The weight of the VG30E engine according to the catalog is 220 kg. The VG30E engine number is located at the junction of the block and the gearbox. The main problem is valve bending due to crankshaft tail failure. Also, water pump leaks and hydraulic lifter noise are regularly encountered here. It is important not to forget to service the timing belt drive every 70,000 kilometers. The exhaust gasket often burns out, and when removing the manifold, the bolts break. After replacing these bolts with thicker ones, the manifold often cracks.
