Disadvantages, breakdowns and problems of the internal combustion engine N14B16
The most problematic here is the capricious direct fuel injection system.
In second place is a large consumption of lubrication and increased coking in the intake
The timing chain has a modest resource here, often it runs less than 50 km
The vacuum pump is not very reliable, as well as the Vanos phase regulator
Another weak point of the engine is the thermostat, water pump and lambda probes.
