The weight of engine T8D according to the catalog is 143.7 kg. The engine number T8D is located at the junction of the block and the gearbox. It is a reliable unit, but only if you don't skimp on the quality of maintenance. Cheap oil significantly reduces the lifespan of hydraulic compensators, up to 50,000 km. Also, poor lubrication can cause the oil pump's reduction valve to seize. After 200,000 km, oil consumption often occurs due to wear of the rings or valve stem seals. Engine mounts, cylinder head gasket, and throttle constantly get clogged.
