Engine Overview and Common Failures
The dry weight of the CAWB engine according to the catalog is 152 kg. The CAWB engine number is located at the junction with the gearbox. The most common complaint here is about the timing chain, which often stretches by 100,000 km. Second place goes to high lubricant consumption due to a clogged oil separator. There have been cases of piston failure due to detonation, and replacing them with forged pistons helps. Due to carbon deposits on the intake valves, the engine idle speed may become unstable. Another cause of unstable engine operation is a stuck throttle valve in the intake. Ignition coils have a low lifespan, especially if spark plugs are rarely changed.
