Disadvantages of the HYDA engine
The most frequent issue in this situation is the crankcase ventilation system, or more specifically, the PCV valve; a dirty valve causes the engine to howl and oil to press through the camshaft seals; frequent grease buildup on the belt reduces its capacity to 60–80 thousand kilometers; poor fuel rapidly deteriorates the fuel pump, candles, and coils;
Everybody’s turbine operates differently, and many alter it after 100–150 thousand kilometers.
