The weight of the KR15DDT engine according to the catalog is 125 kg. The engine number KR15DDT is located at the junction of the block and the gearbox. This turbocharged engine has just appeared and its failure statistics have not been collected yet. On the dedicated forum, people only complain about frequent glitches in the Start-Stop system. The intake valves quickly become clogged with carbon deposits due to direct injection. There are no hydraulic lash adjusters and valve clearances need to be adjusted every 100,000 km. And the main problem of the engine is where to fix the variable compression ratio system.
