Engine Overview and Common Failures

The weight of the L15B engine according to the catalog is 100 kg. The engine number L15B is located at the junction of the block with the gearbox. These engines are still not widely produced and typical malfunctions have not yet been identified. However, previous units in this series are quite reliable and have no weak points. The tight under-hood layout in some models makes engine service difficult. Owners often complain on the forum about the limited lifespan of ignition coils. Hydraulic compensators are not provided, and clearances need to be adjusted every 50,000 km.
