Engine Overview and Common Failures

The weight of the 406PN engine according to the catalog is 220 kg. The engine number 406PN is located on the left wall of the block. The reliability of this engine is quite good, but you won't be pleased with the fuel consumption. The selection of spare parts is limited, as this unit was only offered in the USA and Australia. The main problem here is the unusual and not very reliable timing chain system. On high mileage, both cylinder heads often require repair with valve replacement. Additionally, the EGR pipe frequently cracks and the rear crankshaft seal leaks.
