The weight of the VG30DETT engine according to the catalog is 245 kg. The VG30DETT engine number is located at the junction of the block and the gearbox. The constantly cracking exhaust causes the most problems. Its gasket often burns out, and the bolts break when removing the manifold. It is not uncommon for the crankshaft tail to break off with valve bending in the engine. The same can happen if the timing belt replacement schedule is not followed. Usually, by 150,000 km, the water pump starts to leak and the hydraulic lifters make a knocking sound.
