Engine Overview and Common Failures

The weight of the M111 engine according to the catalogue is 167 kg. The M111 engine number is located at the junction of the block and gearbox. The most common problem you will encounter is oil leaks, and their number increases with mileage. The DMRV has a modest lifespan, and when it breaks down, fuel consumption increases. Around 100,000 kilometers, the water pump almost always starts leaking in the engine. From 100,000 to 200,000 kilometers, piston skirts often wear out or the exhaust cracks. After 200-250,000 kilometers, attention is required for the oil pump or timing chain drive.
