The weight of the G6DF engine is 212 kg (with attachments). The engine number G6DF is located at the junction of the engine and the gearbox. The main complaints on forums are related to high fuel or oil consumption. The main cause of excessive oil consumption is rapid clogging of the oil control rings. It is an aluminum unit and is susceptible to overheating, so please keep an eye on the cooling system. In the early years, there were many complaints about the timing belt resource, especially the hydraulic tensioner. There are no hydraulic compensators here, and valve clearances need to be periodically adjusted.
