Hello Brahim,

Like every engine, it is reliable if maintained and repaired properly.
The things which are specific to the KV6 are:
  • Coolant leaks in the 'V' (common)
  • Oil cooler failure (uncommon)
  • VIS actuator and flap problems (common)
  • Blocked crankcase breather in cam covers (common)
  • Whether the tensioner and idler pulleys were renewed with the timing belts

Try this for starters:
