Are Ingenium Engines Reliable?

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Engine

Video tutorial

Ingenium engines, despite being around for 8 years, are still considered somewhat unreliable. The reality is that only in the first two years of commercialisation, namely 2016/2018, the engines had issues such as fuel filter clogging, premature engine oil deterioration, and the timing belt wearing out quickly.

In the following years, modifications were made that improved the engine, making it one of the best in Italy and abroad. Indeed, regarding the timing belt, changes were made to the tightening nuts, making it more robust.

The oil now lubricates the engine and the belt well due to improvements made to the system.
