The weight of the 3VZ-E engine according to the catalog is 190 kg. The engine number for the 3VZ-E is located at the junction of the block and the head. Cracks in the cylinder heads can occur as a result of overheating due to gasket failure. Often, an unreliable fan hydraulic drive is the culprit for overheating. Rapid wear of connecting rod bearings and crankshaft main journals is also common. After 100,000 km of mileage, increasing oil consumption begins over time. Among the remaining drawbacks are high fuel consumption and expensive spare parts.
