The weight of the LF479Q3 engine according to the catalog is 125 kg. The LF479Q3 engine number is located at the junction of the block and the transmission. It is a very reliable motor in terms of construction, but its quality of components can be lacking. The main breakdowns are associated with weak wiring, sensors, or pipe leaks. The timing belt replacement is done every 60,000 km, and in case of valve failure, it does not bend here. With mileage over 100,000 km, lubricant consumption due to ring deposits is often encountered. Many people ignore the adjustment of the valve clearance, and they simply burn out.
