Engine Overview and Common Failures

The weight of the L32 engine according to the catalog is 198 kg. The engine number L32 is located at the junction of the block with the gearbox. The main problem of its predecessors, which was frequent coolant leaks, has been fixed. Instead of a weak plastic intake manifold, a strong aluminum one has been installed. However, the plastic coolant pipes still regularly burst. It is important to keep the cooling system clean as this engine is prone to overheating. The spark plugs, ignition coils, fuel injectors, and EGR valve also have a relatively short lifespan.
