The weight of the M41 engine according to the catalog is 170 kg. The engine number M41 is located at the junction of the block and the oil pan. This diesel engine is prone to overheating, which can cause cracks in the cylinder head. The turbocharger has a relatively short lifespan, usually experiencing oil leaks after 150,000 km. Fluctuating RPMs and difficulty starting when hot are signs that the fuel injection pump may need repair soon. The EGR valve tends to get clogged quickly, resulting in significant engine performance loss. The timing chain mechanism may require replacement before reaching 200,000 km.
