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: Knocking from low in the engine, or sudden engine failure without warning
Fix: There is no sure prevention; frequent oil changes help. The repair is a rebuilt or replacement engine
Signs: No warning — if the belt snaps, the engine stops
Fix: Replace it together with the timing belt, tensioners and water pump
Signs: Limp mode, power loss
Fix: Clean or replace
Signs: Loss of power, whistle, smoke
