Engine Overview and Common Failures

The weight of the 3L engine according to the catalog is 230 kg. The engine number 3L is located at the junction of the block and the cylinder head. Diesel engines of this series are very reliable, but noisy and subject to vibration. The engine does not have any weak points, except for possible leaks, as mentioned on the forum. Fuel injectors may often need to be replaced at mileage of 200-300 thousand km. If the timing belt breaks, not only the valves will bend, but also the camshaft will break. Hydraulic compensators are not provided and valve clearances need to be adjusted.
