Engine Overview and Common Failures

The weight of the 3G83 engine is 88 kg (without attachments). The engine number 3G83 can be found at the joint between the block and the gearbox. The most well-known problem with this engine is excessive oil consumption due to ring sticking. The crankshaft bearings can rotate even from a short drive with low oil level. Pay attention to the cleanliness of the cooling system, as overheating can immediately damage the gasket. Regularly check the condition of the timing belt, as its failure can cause valve bending. Additionally, the fuel system of the engine and its catalytic converter cannot tolerate poor-quality gasoline.
