Engine Overview and Common Failures

The weight of the LYX engine according to the catalog is 115 kg. The LYX engine number is located at the front, at the junction with the gearbox. It is a reliable turbocharged engine, but it requires high-quality fuel and lubrication. Attempts to save often lead to detonation and a cracked piston partition. On forums, you can find many complaints about the inadequate operation of the start-stop system. Like all direct injection engines, the intake valves here tend to get clogged with carbon deposits. One of the reasons for many problems is the disconnected hose from the throttle assembly. Engines in this series may lose power in freezing temperatures due to intercooler icing.
