The weight of the B5-ME engine according to the catalog is 123.1 kg. The engine number B5-ME is located at the junction of the block and the gearbox. Judging by the activity on the forum, the ignition system seems to be causing the most problems. On versions with hydraulic compensators, they can easily be damaged by cheap oil. Another weak point of the engine is the reduction valve of the oil pump. The timing belt is recommended to be changed every 60,000 km, but it does not cause valve damage. Closer to 200,000 km, the oil scraper rings may wear out and lubricant consumption may increase.
