Engine Overview and Common Failures

The weight of the LLV engine assembly is 171 kg. The LLV engine number is located at the junction of the block and the gearbox. It is a reliable and durable power unit without any significant weak points. The most important thing is to regularly check the condition of the water pump and fan viscous coupling. These components have a limited lifespan, and engines with aluminum blocks are intolerant to overheating. After 200,000 km of mileage, valve seat wear and timing chain elongation may occur. In 2009 and 2010 pickups, cracked exhaust manifolds were replaced under warranty.
