Engine Overview and Common Failures
The weight of the ARE engine according to the catalog is 210 kg. The engine number of the ARE is located in the cylinder block, Above all, this is a very heat-loaded motor, so keep an eye on cooling. Unfortunately, the water pump and thermostat of this unit are not known for their reliability. Owners often have trouble finding oil leaks and air suction points. The turbines have a relatively modest lifespan, often lasting less than 100,000 km. It is better to replace the timing belt every 60,000 km, as its failure can cause valve bending. Don't forget to replace the chains every two belt replacements, as their skipping is also dangerous. Other weak points of the engine include the heat exchanger, viscous coupling, and ignition coils.
