The engine weight of VG30DE according to the catalog is 230 kg. The engine number VG30DE is located at the junction of the block and the gearbox. The most common problem is frequent cracking of the exhaust manifold. In addition, the exhaust gasket constantly burns out and the bolts securing it break. Valve bending in the engine due to crankshaft tail breakage is also often encountered. The same thing will happen if the owner misses the timing belt replacement schedule. After 100,000 km mileage, the water pump and upper radiator cover are often replaced here.
