Common Weaknesses & Maintenance Notes.

Although the G4FD engine is generally reliable, owners should be aware of a few common issues to ensure long-term performance. Because it is a GDI engine, carbon buildup on intake valves can occur over time, leading to rough idling or reduced power. Regular intake cleaning or walnut blasting every 80,000–100,000 km helps prevent this. 

Some units may experience injector ticking, which is typical of GDI systems but can worsen if injectors become clogged. Additionally, maintaining correct oil levels is crucial, as the engine can develop slight oil consumption when service intervals are extended. 

Routine use of high-quality synthetic oil and timely replacement of spark plugs, filters, and PCV components will significantly extend engine life.
