✓ The faults of this engine were checked against sources (10/2026). Each item has at least two independent sources or an official recall or parts-maker technical note.
Faults that belong to the engine itself. They apply to every model with this engine, and each model has its own extra faults on its model page.
Signs: Sudden misfire and engine light, loss of compression on one cylinder, often after hard acceleration at low rpm
Fix: Use only full-synthetic oil with GM dexos1 (Gen 2 or newer) approval and avoid lugging at low rpm; a damaged piston means a compression test and engine repair
Signs: Metallic rattle for a few seconds on cold start; later engine light with cam/crank correlation codes P0016 / P0017
Fix: Check cam phase deviation in live data; if out of limits, replace the chain, guides and tensioner; keep oil changes short
Signs: Loss of power, engine light with boost codes P0299 or P0234
Fix: Compare target and actual boost and check actuator travel before replacing the turbo; often the actuator or a stiff flap is the cause
Signs: Engine warms up slowly, weak heating, higher fuel use, code P0128
Fix: Replace the thermostat housing and top up or bleed the coolant
