The dry weight of the G4EB engine according to the catalog is 106 kg. The G4EB engine number is located at the front, at the junction of the block and the cylinder head. Unstable operation. It is a simple and reliable power unit that usually only causes minor issues: idle speed fluctuates due to throttle body or injector contamination. High voltage wires often break and the ignition coil cracks. Hydraulic lifters. The engines of the Alpha family are known for not having the highest durability of hydraulic lifters. Often they fail and start making loud noises at a mileage of 80,000 - 100,000 km. On forums, blame is placed on a drop in lubrication pressure due to plunger wear of the oil pump. Timing belt failure. According to the TagAZ factory regulations, the timing belt in this engine should be replaced every 50,000 km, but there are reviews where it snapped even earlier. And always with bent valves. It is highly recommended to also replace the water pump along with the belt, as its lifespan is also short. Excessive oil consumption. At mileages over 200,000 kilometers, a small amount of oil consumption often appears, and more often it is caused by stuck oil control rings, which need to be replaced. When oil consumption exceeds one liter per 1,000 km, it means that the oil control rings are worn out. Other shortcomings. Owners also frequently complain about short-lived engine mounts, unreliable starter, frequent oil leaks, or the appearance of Check Engine due to a burned-out exhaust pipe bellows. And if the engine does not start, check the emergency fuel cut-off mechanism.
