Disadvantages of the XQDA engine
Here, the direct fuel injection system is incredibly dependable and rarely causes issues;
Oil consumption typically manifests after 100–150 thousand kilometers as a result of stuck rings;
The timing chain is frequently pulled out and needs to be replaced closer to 200,000 kilometers;
The cylinder head frequently cracks during extended runs, causing oil to seep into the antifreeze. It’s also important to note the limited selection and expensive cost of spare parts for this engine.
