Engine Overview and Common Failures

The engine number BGU is located at the front, at the junction of the engine and the transmission. It is a simple and reliable engine, but it can cause some concerns at high mileage. Most often, it is criticized for oil consumption due to ring deposits, but this happens closer to 200,000 km. There are many issues with the ignition system here: contacts oxidize, the coil cracks. According to the manuals, the timing belt should be replaced every 90,000 km, and if it breaks, the valves bend. The exhaust manifold often cracks, as well as the plastic tee of the cooling system.
