Engine Overview and Common Failures

The weight of the LE2 engine according to the catalog is 110 kg. The LE2 engine number is located at the junction of the block and the gearbox. This engine has only recently been produced, so the statistics of breakdowns are still small. The main problem here lies in the high requirements for maintenance and fuel quality. On forums, you can already find many cases of piston destruction due to detonation. The timing chain lasts quite a long time and stretches only after 200,000 km of mileage. Like all direct injection engines, it suffers from carbon deposits on the intake valves. Engines of this series often lose power in cold weather due to intercooler icing.
