Hyundai G4ND engine

Specifications of the 2.0-liter gasoline engine G4ND or Hyundai-Kia 2.0 CVVL, reliability, resource, reviews, problems and fuel consumption.

Hyundai's 2.0-liter G4ND engine added to the Nu powertrain family in 2011 and has gained ground in our market with the third and fourth generation Optima. The highlight of the motor is the CVVL valve lift system.

The Nu series also includes internal combustion engines: G4NA, G4NB, G4NC, G4NE, G4NH, G4NG and G4NL.

Description devices motor G4ND 2.0 liters

In 2011, a 2.0-liter unit appeared as part of the Nu line, equipped with a CVVL system that continuously changes the valve stroke depending on the engine speed. Otherwise, this is a conventional engine with distributed fuel injection, an aluminum block and cast-iron liners, an aluminum 16-valve cylinder head with hydraulic lifters, a timing chain, a phase control system on two shafts, and an intake manifold with variable geometry VIS.

Engine number G4ND is located in front at the junction with the box

Hyundai engineers are not resting on their laurels and are constantly improving their powertrains: in 2014, small plastic separators appeared in the engine cooling jacket to slightly increase the movement of antifreeze in the top and most stressed part of the cylinders, and in 2017 they finally added the long-awaited piston cooling oil jets and problems with bullies, if not completely disappeared, then began to occur here much less frequently.

Disadvantages, breakdowns and problems of the G4ND engine

Bully

The main complaints of the owners of these engines are caused by the appearance of scuffing in the cylinders, which are formed due to the ingress of catalyst crumbs straight into the combustion chamber. In 2017, piston oil cooling nozzles appeared and the problem disappeared.

Maslozhor

Maslozhor manifests itself not only because of scuffing, but also after the occurrence of piston rings, which are very narrow here and quickly coke. But most often the reason is in the design of the internal combustion engine: with an open cooling jacket, thin cast-iron sleeves can easily go elliptical.

Valve train chain

With not very active operation of the machine without sudden acceleration and frequent slipping, the timing chain has a decent resource and can easily go 200 - 300 thousand km without replacement. However, for too hot owners, it often stretches to 150 km.

CVVL system

It cannot be said that the CVVL valve lift system is not very reliable, but it is often ruined by aluminum chips, which appear as a result of scoring and spread through the lubrication system.

Other disadvantages

The network often complains about oil and coolant leaks due to weak gaskets, and the water pump and attachments also have a low resource. On the units of the first years of production, there were weak liners and there were cases of their cranking.

The manufacturer claims an engine resource of 200 km, but usually it runs up to 000 km.
