Engine Overview and Common Failures

The weight of the C32B engine assembly is 198 kg. The engine number C32B is located at the junction of the block and the gearbox. Most complaints on the specialized forum are somehow related to oil consumption. It is necessary to carefully monitor the lubricant level, as any decrease in it is dangerous. If you still miss the oil level, you will have to replace the pushrods and camshaft. It is also important to renew the timing belt every 90,000 miles, as its breakage can bend the valves. The weak points of the engine include not very durable catalytic converter and ignition coils.
