Disadvantages of the Great Wall 4G69S4N engine
Although the motor itself is highly dependable, the components and build quality are subpar;
A known issue in this situation is a cylinder head gasket failure, which occurs frequently;
Keep an eye on the timing belt and balancers’ condition because a break in them could kill the engine;
Additionally, because of throttle and injector contamination, idle speed frequently floats;
The engine’s flaws include hydraulic lifters, a pump, and oil seals that constantly leak.
