Disadvantages of the Hyundai G4HG engine
The crankshaft, which was installed until 2009, is a known engine issue;
The timing phases stopped, the gear shifted, and the key was simply cut off;
The engine overheats rapidly and the cylinder head leads, so keep the radiators clean;
Because of throttle and idle speed controller contamination, the engine speed frequently floats at idle;
Unreliable wiring and a limited supply of candles are further drawbacks.
