Engine Overview and Common Failures

The weight of the N16A engine according to the catalog is 125 kg. The engine number N16A can be found on the cylinder block. This diesel engine is rarely encountered here and there is little information about its reliability. The biggest problem is finding a mechanic who is familiar with this unit. On specialized forums, there are often complaints about the temperamental nature of the piezoelectric injectors. It is highly recommended to frequently change the fuel filter in engines of this family. The diesel particulate filter quickly fails due to our diesel fuel, and replacement is very expensive.
