Disadvantages of the TU5JP engine
A generally dependable device frequently worries about ignition system component failures;
Floating engine speed is caused by contamination of the throttle and idle control;
Overheating causes valve stem seals to turn tan, and a striking oil burn develops;
The timing belt, which requires a significant overhaul, may burst before the planned 90,000 kilometers;
Remember to change the valves’ thermal clearances roughly every 100,000 kilometers.
