The weight of the RD28ETi engine according to the catalog is 255 kg. The engine number is located at the junction of the block and the head. The most common engine failure is a cracked block head due to overheating. Fuel system problems are the second most popular issue. Floating RPMs and loss of power are also frequently caused by faulty sensors and wiring. After reaching mileage of over 100,000 km, the hydraulic lifters in the engine can start making noise. Make sure to follow the timing belt replacement schedule, as a valve failure always causes damage. The glow plug control unit is poorly positioned and often burns out. Leaks from the crankshaft seal and the oil cooler gasket are also commonly encountered.
