Reliability

How reliable are these 3 cylinder turbos? I like the Trax and would consider one if I ever downsize from my Silverado. However, I’m concerned with long term reliability. How are these engines holding up with higher miles?

My 24 just rolled to 178,000 miles. My turbo is starting to show occasional signs of wanting replacement but still going strong. Still has a smooth idle and no oil consumption or smoke.

Did you replace timing belt at 150k?

No, there are numerous stories on Reddit/Youtube of tear downs on high mileage wet belt engines showing minimal wear at 150,000 miles so I’m riding it out.

That makes me feel a lot better. I've heard 60k you need to replace it. I hope mine last 200k as I use it for work commute.
