Weakest links in the 228's powertrain?
Now, I get it, these most likely have been touched upon on other threads topics throughout this forum, and I have searched about as thoroughly as I can to try and find these items of note...
But for the sake of consolidation and maybe to simplify by just tapping the local NI's (natural intelligence's) to help me find where these gremlins might take place... What I've dug up so far: 1. Faulty fuel pump in 2014 models (non-issue for 2015 on) 2. Potentially faulty timing chain in 2014 models (non-issue for 2015 on) 3. Cooling fan in 2014-2015 models I bow before those with encyclopedic knowledge regarding my inquiry, hopefully a full account can be provided via this thread and any suggestions on what has been done by the members here to alleviate them. Thanks in advance. Last edited by Quicksilver_M235; 04-18-2018 at 05:51 PM.. |

I've read this post three times now without being able to identify a question.

The other one I would add, based on a few recent failures, is the cooling fan in 2014-2015 models, which can fail. It would be replaced under warranty (and, AFAIK, has been in all of the cases I know about), but after that it's something to consider.

In any case, change the oil at 5000 miles. Old oil seems to cause the problem of stretched timing chains. Ford has the same problem with their V6 and V8 ohc engines. Last edited by Tpeterson; 04-19-2018 at 06:40 PM.. |
