Problems and faults: MG ZS
- The timing belts should be changed every six years or 140,000 kilometres (whichever comes first).
- In freezing temperatures, the throttle may stick due to moisture and dirt freezing within the engine bay. This can be prevented by spraying the throttle cable and throttle motor mechanism with WD40 and applying petroleum jelly to the cable and motor. When dry, these areas can then be coated.
- The thermostat housing may crack or the thermostat itself may fail (or the thermostat may fall out of the engine).
- A rattling noise from the engine bay and sluggish performance may be due to a failed inlet manifold. If so, the manifold will require replacement.
