The weight of the D4BF engine according to the catalog is 204.8 kg. The engine number D4BF is located at the joint with the cylinder head. Most versions of these diesel engines were equipped with a Zexel VE4 distributor-type fuel injection pump, which is a clone of the reliable Bosch VE fuel pump. However, at high mileage, problems with hot starting often occur due to simple mechanical wear. Owners also often face the need to replace injector nozzles. Low belt lifespan: According to the official schedule, the timing belt should be replaced every 90,000 kilometers, but it often breaks much earlier, especially if not tightened every 30,000 km. The balance shaft belt can also break and usually interferes with the timing belt, causing it to break as well. It is fortunate that only the rocker arm is damaged when it breaks. Cracks in the cylinder head: This diesel engine is extremely intolerant to overheating, and it immediately blows the cylinder head gasket. In addition to replacing the gasket, it is necessary to grind the mating surfaces. On high mileage engines, cracks around the pre-chambers or valves are often found, and they are usually difficult to weld. And such a cylinder head is very expensive to replace. Other drawbacks: Weak points of this diesel power unit also include the vacuum pump, the crankshaft, which often breaks during prolonged low-speed driving, and the keyway of the crankshaft, which is simply cut off and causes the drive for auxiliary equipment to fail. There are also unreliable gaskets and seals, so oil constantly leaks from various places. And don't forget to check the valve clearance every 20,000 km, or they will simply burn out.
