Engine Overview and Common Failures

The weight of the AR32301 engine according to the catalog is 170 kg. The engine number AR32301 is located at the junction of the block and the gearbox. The main problem of the engine is the wear of the cylinder walls and subsequent oil consumption. Also, the cam lobes wear out due to the sticking of the hydraulic compensators. Sensors often fail in the engine, especially the EGR valve and crankshaft position sensor. The balance belt doesn't last long, and if it breaks, it can get caught in the timing belt. Weak points here include the phase regulator, oil pump, and VLIM system in the intake.
