Engine Overview and Common Failures

The weight of the M9MA engine according to the catalog is 120 kg. The M9MA engine number is located at the junction of the block and the gearbox. Engines in this range are prone to overheating, which leads to gasket failure and cylinder head damage. Failure of the cooling system's electromagnetic clutch leads to cracks in the engine block. The piston assembly suffers from detonation, also known as LSPI problem. The exhaust valves quickly become clogged with carbon deposits, and decarbonization is complex and expensive. Valve clearances need to be adjusted approximately every 100,000 km mileage.
