Engine Overview and Common Failures

The weight of the J35A engine according to the catalog is 205 kg. The engine number J35A is located at the junction of the block and the gearbox. Engine versions equipped with VCM are known for oil leaks from gasket system. Rapid decrease in lubrication level leads to camshaft lobes wear. Idle speed of the engine fluctuates due to throttle or injector contamination. Keep an eye on the condition of the timing belt, it lasts for 90,000 km and can cause valve damage if it breaks. Unadjusted valves are often the cause of unstable engine performance.
