The weight of the AR32201 engine according to the catalog is 160 kg. The AR32201 engine number is located at the junction of the block and the gearbox. This unit requires specific oil, otherwise its oil pump will not last long. Due to the decrease in the performance of the oil pump, the hydraulic compensators have a reduced lifespan. Additionally, due to the sticking of the hydraulic compensators, the cam lobes wear out quickly. On high mileage, oil consumption often occurs due to worn piston rings. The weak points of the engine include the electronic throttle, phase regulator, and VKG valve.
