Engine Overview and Common Failures

The AVU engine number is located at the front, at the junction of the engine and the gearbox. This reliable and durable engine rarely causes any issues, only on long distances. The most well-known problem is excessive oil consumption, but piston rings usually wear out after 200,000 km. Unstable operation is often caused by a clogged fuel pump or a cracked ignition coil. Replace the timing belt every 90,000 km, as a valve failure can always be problematic. Additionally, the exhaust manifold in the area of cylinders 3-4 often cracks for engines of this series.
