Engine Overview and Common Failures

The weight of the VG30DET engine according to the catalog is 235 kg. The engine number VG30DET is located at the junction of the block and the gearbox. The problematic area of the engine is considered to be the exhaust manifold, as it tends to crack. It is also common for the gasket to burn out in the exhaust and for the fastening bolts to break when removing them. The frequent breaking of the crankshaft tail end can lead to valve bending. The same result can occur due to a timing belt failure, which has a lifespan of approximately 70,000 km. Regular servicing is required for the replacement of the water pump and upper radiator cover.
