The weight of the VAZ 2123 engine according to the catalog is 127 kg. The VAZ 2123 engine number can be found in two places. The most well-known problem with this engine is the unreliable chain tensioner, and its failure often leads to chain skipping and valve-to-piston contact. Engine overheating is the second most common issue, caused by a malfunctioning thermostat or water pump, as well as regular coolant leaks due to cracked hoses or expansion tank. Oil consumption also becomes a problem after reaching 100,000 km, usually due to worn oil control rings, piston rings, or a clogged PCV system. Other problems include the not-so-durable auxiliary equipment, ignition module, frequent leaks from the valve cover and rear crankshaft seal. Additionally, until 2008, this engine was equipped with unreliable hydraulic lifters.
