The weight of the L3-VDT engine according to the catalog is 175 kg. The engine number L3-VDT is located at the back, at the junction of the engine and gearbox. This engine does not tolerate bad fuel, as it can lead to piston group failure. The timing chain and phaser may not reach a mileage of 100,000 km. The turbine can quickly fail due to oil coking in its supply pipes. The fuel pressure sensor in the high-pressure pump often leaks, which can lead to a fire. The engine tends to consume oil, so if you neglect to check the oil level, it can damage the bearings.
