The weight of the MR18DE engine according to the catalog is 116 kg. The engine number MR18DE is located at the junction of the block and the gearbox. Due to thin walls, there have been cases of cylinder head cracking when tightening bolts or spark plugs. After 150,000 km, there is a high risk of timing chain stretching, so it is important not to miss the moment. Drivers are often concerned about the quick throttle contamination and generator belt squeaking. Don't forget about the periodic clearance adjustment, as there are no hydraulic compensators. However, the main problem of the engine is oil consumption due to ring sticking.
