The 1.6-liter Hyundai G4FC engine has been assembled at the concern's plant in China since 2006 and is installed on many of the company's mid-size models, such as the Ceed, i20, i30 and Soul. In our market, this internal combustion engine has become widespread thanks to the popular Solaris and Rio sedans.
Gamma Family: G4FA, G4FD, G4FG, G4FJ, G4FL, G4FM, G4FP and G4FT.

Description devices motor G4FC 1.6 liters
In 2006, the 1.4 and 1.6 liter Gamma units replaced the Alpha series engines. Structurally, both motors are identical: an aluminum block with an open cooling jacket, an aluminum 16-valve DOHC block head without hydraulic lifters, a timing chain drive, an inlet dephaser, a plastic intake manifold without a geometry change system. Like predecessors, the first engines of the series were equipped with distributed fuel injection.
Engine number G4FC is located in front at the junction with the box
Since 2009, the Gamma family of engines began the transition to stricter Euro 5 economy standards and a huge ram's horn exhaust manifold gave way to a small collector. After that, problems began with scuffing due to the ingress of catalyst crumbs into the cylinders.
Fuel consumption G4FC
Using the example of a 2015 Hyundai Solaris with a manual transmission:
| City | 8.1 liters |
| Track | 4.9 liters |
| Mixed | 6.1 liters |

Disadvantages, breakdowns and problems of the G4FC engine
The motors of the first years of production were equipped with a large “ram's horn” exhaust manifold, but with the transition to Euro 5 economy standards, it gave way to a modern collector. Since then, the problem with scuffing in the cylinders due to catalyst crumbs has become relevant.
The cylinder block here is made of aluminum with an open cooling jacket and thin sleeves, the rigidity of which is low. And during active use or regular overheating, the cylinders often go in an ellipse, after which a progressive lubricant consumption appears.
With a quiet ride, the timing chain serves a lot and usually it changes closer to 200 km. But if the driver constantly turns the engine to high speeds, then the resource drops by half. Also, due to contamination of the lubricant, the hydraulic tensioner often fails and jams.
Briefly about minor problems: the alternator belt often whistles due to a weak tensioner, the engine mounts do not last long, oil leaks from under the valve cover and floating speed are often due to contaminated fuel injectors or a throttle assembly.
The manufacturer declared an engine resource of 180 km, but usually it lasts up to 000 km.
