The weight of the S6D engine according to the catalog is 140.7 kg. The engine number S6D is located at the junction of the block and the gearbox. The unit is reliable in design and most often its quality of components lets it down. The timing belt can break before reaching 50,000 km mileage, and if a valve breaks, it bends. Cheap lubricant often causes the oil pump valve to jam and the hydraulic compensators to rattle. After 200,000 km, oil consumption usually starts due to wear of the rings or caps. The ignition system causes a lot of trouble, with spark plugs, coils, and wiring lasting a short time.
