The weight of the B6-ME engine according to the catalog is 138.3 kg. The engine number B6-ME is located at the junction of the block and the gearbox. Structurally simple and reliable, the engine only becomes a concern after high mileage. According to forum topics, the ignition system is the most common issue in this engine. Idle speed fluctuations are often caused by throttle contamination. The timing belt has a lifespan of approximately 60,000 km, but if it breaks, the valves usually do not bend. After 150-200 thousand km, hydraulic lifters often start knocking and oil consumption increases.
