Engine Overview and Common Failures
The weight of the 1G-GEU engine according to the catalog is 190 kg. The engine number 1G-GEU is located at the junction of the block and the gearbox. This is a very reliable engine and with proper maintenance, it runs for a long time without problems. The disadvantage is the lubrication consumption, but it only appears at high mileage. The cause of fluctuating RPM is the contamination of the throttle valve, the EGR, and the PCV system. The weak points of the engine include the oil pressure sensor, which often malfunctions and leaks. There are no hydraulic compensators here, the valve clearances need to be checked every 20,000 km.
