Most common problems, symptoms & fixes for the AEW engine.

Engine AEW is known for issues like oil leaks, especially from valve cover gaskets and camshaft seals, and occasional misfires due to ignition coil failures. Diagnosis involves checking for oil spots under the car and scanning for misfire codes. Preventive maintenance includes regular oil changes with high-quality synthetic oil and timely replacement of ignition components. Cooling system checks are crucial to avoid overheating, which can cause head gasket problems. Solutions involve gasket replacements for leaks, coil pack swaps for misfires, and thorough cooling system flushes. Keeping the timing chain tensioner in good condition also prevents timing issues common in this engine.
