Turbocharger wear may also happen over time due to carbon buildup or inadequate oil changes. Some users have reported head gasket issues or cracked cylinder heads, typically linked to overheating or insufficient coolant maintenance. Regular inspections of the timing belt, water pump, and oil system are essential to prevent costly repairs.
