The weight of the AR16105 engine according to the catalog is 195 kg. The engine number AR16105 is located at the junction of the block and the gearbox. The main problems of this engine are related to the suction through cracked pipes. In addition to fluctuating revolutions, this leads to air entrainment in the system and overheating. The engine also often overheats due to failures of the thermostat or water pump. Due to fake oil or infrequent replacement, bearing rotation often occurs. Change the timing belt every 60,000 km as valve bending can occur in case of breakage.
