The weight of the 5M-EU engine according to the catalog is 170 kg. The engine number 5M-EU is located to the right of the oil filter. A known problem with power units of this series is a blown head gasket. Owners often tighten the bolts in the cylinder head, trying to eliminate oil leaks. The cause of fluctuating RPMs here is usually throttle or ECU contamination. The remaining engine breakdowns are mostly related to the temperamental ignition system. Since there are no hydraulic compensators here, the valves require periodic adjustment.
