Engine Overview and Common Failures

The weight of the LEA engine according to the catalog is 145 kg. The LEA engine number is located on the oil filter housing. Most complaints about this unit are related to oil consumption due to ring sticking. In 2014, it received an updated piston and the problem became less frequent. Another cause of excessive oil consumption may be a clogged crankcase ventilation system. The timing chain does not have a high lifespan and often requires replacement at 150,000 km. Like all direct injection engines, the intake valves in this engine are prone to carbon buildup.
