Engine Overview and Common Failures

The weight of the LF479Q2 engine according to the catalog is 127 kg. The LF479Q2 engine number is located at the junction of the block and the gearbox. Structurally, it is a reliable unit, however, its quality of components may let it down. Breakdowns here are associated with weak wiring, sensor failures, and pipe leaks. The timing belt should be changed every 60,000 km according to the regulations, but it does not bend in case of valve failure. Rings usually settle and oil consumption appears at mileages of 100-120 thousand km. Valve burning is often encountered, as many forget to adjust the thermal clearances.
