The weight of the RFN engine according to the catalog is 180 kg. The RFN engine number is located at the junction of the block and the gearbox. The main problem lies in the low durability of the timing belt, and its breakage is fatal for the engine. This diesel engine does not like low temperatures, and in severe frost, the car does not start at all. Many have also encountered premature wear of the rings in the fourth cylinder. Oil leaks can also occur, especially at the junction between the upper and lower parts of the cylinder block. The only advantage of this engine is that it is not very demanding on the quality of diesel fuel.
