200,000 kilometers.
