Engine Overview and Common Failures

The weight of the LIH engine according to the catalog is 102 kg. The LIH engine number is located at the back, at the junction with the gearbox. This turbo unit has appeared recently and its breakdown statistics are still minimal. On specialized forums, it is criticized for noise, vibrations, and glitches in the Start-Stop system. Like all direct injection engines, it suffers from carbon deposits on the intake valves. Since it has a timing belt in an oil bath, the lubricant needs to be changed as often as possible. There are also many complaints about the operation of the EVAP fuel vapor capture system.
