The dry weight of the G4ER engine is 114.3 kg. The G4ER engine number is located in the front, at the junction of the block and the cylinder head. Overall, the unit is reliable, but it is often affected by assembly quality and some components. Some common complaints include fluctuating RPM due to throttle or EGR valve contamination. The timing belt is replaced every 60,000 km, while the chain between the camshafts is replaced every 120,000 km. After reaching 100,000 km, the hydraulic lifters wear out and start to make loud noises. Around 200,000 km, the oil seals harden and an oil consumption issue may arise.
