The weight of the 5L engine according to the catalog is 240 kg. The engine number 5L is located at the junction of the block and the head. These atmospheric diesel engines are reliable, but are known for their noisy operation and vibrations. They do not have any particular weak points, but owners often complain about leaks. After 200-300 thousand kilometers of mileage, fuel injectors often need replacement. A timing belt failure is very dangerous for the engine: it bends the valves and the camshaft can break. Since there are no hydraulic compensators here, the thermal clearances of the valves need to be adjusted.
