Engine Overview and Common Failures
The dry weight of the G6EA engine is 154 kg, with attachments 185 kg. The G6EA engine number is located at the junction of the engine and the gearbox. The Mu series engines are equipped with phase regulators, which often require attention. Usually, the malfunction is expressed in loud motor work or the ECU throwing errors. Sometimes it is possible to get by with cleaning or replacing electromagnetic valves, but not always. Like their predecessors, Mu engines have an intake manifold with swirl flaps, the bolts of which can come loose and fall directly into the combustion chamber of the power unit. Usually, this ends with a major repair or the search for a used engine. A significant part of the complaints on forums is related to oil consumption, which increases with mileage. Oil consumption appears around 150,000 km and initially amounts to approximately 0.5 liters per 1000 km. The main culprits are stuck oil control caps and worn rings. Other weaknesses of the engine include attachments, ignition coils, and sensors. Do not forget about the need for periodic adjustment of valve clearances and the fact that every two timing belt replacements, the chains between the camshafts need to be updated.
