Engine Overview and Common Failures

The weight of the 3E-TE engine according to the catalog is 120 kg. The engine number 3E-TE is located at the junction of the block and the cylinder head. This is a quite rare engine and you will have problems with servicing and spare parts. This unit regularly overheats and most often causes a blown head gasket. As a result, the oil control rings quickly become clogged and oil consumption increases. The cause of excessive oil consumption may be in the piston rings, which wear out around 100,000 km. Additionally, the ignition system often malfunctions here and requires valve clearance adjustment.
