The weight of the VG20E engine according to the catalog is 200 kg. The engine number VG20E is located at the junction of the block and the gearbox. The service life of this engine, with proper maintenance, ranges from 300 to 500 thousand kilometers. Most often, it is necessary to replace the burnt-out gasket of the exhaust manifold here. When removing the exhaust, the studs often break off and thicker ones need to be installed. To ensure smooth operation of the power unit, it is periodically necessary to clean the injectors. The main problem is considered to be the breaking of the crankshaft tail and the bending of the valves.
