Engine Overview and Common Failures

The weight of the AR32104 engine according to the catalog is 150 kg. The AR32104 engine number is located at the junction of the block and the gearbox. Due to incorrect lubricant selection, the oil pump quickly fails in this area. The decrease in oil pump performance reduces the lifespan of the hydraulic compensators. Then, due to the sticking of the hydraulic compensators, the cam lobes wear out. High mileage often results in excessive oil consumption due to worn-out piston rings. The weak points here include the phase regulator, electronic throttle, and EGR valve.
