Engine Overview and Common Failures

The weight of the ERH engine assembly is 225 kg. The engine number is located at the junction of the block and the cylinder head. The engine has high reliability and durability, but fuel consumption is quite high. From 1999 to 2001, there was a defect in the cylinder head, it cracked around the 3rd or 4th cylinder. Many have encountered cracks in the exhaust manifold due to sagging support. On high mileage, the rear crankshaft seal often leaks, and its replacement is expensive. Weak points of this engine also include the fuel pump and the electric fan relay.
