Engine Overview and Common Failures

The weight of the VG20DET engine according to the catalog is 210 kg. The engine number VG20DET is located at the junction of the block and the gearbox. Frequent power losses suggest the need for cleaning or replacing the injectors. Often, at a mileage of 150-200 thousand km, the pump starts leaking and the hydraulic lifters make noise. Periodically, it is necessary to replace the burnt-out exhaust manifold gasket. Almost always, during the removal of the exhaust, the bolts break, which is very bad. The biggest problem is the bending of the valves due to crankshaft tail breakage.
