Engine Overview and Common Failures

The weight of the BP-ME engine according to the catalog is 140.3 kg. The engine number BP-ME is located at the junction of the block and the gearbox. This motor is renowned for its reliability and only worries on high mileage. Hydraulic compensators can rattle due to cheap oil, even before 50,000 km. Due to the throttle valve contamination, the engine speed often fluctuates at idle. The timing belt is changed according to the schedule every 60,000 km, but it does not bend in case of a valve break. After 200,000 km, the oil control rings often get stuck and there is an increase in lubricant consumption.
