The dry weight of the G4HE engine according to the catalog is 83.9 kg. The engine number G4HE is located on the right at the junction with the gearbox. Until 2009, defective crankshafts were installed, and dealers often replaced them under warranty. Simply put, the crankshaft key was sheared off, the gear shifted, and the timing phases were disrupted. It is also necessary to monitor the cleanliness of the radiator, as overheating immediately affects the cylinder head. The cause of fluctuating RPM is usually due to contamination of the throttle body or the RXX. Weak points of the engine include very low spark plug lifespan and unreliable wiring.
