Disadvantages, breakdowns and problems of the AJ33 internal combustion engine
In terms of reliability, this unit has no big problems, but fuel consumption is high
Also, there are no problematic phase regulators of the VVT type, they appeared in the AJ34 internal combustion engine
The aluminum motor is afraid of overheating, monitor the condition of the radiator and pump
Search for the cause of unstable operation of the internal combustion engine, start by uploading a fresh ECU firmware
The rest of the problems are related to sensor glitches and leaks of lubricant or antifreeze.
