Engine Overview and Common Failures

The engine weight of the LCV according to the catalog is 150 kg. The engine number of the LCV is located at the junction of the block with the gearbox. This engine is considered very reliable, and on forums, it is mostly praised. All complaints are related to rough idle or gurgling sounds during startup. Like all direct injection units, its intake valves tend to clog with carbon deposits. Additionally, there are occasional significant oil leaks through the oil pressure sensor. This engine is quite rare, so there may be difficulties with service and spare parts.
