Engine Overview and Common Failures

The weight of the W10B16A engine assembly is 125 kg. The engine number W10B16A can be found on the cylinder block. In the early years of production, power units often suffered from poor assembly. Cracks in the cylinder head and roller rocker destruction are also common here. Frequent malfunctions of the electronic throttle body cause a lot of problems. Closer to 150-200,000 km mileage, the timing chain usually stretches and requires replacement. Weak spots of the engine include the fuel pump, power steering, and expansion tank.
