The weight of the TD27 engine according to the catalog is 235 kg. The TD27 engine number is located at the junction of the block and the cylinder head. The engine has a significant lifespan, but not many people enjoy the noise and vibrations. After 250,000 km, the timing gear phases get misaligned due to wear and tear. Around the same mileage, the pump or gasket between the gears starts to leak. The motor's electrical system is very reliable, with only occasional malfunctions of the oil pressure sensor. Due to detonation caused by poor fuel, the baffles between the swirl chambers crack.
