The weight of the CR12DE engine according to the catalog is 120 kg. The engine number of the CR12DE is located at the junction of the block and the gearbox. In the early years, there were problems with the stretching of the timing chain, but then its lifespan increased. There have also been many cases of cylinder head gasket failure in the initial stages. This engine does not tolerate poor fuel quality and requires periodic injector cleaning. There are many complaints online about difficulties in operating the car at low temperatures. However, the main drawback is increasing oil consumption after 150,000 km.
