If any noises and knocks appear in a running engine, you should find out the cause of their occurrence and do not operate the engine until the malfunction is eliminated
In a cold engine, after starting, knocking of valve lifters and hydraulic tensioners may occur.
As the engine warms up to operating temperature, but no more than after 30 minutes, knocking should disappear.
Do not overheat the engine. If the coolant overheating indicator lights up, immediately stop the engine, identify and eliminate the cause of overheating.
The engine must not be operated with the emergency oil pressure warning light on. This will lead to scuffing of the bearings of the crankshaft, camshaft and failure of the gas distribution mechanism.
The warning light may come on when the engine is running at minimum speed in idling mode and during heavy braking.
The engine must not be operated with the diagnostic lamp on. The constant burning of the lamp indicates the presence of malfunctions in the engine control system.
It is necessary to diagnose the system and fix the problem as soon as possible.
