The weight of the M8MA engine according to the catalog is 120 kg. The engine number M8MA is located at the junction of the engine block and the gearbox. There have been several cases of piston failure in the second cylinder due to detonation. The overheating is often caused by a breakdown of the electromechanical clutch in the pump. The injectors in the engine quickly become clogged and the intake valves carbonize. One of the most common warranty claims is the replacement of turbocharger pipes. Many owners have experienced coolant leaks due to a blown head gasket.
