Engine Overview and Common Failures

The weight of the M137 engine according to the catalog is 220 kg. The engine number M137 is located at the junction of the block and the gearbox. Often, people complain about regular oil leaks due to gasket failure. Additionally, the coil blocks with 24 spark plugs are very unreliable and expensive. Oil from the oil pressure sensor can also seep into the control unit through the wires. The powerful-looking double-row timing chain can stretch up to 200,000 km of mileage. Weak points of this engine include airflow meters, the generator, and the throttle assembly.
