Troubleshooting

Probable Cause	Remedy
*Stookey of the crankshaft and the bearing*
Worn main bearings Conjuring bearing Bent crankshaft Excessive axial clearance of the crankshaft	Replace Replace Replace Replace the ball bearings
*Stookey piston and connecting rod*
Worn bearings Conjuring bearing Worn piston pin Wear of the piston in the cylinder Broken piston ring	Replace Replace Replace the piston, piston pin and connecting rod Restore cylinders Replace
*Noisy valves*
Faulty valve clearance compensators Liquid Engine Oil Worn or damaged valve stem or the valve guide sleeve	Replace the valve clearance compensators Change the engine oil Replace the valve or valve guides
*Excessive wear of pistons and cylinders*
Low engine oil level Contaminated engine oil Poor quality of engine oil Improperly assembled piston and connecting rod Increased clearance in the lock of a piston ring Dirty air filter	Check the engine oil level Check the condition of the oil Change the engine oil Repair or replace Replace Clean or replace the air filter
*Stookey connecting rod or crankshaft bearing*
Insufficient oil supply Liquid Engine Oil Excessive bearing play	Check the engine oil level Change the engine oil Replace bearing shells
*Damage to the crankshaft bearing*
Low oil pressure Poor quality of engine oil Worn or oval crankshaft journals Dirty oil lines on the crankshaft Worn bearings Improperly installed bearings Violation of the concentricity of the crankshaft bearings or	Check the engine oil level Change the engine oil Check and repair the crankshaft Clear Channels Replace the bearings and check the lubrication system Repair or replace the bearings Replace
*The noise emitted by a toothed belt*
Incorrect toothed belt tension	Adjust the tension of the toothed belt
*Low compression in engine cylinders*
Breaking through the cylinder head gasket Worn or damaged piston rings Worn the piston or cylinder Worn or damaged valve seat	Replace the gasket Replace the rings Repair or replace the piston and / or cylinder block Repair or replace the valve seat and / or valve
*Low oil pressure*
Low engine oil level Faulty oil pressure switch Dirty oil filter Worn gear oil pump or cover Liquid Engine Oil Open the safety valve Increased bearing clearances	Check the engine oil level Replace the oil pressure sensor Replace the oil filter Replace the oil pump or cover Change the engine oil Repair safety valve Replace bearing shells
*High pressure oil*
Closed relief valve	Repair safety valve
*Vibration Motor*
Do not tighten the engine support (front and back) Do not tighten the bracket gearbox Do not tighten the sub-frame bracket Not tightened central support Damaged gearbox support Damaged support sub-frame Damaged shaft bearings	Torque tighten the engine mount Torque tighten the bracket gearbox Torque tighten the sub-frame bracket Torque tighten the central support Replace gearbox support Replace the sub-frame support Replace the shaft bearing
*Low coolant level*
Coolant leak Damage to the core of the radiator Rusted or cracked hoses (radiator hose, heater hose, etc.) Faulty valve radiator cap or setting spring Faulty thermostat Faulty water pump	Replace Replace Replace Replace Replace Replace
*Pollution radiator tubes*
Foreign matter in the coolant	Replace coolant
*High coolant temperature*
Faulty thermostat Defective radiator cap Clogged pipes or hoses of the cooling system Loose or torn drive belt Faulty water pump Faulty coolant temperature sensor or its wiring Faulty electric radiator fan or the wiring Faulty sensor cooling fan or wiring Not enough coolant	Replace the thermostat Replace the radiator cap Replace or clean clogged the cooling system Adjust tension or replace the belt Replace the water pump Replace the coolant temperature sensor Replace or repair the radiator fan Replace sensor radiator fan Top up the coolant
*Low coolant temperature*
Faulty thermostat Faulty coolant temperature sensor or its wiring	Replace the thermostat Replace the coolant temperature sensor
*Cooling System Leaks*
Loose connections Damaged hoses, pipes or oil cooler	Tighten Replace or repair hose, pipe or oil cooler
*It does not work the electric radiator fan*
Damaged items	Replace or repair damaged components
*Leaking exhaust gases*
Loose connections Damaged pipe or muffler	Tighten Replace or repair pipe or muffler
*Background noise from the exhaust system*
Damaged partition in muffler Damaged rubber suspension The pipe or muffler contact with body Damaged pipe or muffler	Replace Muffler Replace the rubber suspension Adjust the position of the exhaust system Replace or repair pipe or muffler
