Engine Overview and Common Failures

The weight of the G6DN engine is 218 kg (including attachments). The engine number G6DN is located at the junction of the engine and the gearbox. This unit has been around for so long that there is enough data on malfunctions. Currently, the main problems are related to carbon deposits formation on the intake valves. It is a quite hot engine, so make sure to monitor the condition of the cooling system. Let's see how long the timing chains will last, the predecessor had a modest lifespan. Don't forget about adjusting the valve clearances, as it does not have hydraulic compensators.
