Engine Overview and Common Failures

The weight of the B20B engine according to the catalog is 150 kg. The engine number B20B is located at the junction of the block and the gearbox. This power unit is very reliable, rarely breaks down and only at high mileage. Owners most often encounter oil leaks through the camshaft seals. Breakdowns occur in the cooling system, with the weak points being the water pump and thermostat. After 150-200 thousand km mileage, there is an increased risk of sudden cylinder head gasket failure. Valve adjustment is required every 40,000 km as there are no hydraulic lifters.
