Engine Overview and Common Failures

The weight of the VG30i engine according to the catalog is 220 kg. The engine number VG30i is located at the junction of the block and the gearbox. The main breakdown is the breaking off of the crankshaft tailstock and the bending of the valves. In second place are leaks from the pump or failure of the hydraulic compensators. The regular burning of the exhaust manifold gasket causes a lot of inconvenience. During the removal of the exhaust, the attachment bolts often break off, and this is a problem. Apart from that, this engine is very reliable and has a huge resource.
