The weight of the CG10DE engine according to the catalog is 90 kg. The engine number CG10DE is located at the junction of the block and the gearbox. The most well-known problem with this engine is that the timing chains stretch and make noise. In second place in terms of popularity are fluctuating RPMs due to throttle contamination. The unreliable thermostat, which can suddenly start acting up, takes third place. It is also worth noting that the gaskets and seals quickly deteriorate, which can lead to leaks. The engine often misfires due to moisture easily seeping into the spark plug wells.
